Rubber Flooring – Flooring of the Future

AE Playroom (2)I’m sure when you’re contemplating purchasing new flooring for your home, rubber probably is not one of the first types to come to mind. Rubber flooring reminds most people of gyms or health care institutions. However, you may be surprised to know that rubber flooring is becoming an increasingly popular residential flooring option.

 Why consider rubber flooring you ask? Well, it has its fair share of benefits.

 Rubber floors are:

  • Durable
  • Easy to clean
  • Flexible and comfortable – Great for children and elderly adults as they can minimize injuries as well as joint aches and pains
  • Sound absorbent
  • Slip resistant
  • Resistant to mold, fungi and bacteria
  • Fire retardant
  • Safe for people with allergies (hypoallergenic)
  • Environmentally friendly and recyclable

 They also come in a variety of colors and patterns, and solid -colored, speckled, and marbleized floors are popping up in homes all over the country. 

 Where should you install it? Rubber floors are most commonly installed in play rooms, garages, home gyms, kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, but they can work just about anywhere. They can add a little extra flair to your living space.

 Now, I must warn you. Rubber is not the cheapest flooring option, but its durability and long life will more than make up for the extra cost.
