Rubber Flooring Guide
## Introduction
Rubber flooring is an essential solution for spaces where durability, slip resistance and comfort underfoot are a priority. From gyms and playrooms to workshops and commercial premises, modern rubber flooring options offer a wide range of styles, thicknesses and textures to fit your needs.
## Types of Rubber Flooring
There are three main types of rubber flooring:
- **Interlocking Tiles** – ideal for home gyms and workshops; they click together without adhesives for easy installation and replacement.
- **Rubber Rolls** – best for covering large areas like fitness studios and weight rooms; they provide seamless coverage and reduce seams for improved hygiene.
- **Rubber Mats** – portable single mat options for protecting specific areas such as under gym equipment or entranceways; they come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses.
## Installation & Benefits
Most rubber flooring is simple to install; interlocking tiles and mats can be laid loose, while rolls may require double-sided tape or adhesive for a permanent fit. Benefits include:
- Excellent shock absorption and noise reduction.
- Natural slip resistance even when wet.
- Low maintenance; sweep regularly and mop with mild detergent.
