Looks like the same stuff that I got from screw fix last year.
If it is it does make a cracking addition to an aluminium floored sib.
My aluminium floored Honwave was like kneeling on a cheese grater and as slippery as an eel hen wet - before I fitted the matting to it.
One of the best additions I have made to my Sib - and cheapest too.
It's still like new one year on and if cut and fitted properly it doesn't move around.
Easy to remove for washing out the Sib etc.
Here the link to the thread I posted last year.
Get your skates on and get down to Aldi!

I bought a couple of packs last year, good value and at 2' x 2' each tile soon cover the most vunerable areas of the floor although I did buy a second pack to completely cover the floor.
Well worth doing particularly on a flat air floor.

That looks like a good deal!

Disappointingly my nearest store is apparently about 20 miles away.

Can't say I've had any issues with it sliding around.
Mines cut to fit tight against the stringers.
My petrol tank sits on to of the matting - anchoring it down.
I have a heavy duty fishing box with an air flow cushion on top next to the tiller which I sit on 90% of the time - again this helps keeping it anchored down.
Can't praise it enough.

Isn't this sort of matting a PITA to have to fit together each time (like Lego), much easier to roll out a customer fitted HD rubber mat (+ cheaper/harder wearing) maybe?:

clicky

My mate uses the same matting under his kids play swings and chute.
It's out all year and has had loads of foot fall on top of it and still going strong it's 2 years old now.
No issues with it coming apart etc.
As for fitting it back together after washing out the Sib - I've never had any probs.

What does one tell one's friends if they see one coming out of Aldi carrying, of all things' a 'special offer' item? I know that one can slip the products into a Waitrose bag before leaving but what if one forgets?

The "Aldi? Good lord no, I was actually leaving a s*x shop" or "I thought it was an Audi dealership" excuses do wear thin after a while.

A bit clichéd - sorry!

There was a story last year about a woman in the queue at Lidl who was heard to say on her mobile "Darling, I'll have to call you back - I'm in Waitrose".

I like Aldi everything from a pint of milk to a chainsaw all under one roof (the chocolate is particularly good)
