Rubber has become a material popular in flooring in recent times; like most floor coverings, it is available in a huge variety of different forms - each catering to specific needs.
Here are just a few of those forms:
Recycled Rubber - Manufactured mainly from consumer waste - such as old plastic bottles and tires - this form of rubber flooring is typically used in gyms and garages, as it offers a considerable amount of durability. The thickness and texture of this particular form of rubber flooring can vary depending on the purpose.
Foam Rubber Tiles - A floor covering that is extremely soft, these rubber tiles are made from a foam - making them ideal for use in areas inhabited by children.
Athletic Type - Both slip resistant and capable of absorbing shock, this type of rubber flooring - as the title suggests - is typically used in gyms to act as a padding for exercise machines.
Much harder and stronger than many options, athletic type rubber flooring is one of the sturdiest floor coverings out there.
