Rubber Flooring & Rubber Sheet Flooring:
Rubber flooring is durable, slip-resistant and sound absorbent, making it perfect for application in high-traffic applications like hospitals and gyms. Not only is rubber flooring resistant to wear-and-tear of heavy traffic loads, its cushioned design also prevents fatigue of employees and/or customers as they walk. It also reduces the volume of noise and prevents impact damage to the subfloor below.
While it’s easy to install and maintain, its “rubbery” smell will linger long after installation. And its lack of design and finishing options makes this more of a utilitarian product than an aesthetic one. Despite its drawbacks, rubber flooring is a great product for use in daycare facilities, gyms, labs and hospitals due to its strength, durability and acoustic qualities.
