Durable, environmentally-friendly
Commercial rubber flooring products, including rubber tiles and sheet goods, are made from synthetic rubber, and come in ribbed, coin, or other raised patterns in a wide range of colors and styles and can be easily recycled. In fact, some flooring materials are made by reclaiming our mountains of used automobile tires. It is extremely durable, fire code compliant, resists dents and stains, is quiet to walk on, and has a unique softness that gives ergonomic comfort, slip resistance, and noise absorption / sound deadening.
Natural, sustainable
Discovered by Christopher Columbus in the late Fourteenth Century, rubber is an environmentally-friendly, sustainable material that is made from the sap-like extract (latex) harvested from the Hevea tree, commonly known as rubber trees. The extraction process, called “tapping”, is similar to the collection of maple tree sap where a bucket is used to collect the flow of latex, with no damage to the tree itself, a 100% sustainable method.
Solid, resistant, long-lasting
With the advent of vulcanization, rubber has become a much more resilient, hygienic, and long-lasting flooring alternative like no other due to its extreme strength and comfort.
Multi-use, comfortable, clean
The benefits of rubber are numerous:
- Chemical Resistance
- Infection Control
- Low Maintenance
- Slip Resistance
- Stain resistant
- Optimal Acoustics
- Resilience
The comfort of rubber is extremely beneficial in the healthcare and athletic markets, where the reduction in strain and fatigue is imperative. Across other markets such as education, commercial, and manufacturing, this durable product proves to be an excellent choice in flooring. When evaluated based on its durability, minimal maintenance requirements, good wear resistance, and length of life cycle, it offers a low-cost alternative to many other flooring options over the long term.
