Residential Rubber Flooring: Rolls and Mats for Home

Posted by Rubber-Cal Inc on September 21st, 2017

Using rubberized mats and rubber flooring rolls for the home can be a good idea for areas where soft and grippy surfaces are needed. These mats can also add a layer of safety against falls or bumps—all while providing good insulation, too. They are easy to handle and manipulate to fit any size and shape floor, making them a versatile flooring option for any room.

Rubber flooring rolls come in a variety of forms which can be suitable to particular applications. They usually come in tiles that can interlock with each other, or big sheets or rolls that come in long pieces ideal for covering large areas. Installed properly, they may never need additional adhesives to lay them down, making them easy to apply or replace. Rubber flooring can also act as a moisture barrier making them ideal material for basement and garage floors or in areas where water may be an issue.

Rubber mats come in a wide variety of colors, thicknesses and textures and can be used in different areas of the home. They are easiest to install in square shaped rooms as they come in set size tiles which lends itself better to flat angled walls. Most rubber floor tiles have interlocking edges that help keep them locked together once laid down and will often not require adhesives to keep them down the floor.

In general, thick and heavy rubber tiles are best suited for exterior applications as they are more hardwearing and can better resist impact and pressure. Textured rubber tiles are great for garages and driveways where the added grip is desirable. High texture patterns are also great for helping with water runoff and preventing puddles from forming.

Aside from use as a soft padding for areas like kid playrooms, rubber flooring can also work great for kitchen and utility areas in the home. Thanks to rubber flooring’s ability to resist staining and spills—as well as the fact that they are easy to maintain—they are fast becoming popular for many residential uses. Rubber flooring rolls that mimic wood planking have also become widely available and are finding more and more uses in the home because they are extremely durable and require very little maintenance.
