Do you carry outdoor rubber rolls? If so what is the largest you carry I would need (1) 21'x 21' ?
All of our rubber rolls can be used outdoors. For the size you are looking for, we would suggest our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls. Here you can cut the rolls to your desired length. The rolls are 4' wide so you will need 5 rolls to cover area 21' long or you can go with 4 rolls which will be a little less than your area at 21' long.

This will create a strong bond and is freeze and thaw stable.

You would use the same glue to adhere the rubber to adhere the ramp.

Was this helpful?I am considering installing in a laundromat. How will this hold up to detergent, fabric softener, or bleach spills?
Our 8mm Pre Cut Rubber Rolls have been installed in laundromats and can handle detergent, fabric softener, and bleach spills with ease. Since these rubber rolls are somewhat porous, the only thing you will notice is that with powder detergents that the powder can get stuck in the pores. It is tough to get the stuff out unless you hose down the floor. Even if this is done, there is potential for it to be still stuck in the floor. Other than that, these rolls are very easy to clean and maintain. For large dirt and debris, we recommend using a vacuum or a broom and for any stuck on dirt to use a mild soap and water solution with a synthetic mop head to clean the floor. These rubber rolls are also very slip-resistant and are more slip resistant even when wet, so they are one of the best flooring options for any laundromat.
