matting

Search the forum,
A mat is a hard rug that generally is placed on a floor or other flat surface. Mats serve a range of purposes including:

serving to clean items passed over it, such as a doormat, which removes dirt from the soles of shoes
protecting that which is above the mat, such as a wrestling or gymnastics mat, or an anti-vibration mat
protecting that which is beneath the mat, such as a place mat or the matting used in archival framing and preservation of documents and paintings
providing a regular or flat surface, such as a cushioned computer mousepad

    Matting advice request

    Matting by Sussex posted Nov 15, 2018 at 8:24 PMHi Just after a bit of advice, I have had my bathroom floor tiled and the tiler has used the matting shown in the picture instead of the DITRA mat he had quoted for. Is this just as suitable? The floor is a chipboard floor. Thanks in advance

    Hi all, Using original style Victorian tiles in a hallway, Question is can I pre fill Ditra with adhesive then leave to set before tiling ??
