When one chooses to renovate, remodel or renovate their house or a building or whatever, there are a multitude of rubber flooring design options available to choose from. And especially these days with so much focus on the environment, people are taking a closer look at the exact type of materials they are going to use.
In this article we are going to discuss the appearance of the floor of such projects. Did you know that you can now get USA made recycled rubber flooring rolls and tiles that are made from old car tires? This is a brilliant way to reduce the landfill problem, while at the same time creating a desirable and valuable flooring product for commercial and domestic buildings.
Right away, many people start thinking in terms of carpets or hardwood floors when planning their project. However, for the sake of being eco-friendly, you may want to consider rubber rolls or tile. Although many people tend to associate rubber flooring with gym or industrial type locations, it actually offers ideal floor surfaces for just about anywhere, including the home.
Rubber floor covering works great in garages, doggy areas and areas where pets live, as well as everywhere else in the home that benefit from durable, waterproof floor wetpour surfaces. Rubber is very comfortable and very easy to keep clean.
It is definitely a low maintenance option. If you go for the rubber tile option, it is very easy to install. And you can quickly uninstall it in case you need to change the use of a particular room, you can simply disassemble the interlocking rubber tiles like a jigsaw and store it somewhere.
Recycled rubber rolls and tiles are very strong and stain resistant. And as mentioned above, they are extremely environmentally friendly. And many of the brands on the market are made from recycled rubber. An advantage of being recycled is that they do not contain crude oil, which some manufacturers use in newly built rolls from scratch.
If you are going to use the flooring for a gym or garage type of environment, you can opt for the rubber rolls instead of the tiles. They are much easier to unfold and you won't risk accidentally tripping over a crack, which is possible when using smooth-edged rubber tiles. Many workplaces that have hazardous materials tend to opt for rubber flooring rolls over tile for that very reason.
One of the things that discourages those less knowledgeable about floor covering rubber is that they tend to associate it with the terms "dull appearance" and "smelly." Well, once upon a time that may have been the case, but today, well, that is definitely not true.
Rubber rolls and tiles no longer have that rubbery smell and come in a variety of colors, thicknesses, and if you opt for tiles, multiple sizes. The available colors go with just about any color scheme you're working with, including very bright primary colors!
So with that said, when considering how you are going to decorate your floors in your renovations or home improvements, it is up to you (and certainly the environment) to consider recycled rubber flooring. Take a look and it will really surprise you, in a good way.
