See the attached photo. I want to replace this covering in my utility bay with something similar. I thought this would be some sort of stair tread, but can't seem to find it. Does anyone know a source?
Thanks in advance.
McMaster-Carr: ribbed rubber mat?
Frankly, I have never seen the advantage of the black rubber mat over just the clean white fiberglass. But, there may some glue residue that makes recovering the fiberglass necessary.
A previous owner installed gray 12" vinyl tile on our basement floors. It is easy to clean and works quite well.
If you are going to replace it, I would lean toward one piece/no seams for less chance of water intrusion.
Definitely a good idea if the floor will get wet. I never mop or hose down our basement floors and I believe our door gaskets keep the outside water outside.
Somewhere on here I saw that someone had used pickup truck bed spray. Properly done it will form a water tight covering. A friend had the cockpit sides of his lobster boat style fishing boat done with it and it's still looks good 20 years later.

Our rubber was still good,we put left over new carpet over the rubber,can drag boxes and things over the carpet.
The residue is kind of red in color. Acetone removes it completely but it takes some scrubbing. I always use a rubber mat type material cut to size so I can just pick it up to clean.

I really like the vinyl tile idea. Seems like the truck bed stuff would be harder to clean. And I don't like touching anything in the sewer bay that I have to. I also consider "O" moisture in that area is my target
Since the original rubber mat isn't sealed all that well, I always wonder if there's moisture under it
Home Depot and Lowe's have it on big rolls cut to order.
