Rubber Backed Floor Mat

Rubber Backed Floor Mat

Our Rubber-backed Floor Mats feature a textile-pile top and a non-slip rubber mat on the bottom, ensuring the floor stays securely in place. They’re ideal for shooting small children, as their durable, stable surface can withstand active movement. If you're looking for a long-lasting photography floor, we highly recommend these mats.

Material: Textile-pile top and a non-slip rubber mat on the bottom

Care Instructions: It is recommended to gently sweep the floor after each use, as vacuuming may damage it. For cake smashes, a protective layer like plexiglass is suggested, as food dye may stain unpredictably. The floor can be spot cleaned with a damp rag, and if it gets wet, ensure it's completely dry before storage. Some have successfully used a pressure washer for heavy cleaning, but be cautious of high pressure, which could potentially damage the floor.

Storage: Roll or lay flat for easy storage.

Sizes (hxw): 4x5', 5x5', 5x7', 8x8', 8x10', 8x12', 8x14', an 10x8'

What is the Difference between a Fabric Floor and a Rubber Backed Floor?: Our fabric floors are made from Fleece, Dream Fleece, Royal Dream or Premium material, depending on the size. Both Fleece and Dream Fleece options are designed to adhere to our Rubber Backed Floor Mats, helping prevent shifting and wrinkling during use. These floors are flexible, easy to fold, and can be stored just like a backdrop. We highly suggest you purchase a Fabric Floor in Fleece or Dream Fleece to adhere to our Rubber Backed Floor Mats.

Removing Wrinkles

Over time, backdrops may become wrinkled due to long-term use, folding, or a lack of proper maintenance. To remove these wrinkles, start by hanging the backdrop and lightly spraying it with cool water using a spray bottle. Alternatively, you can use a handheld steamer on a low temperature to steam out the wrinkles. Using stands and clamps is a great way to keep the fabric taut and avoid further creases. After cleaning or removing wrinkles, let the backdrop air dry naturally for an even finish, or use a dryer (setting recommendations on each fabric above) on for about 20 minutes before hanging it.
