Upfit Select VanMat Review: Affordable One-Piece Rubber Floor Mat for Work Vans

Posted in Overview Videos

Not every van needs a flooring system. Plenty of trades just need the bare metal covered before it gets dented, scraped and chipped — and before somebody slips climbing in on a wet morning. The problem is that most cargo van flooring is built and priced for a full upfit, which is hard to justify when all you want is coverage.

There's a simpler tier, and this is what it looks like.

Upfit Select VanMat review

This review covers the Upfit Select VanMat — an economy one-piece rubber floor custom cut for your van and wheelbase. What it's made of, how it installs, and when it's the right call versus stepping up to something heavier.

One piece, no matter the van

The VanMat ships as a single piece regardless of van size. No seams across your cargo area, nothing to line up, nothing to trim. It's lightweight enough to carry in yourself, and installation is genuinely just setting it in place and rolling it out front to back.

The specs

  • About 3/16 of an inch thick, which puts it right in line with other economy rubber floors on the market
  • Virgin rubber compound rather than recycled content, so it holds up better against tearing
  • Checker plate pattern on top, which reduces slipping in the back of the van
  • Moisture resistant, chemical resistant and tear resistant — built for the everyday demands of a work van
  • Custom cut for your van and wheelbase, not a generic sheet you have to measure and cut

Who it's for

The VanMat is the entry point in cargo van flooring, and that's the whole argument for it. If you don't need a heavy-duty system and just want something that covers the floor, makes the back of the van more usable, and gives you better footing on the way in and out, this does that job without turning into a weekend project.

If your work calls for more — rolling hand trucks in and out, setting down heavy point loads, anchoring shelving to the floor — a rigid composite floor is the better buy. We'd rather tell you that than sell you the wrong thing. Compare the options across our cargo van flooring range.

Fleet ready

Whether you need one for a single work van or 800 for an entire fleet, the VanMat is available across the common wheelbases and van platforms, so you can standardize on one product across mixed vehicles.

FAQ

How thick is the VanMat?
About 3/16 of an inch, which is in line with other economy rubber van floors.

Is it one piece or does it come in sections?
One piece, whatever the size of your van. No seams across the cargo area.

Will it slide around?
It's cut to the shape of your specific van and wheelbase, so it holds its position without fasteners or adhesive.

How do I clean it?
Pull it out and hose it off, or wipe it down in place. The rubber is moisture and chemical resistant, so wet boots, spilled cleaners and job-site grit aren't a problem.

Is it better than a rigid floor?
Different job. A rigid composite floor carries rolling and point loads and gives shelving something solid to anchor to. The VanMat covers and protects the metal and improves footing. If you're rolling equipment in and out daily, go rigid.

Does it have a smell when it arrives?
A new-rubber smell on unpacking is normal and fades.
