Due partly to technological advance, and partly to the demand for a flooring option that is both durable and simple to maintain, rubber flooring, in recent times, has gained much popularity.

The most common is sheeting. Rubber flooring pulled off of a roll is much easier to cut to a correct size; also the form you're likely to find in your local DIY store, rubber flooring in sheet form will usually offer a number of unique designs.
Tiles are also quite popular, allowing homeowners to create stylish patterns. However, rubber flooring tiles aren't the best in the bathroom; in time you'll find that water will get in between the tiles' seam - causing the subfloor to become damaged.
With a huge amount of focus placed on using more environmentally friendly materials, recycled rubber has become the flooring of choice for the conscientious.
