rubber is available in a fantastic range of colors and textures and flexible rubber tiles. Rubber flooring is its cushioning effect which dissipates impact energy and thus reduces strain on joints and muscles. This then helps to provide comfort underfoot and prevent fatigue. This makes it an ideal flooring for situations where people will be standing for long periods. This cushioning comes from rubber’s highly-elastic polymer chains arranged in a unique cross-linked network, which enables them to act like miniature springs beneath your feet and gives rubber some of its great resilience under heavy weights. Another advantage of a rubber flooring is hygienic and safe. With the smoother surface it does not easily harbor pet hairs, dust mites and other allergens. Rubber flooring also give extremely high surface traction, making rubber flooring an ideal anti-slip floor covering in both work and home environments.
To lay rubber flooring first you need to make sure the floor beneath is dry and flat. Once a tiled rubber floor has been finished and sealed with a top coat of matt or gloss sealer, it only needs a wipe with soapy water to keep it clean. While a mat finish looks more sophisticated and modern, bar in mind that it will show the dirt more readily. Rubber, particularly if it’s a light color can stain. Poured rubber floors have a more durable and uniform finish but installation can be difficult and the costs are higher.
