Rubber is a highly durable, water-resistant, and impact-absorbing material. It is used for flooring in high-traffic areas that require some protection from slips and falls, such as gyms, yoga studios, hospitals, playgrounds, and schools. At Elegant Floor Services, we specialize in high-quality flooring services, from installation and maintenance to repair and restoration and can help you choose the right type of flooring for your home or business.

Exploring Different Types of Rubber Flooring

Our flooring contractors can install all types of rubber flooring, from rubber flooring for gyms and basements to rubber flooring for garages. The type you choose depends on the location and purpose, your budget, and your personal preferences. If the flooring will get a lot of foot traffic or heavy use, you should install gym rubber flooring. If you are installing mats for play or exercise and they will need to be moved around regularly or stored in a closet, you should choose interlocking tiles. Here is a look at the different types you can choose from:

• Rubber Rolls – Rubber gym flooring rolls are long rolls of rubber that are cut to fit the space. They provide extra cushioning in areas where people will be doing high-impact activities, like yoga, karate, boxing, or other workouts. They are also great for playgrounds and play areas for children.
• Rubber Mat Flooring – Rubber floor matting offers extra grip and padding in small areas. It is ideal for places where people spend a lot of time on their feet in one position, such as in front of a cash register, sink, work table, welcome area, display table, etc. It is easy to install and can be quickly removed for cleaning and maintenance.
• Interlocking Tiles – Tiles have interlocking edges that allow them to fit together. They can be easily installed and removed for cleaning or storage. They offer extra padding to prevent injury from slips or falls and stabilize surfaces underneath exercise equipment so the floor underneath isn’t damaged and are ideal for use in daycare centers, playgrounds, play areas, gymnastics centers, schools, home gyms, and children’s exercise and dance studios.

Benefits of Rubber Flooring

Installing rubber flooring can offer protection from slips, falls, and injuries and can also protect the flooring underneath from damage. Let’s look at the biggest benefits:

• Improved Safety – Installing rubber flooring can make an area safer and reduce the risk of slips, falls, and injuries. If someone does fall, their fall is cushioned, and the rubber absorbs the impact, so they are less likely to suffer from a serious injury.
• Cost-Effective – It is one of the most cost-effective flooring for large areas that need protection from slips, falls, and injuries. It is also highly durable and doesn’t require a lot of care and maintenance, so it can last a long time without needing to be repaired or replaced.
• Highly Versatile – Mats and tiles can be easily moved for cleaning and storage and put back in place when needed.
• Water Resistance – Rubber is resistant to water absorption and can withstand spills and sweat without becoming damaged. Even if water gets on the surface, it will not make the flooring slippery or dangerous.
• Sound Absorption – Rubber absorbs impact and is much quieter than harder flooring. It is ideal for environments that get a lot of high-impact activity, like gyms and playgrounds.
• Low-Maintenance – The flooring is easy to clean and maintain and does not require any special tools or products.

Caring for & Maintaining Your Flooring

With proper care and maintenance, your flooring will last longer and will remain safe to use. Here are our tips for cleaning and maintaining your rubber flooring:

• Use a mild detergent mixed with warm water to remove sweat, stains, and spills.
• Use a sponge, microfiber cloth, or soft mop to clean.
• Do not use harsh chemicals like oil-based cleansers or solvents or strong acids or alkalis as they can cause the rubber to break down over time.
• Always rinse the floor with clean water after cleaning and make sure it dries completely before use.

Budgeting for the Cost of Rubber Flooring

The cost of rubber flooring depends on the size of the installation area and the type you choose. Interlocking tiles and gym mats will be less expensive because they cover a smaller area. Flooring rolls may be more expensive depending on the square footage of the installation area. In general, flooring can cost between $1-16 per square foot for rolls, $3-8 for tiles, and $1-5 for mats.
