Most people, when asked what kind of options they have for their floors, will always think of hardwood, laminate, ceramics, stone, vinyl, cork or bamboo. However, most will neglect to mention or even think of rubber as a viable option, unfortunately. Below, are great reasons to choose rubber flooring in and around your home.
Certainly, it isn't recommended as being a good option when it comes to the formal living room or dining room. However, there are many rooms and certain areas that can benefit from such an installation for many years to come. For instance, the basement which can often be semi-finished and used in different ways, such as for storage. Such an installation can provide not only comfort underfoot, but also an easy solution when it comes to cleaning, as opposed to other surfaces that require a lot of maintenance to remove unwanted dust and dirt that can collect in such an area. Rubber flooring only needs a solution of water and mild soap to be wiped down.
In the playroom, it is an option that is second to none as it provides comfort as well as safety, making it a safe environment for children to play in. In addition to that, it also absorbs sound unlike other types of floors. So, when there is a room full of excited and screaming children, these sounds and those of dropping toys and such, won't carry as much, making the home quieter and more comfortable for everyone else.
For the home gym, it is the optimum choice among most homeowners. Not only can the installation be completed quickly, but it can also reduce any risk of injuries to those who work out. It will also provide for a quieter home, as the material absorbs the noise that can come from dropping weights.
Rubber flooring also makes certain rooms safer, as it is slip resistant, even when wet. This makes it a great choice for the garage as well. The concrete floor can be protected, but also individuals who walk on the rubber surface because of its slip resistant nature.
The consumer also has options with regards to how this material is offered, such as by roll or in interlocking tiles. Either way, the installation isn't difficult and can be done by practically anyone, although it is a very heavy material. Aside from this, it's also a great solution to providing a safer entryway, such as on the porch.
It is certainly a great option for all the reasons mentioned above, but also for the good of the environment. Firstly, it's stain resistant and long-lasting. But more than that, it is completely recyclable.
While all these positive points are being made about rubber flooring, many homeowners may be questioning how it would look in a living space. Granted, the main color background is black, but manufacturers have splashed bits of color, much like confetti or torn pieces of paper to provide some color. The result is an easy way to decorate the mud room or the basement, simply by choosing your favorite color.
