Lets put STW Knowledge bank to the test.

I was given this tile for an archery target and it works really well.

However, I want to get some more but cant source them anywhere. The person who got it dragged it from a skip.

It seem to be a temporary protection flooring (fibre surface above foam chunks are very thin and wouldn't take much foot traffic to be a permanent tile) or drainage mat ?

Any thoughts... What type is it, a name or even a supplier.

Possible clues Droptec ?

That looks remarkably like the safety matting we have under the rope sections of our climbing wall - unfortunately we bought it off ebay so none the wiser as to where you buy it.

google recycled rubber matting ?

You can get interlocking kids floor matting upto 12mm - 14mm I think.

Could be some sort of sound insulation for wall mounting as an idea for further Google work.
