Rubber flooring is one of the more popular types of flooring across the nation today for residential and commercial buildings. There are many benefits offered by rubber flooring that make this type of floor an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications.

Superior Durability

One of the biggest benefits of rubber flooring is its superior durability. Rubber flooring is stain resistant, does not wear easily under heavy usage, is waterproof and is dent resistant. Rubber flooring can remain looking like new for many years after installation.

Extensive Color Selection

Rubber flooring can be created in nearly every color imaginable. Many schools choose to install rubber flooring in their gyms to match the colors of the school's sports teams. The same extensive color selection is available for rubber flooring intended for use in private homes.

Simple Installation

While the material is also available in sheet form that can be installed professionally, rubber flooring tile is one of the easiest types of flooring to install. The interlocking tiles snap into place to extend the flooring from wall to wall. No adhesive or double-stick tape is required for installation because the rubber flooring tiles are designed to be loose laid.

Earth Friendly

Rubber flooring is one of the more earth friendly types of flooring. It is made from natural rubber, which is a sustainable resource, and often contains recycled rubber as well. Rubber flooring does not require the use of chemical agents, such as strippers or sealants, for maintenance, as many other types of flooring do.

Easy Configuration

Rubber flooring tiles can be easily adapted to any room configuration. The tiles interlock on all four sides, allowing the installer to extend each portion of the flooring as far as it is needed. Corner and border tiles are available for finishing the edges of the flooring.

Resilience

Rubber flooring provides a warm, quiet, shock-absorbent surface. When used in athletic or home workout situations, it helps to prevent injury to the body.
