The inherent properties of rubber flooring are durability, natural resiliency and low maintenance. These features have allowed rubber flooring to become an ideal choice for a great many applications. Health care, institution, offices and retail installations have become the home for rubber flooring applications. Some of the many other advantages are listed below:

      • Resilient floor for comfort
      • Dimensionally stable
      • Very sound absorbent
      • Excellent slip resistance
      • Resistance to heavy impact loads
      • Resistant to cigarette burns and chemical spills
      • Homogeneous construction
      • Color uniformity
      • No health or environmental concerns
      • Recyclable
      • Easy to maintain

With many stylish colors and textures available to choose from, Rubber flooring has moved out of institutions and is starting to be used more and more in residential applications. Home bars, recreation rooms, laundry, mud rooms and home offices are just a few ideal locations for rubber floor covering.

Rubber flooring is a very versatile floor covering option however, it is often over looked by floor covering professionals. There is a misconception surrounding rubber flooring that it is very expensive and hard to maintain. Although it is not the cheapest option, rubber flooring does provide very good long-term value. Following the manufacturers maintenance schedule will alleviate the myth about difficult cleaning. If you want a floor covering option that is unique, rubber flooring is worth a look.
