Rooftop Surfaces | Rubber Rooftop Tiles & Artificial Grass

Transform an unused roof, terrace or elevated outdoor area into a safer, more comfortable and practical space with specialist rooftop flooring from Sprung.

Our collection includes durable rubber roof tiles, self-draining outdoor surfaces and artificial grass for rooftop gardens. These products are designed to withstand regular foot traffic, changing weather conditions and the demands of exposed outdoor environments while helping to protect the surface underneath.

Whether you are creating a residential roof terrace, communal seating area, commercial walkway, rooftop garden or outdoor fitness space, our range offers reliable flooring solutions for a variety of applications.

Durable Flooring for Rooftops and Roof Terraces

Rooftop flooring needs to do more than improve the appearance of a space. It must remain stable underfoot, manage rainfall effectively and withstand prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions.

Our rubber rooftop flooring tiles are manufactured from durable recycled rubber and are suitable for both domestic and commercial projects. Their resilient construction creates a more comfortable surface for roof terraces, rooftop gardens, access routes, patios and recreational areas.

Selected tiles feature drainage channels or raised undersides that allow rainwater to move beneath the flooring towards the existing drainage points. This makes rubber tiles a practical choice for exposed spaces where drainage, grip and long-term durability are important.

Rubber Rooftop Tiles

Rubber tiles offer a versatile, low-maintenance solution for roof terraces, outdoor seating areas, walkways and communal spaces.

Our rooftop rubber tiles are available in several formats and thicknesses, including compact 500mm tiles and larger 1m x 1m options. Their dense rubber construction helps to provide:

• Improved comfort underfoot
• Reliable grip in wet and dry conditions
• Protection for the underlying roof surface
• Impact and vibration reduction
• Support for outdoor furniture and equipment
• Reduced noise from footsteps and movement
• A clean, practical rooftop finish

The modular tile format also makes it easier to work around drains, rooftop fixtures, irregular edges and other permanent features. Individual tiles can usually be cut to size where necessary, helping installers create a neat and professional finish.

Extra-Thick Rubber Roof Tiles

For areas that require greater cushioning, impact protection or durability, consider our extra-thick rubber rooftop tiles.

These heavier tiles are suited to more demanding rooftop settings, including activity zones, commercial terraces and spaces containing heavier furniture or fitness equipment. The additional thickness provides increased shock absorption and creates a more forgiving surface underfoot.

Extra-thick tiles can also help protect the roofing system from everyday knocks, movement and concentrated activity. The structural capacity of the roof must always be confirmed before installing heavy flooring, equipment or large planters.

30mm Rubber Roofing Tiles

Our 30mm rubber roofing tiles provide a practical option for roof terraces, walkways and general outdoor areas.

The compact 500mm x 500mm format makes these tiles straightforward to handle and position, particularly in smaller spaces or layouts with multiple corners and rooftop features. They can be used to create defined paths, seating zones or complete floor coverings.

The 30mm thickness provides a useful balance of durability, protection and manageability, making it suitable for many residential and light-commercial rooftop applications.

Artificial Grass for Rooftop Gardens

For a softer and more natural-looking finish, our artificial grass for rooftop gardens can turn a plain roof terrace into a more welcoming outdoor environment.

Artificial grass adds colour and texture without the watering, mowing or ongoing maintenance required by natural turf. It is suitable for rooftop gardens, residential terraces, hospitality areas, balconies and leisure-focused outdoor spaces.

Rubber flooring and artificial grass can also be combined within the same project. Rubber tiles may be used beneath furniture, equipment and high-traffic routes, while artificial grass creates a softer relaxation or seating area.

Using different surface types can help divide a rooftop into clear functional zones without the need for permanent walls or structures.

Benefits of Rubber Rooftop Flooring

Weather-Resistant Performance

Outdoor-rated rubber tiles are designed to withstand rain, sunlight and fluctuating temperatures. They provide a more dependable solution than indoor flooring products that are not manufactured for prolonged exposure to the elements.

Effective Surface Drainage

Drainage channels and raised base profiles allow water to pass beneath the flooring towards the rooftop’s existing drainage system. This can reduce standing water and help the surface dry more efficiently following rainfall.

The underlying roof must still have a suitable fall, intact waterproofing and clear drainage outlets. Rubber tiles should not be used to disguise or correct existing drainage problems.

Slip-Resistant Finish

Textured rubber provides dependable grip underfoot, making it suitable for walkways, seating areas and frequently used terraces.

As with all outdoor surfaces, regular maintenance is important. Leaves, dirt, moss and algae should be removed before they affect the grip or appearance of the flooring.

Protection for the Roof Surface

Rubber tiles create a resilient layer between the waterproof roof membrane and the activity taking place above it. They can help reduce damage caused by foot traffic, moving furniture, dropped objects and light equipment.

The compatibility of the flooring with the existing roof membrane should always be confirmed before installation. A suitable separation or protection layer may be required for certain roofing systems.

Comfort and Impact Absorption

Rubber is more forgiving than bare concrete, stone or hard rooftop materials. Its cushioned quality makes terraces and communal spaces more comfortable for walking, standing and recreational use.

Thicker options provide additional protection in areas where impact absorption is a priority.

Reduced Noise and Vibration

Dense rubber helps reduce the transfer of impact noise and vibration caused by footsteps, furniture movement and light exercise. This can be particularly valuable on apartment buildings, commercial properties and shared rooftop spaces.

Where Can Rooftop Flooring Be Used?

Our rooftop surfaces can be used across a wide range of domestic and commercial environments, including:

• Residential roof terraces
• Apartment and penthouse balconies
• Rooftop gardens
• Hospitality terraces
• Communal seating areas
• Outdoor office breakout spaces
• Commercial access walkways
• Maintenance routes
• Rooftop gyms and training zones
• Elevated patios
• Recreational and play areas

Rooftop Flooring for Commercial Projects

Commercial rooftops may need to accommodate frequent foot traffic, furniture, equipment, maintenance access and year-round weather exposure.

Modular rubber tiles are useful in these settings because individual sections can generally be lifted or replaced without removing the entire floor. This helps maintain access to drains, inspection points and roofing components.

Before selecting a product, consider:

• Expected pedestrian traffic
• Furniture and equipment loads
• Wind exposure
• Existing roof falls and drainage
• Fire-performance requirements
• Accessibility
• Required impact protection
• Roof-membrane compatibility
• Future maintenance access

For larger or more complex projects, contact the Sprung team for help identifying a suitable specification.

Installing Rubber Flooring on a Rooftop

Installation requirements vary depending on the flooring product, rooftop construction and exposure level.

Before laying any surface, confirm that the roof is structurally suitable, properly waterproofed and able to support the combined weight of the flooring, furniture, equipment and users. The area should be clean, stable and able to drain correctly.

Important installation considerations include:

• Keeping drains and outlets unobstructed
• Maintaining the existing direction of water flow
• Using a protective separation layer where required
• Allowing access to inspection points
• Checking door and threshold clearances
• Assessing wind uplift on exposed sites
• Confirming compatibility with the roofing membrane
• Avoiding permanent fixing where future access is required

Some rubber tiles can be loose laid or fitted tightly within a defined area, while others may require additional restraint. Adhesive should only be used when it is suitable for both the tile and the underlying roofing system.

Measuring Your Rooftop

Measure the length and width of the usable area in metres, then multiply the two figures to calculate the total floor area.

For example:

5m x 4m = 20m²

For irregular rooftops, divide the space into smaller rectangular sections, calculate each area separately and add the totals together.

It is usually sensible to order additional material for cutting, fitting and waste. The precise allowance will depend on the tile format and complexity of the layout.
