When to Use Rubber Flooring

Modern homes offer more than just your standard living room, dining room, and bedrooms. Many homes feature playrooms and home gyms. These specialized rooms require flooring that will satisfy the functions of these rooms.

Consider rubber flooring for the following rooms:

• Home gyms. Rubber floors are ideal for home gyms due to their durability and denseness. It can help reduce the noise and vibrations created when gym equipment is in use. If you don’t want wall to wall rubber flooring in your home gym, you can opt to purchase just a few interlocking squares to go beneath each piece of equipment. To determine how much rubber flooring you need, for example, to place beneath your ROM Machine, measure the equipment, and add between 20-30 inches to each side. This will allow you to get on and off the equipment and still land on rubber flooring.
• Playrooms. When it comes to playtime, kids need a forgiving surface. Rubber floors offer shock absorption to help ease the pain of the everyday fall. They also come in a variety of colors and patterns, allowing you to create a bright, fun area in which your children can play.
• Bathrooms. Rubber flooring is non-slip even when it’s wet. It gives excellent traction so that when you step out of the shower, you won’t risk falling on the typical tile bathroom floor.

Rubber floors are durable; they come in a variety of colors and styles to ensure they suit any existing home décor; they are easy to install, and even easier to clean.
