The household real estate market is an integral part of the American – and world – economy. There are about 117 million households located here in the United States, and a good portion of owners may be in the process of a renovation project, or considering remodeling, at any given time. Residential remodeling is serious business in America, and TV shows about residence revamps have boomed in popularity. Anyone who has seen an episode, renovated their own house, or even just browsed the options knows that one of the most important decisions to be made is the kind of flooring you want. The look, feel and price of the surface all play a part in the decision. But we’re here to tell you that home rubber flooring can often prove to be the best choice. Materials like hardwood, carpet, and tile are the most commonly used in the household. While these may be attractive, they can be quite susceptible to damage, usually from either physical objects or moisture. Finding the best floor protection may be the toughest part of any remodel or home improvement project. But residential rubber flooring is becoming an increasingly popular option. Luckily, the Rubber Flooring Experts are here to offer an assortment of residential rubber flooring products that are durable, protective, comfortable, easy to install, and very cost effective.
Our home rubber flooring products are extremely sturdy while still bringing the benefit of being reasonably priced. While sensitive surfaces like hardwood and tile are popular, there is no doubt that rubber is the most durable residential flooring. We offer eco-friendly residential rubber flooring and home garage floor options, with flooring surfaces made from recycled and reclaimed rubber products. Recycled and reclaimed rubber, which are made from discarded vehicle tires, exhibit remarkable durability and weathering characteristics, making them perfect for residential rubber flooring applications both indoors and outdoors. Much like the tires it is made from, recycled rubber resists water, UV rays, ozone, and rough physical abrasions. The superior durability characteristics inherent in tire rubber allow for it to be made into residential rubber flooring products that will outlast other flooring options. This toughness is especially important when you are kitting out a surface that might see a lot of wear and tear, such as a home garage floor. A rubber surface can better withstand the physical impact of high volume foot traffic and the pressure of heavy objects. Any basement or home garage floor equipped with residential rubber flooring will benefit from the warmth, comfort and durability it provides!
Rubber is tough and long lasting enough to provide a great protective surface for home entryways, garages, patios, and other residential areas. For example, some people might use their garage as a personal gym. When a rubber home garage floor mat is installed under heavy home gym equipment or storage units, it can protect a concrete garage floor from damage while still keeping equipment safe from hard floors. Rubber surfacing on a home garage floor can also withstand moisture, as well as other liquid and even chemical spills. So, if you want to keep your home garage floor protected, make it more functional and keep it in great shape for the long term, a home rubber flooring product could be the way to go. Residential rubber flooring performs best in rooms that see frequent spills, such as a bathroom, kitchen, or playroom. Some people even like rubber flooring in their bedroom because it is always comfortable on bare feet. Ultimately, any part of the home that gets messy, slippery, or simply needs better floor protection will hugely benefit from having residential rubber flooring installed.
One huge consideration when it comes to choosing any type of flooring is moisture hazards. Excess water can make most surfaces very slippery. Think of the amount of times you have seen the yellow ‘CAUTION’ sign on a tile floor after a recent spill. Residential rubber flooring has great natural traction and can handle the rigors of excess moisture with ease. The material in home rubber flooring does not get slippery when wet. Quite the opposite, it actually maintains acceptable levels of grip! Excess moisture also has a nasty habit of developing mold and mildew on surfaces like wood. But rubber eliminates that from happening because it does not allow for microbial agents to form on it. This can be essential in rooms that are likely to see a lot of moisture, such as the kitchen or bathroom. Residential rubber flooring is not only very sturdy, but also helps keep you in good health!
Residential rubber flooring can also be more comfortable to stand on thanks to the elastic nature of rubber. Hard surfaces like wood and tile offer no cushioning or tension relief for the feet standing on top of them. This is because they do not have any spring or elasticity. Rubber, on the other hand, is far more flexible, and residential rubber flooring can feel fantastic under your feet. Even though a particular piece of residential rubber flooring may appear to feel hard and strong, it still has enough elasticity to accommodate feet and give them some cushioning. When a person is on their feet for extended periods of time, they tend to experience discomfort in their soles, ankles, and lower back. With home rubber flooring in place, you are bound to experience more comfort than you normally would on a hardwood surface. The elastic nature of the home rubber flooring helps to ease any tension or pressure that may build up in the joints and lower back, allowing you to move around more comfortably for longer periods of time.
Our home rubber flooring is also designed as an easy to install product. Residential rubber flooring is available in interlocking floor tiles or custom-cut rolls. This limits waste during the installation process. By making the installation process simpler, our residential rubber flooring is a cost-effective ‘Do-It-Yourself’ flooring option. In recent times, the interlocking tile options have become very popular because they had a touch of fun to the installation process and are especially easy to secure into place. Their interlocking nature actually makes them even easier to install than rolled matting! If your home garage floor or office room floor needs a bit of a functional facelift, invest your time and money in residential rubber flooring. Whether you want a full rubber surface, or a smaller mat to protect existing flooring, the Rubber Flooring Experts can help you find the residential rubber flooring that will fit your home. Home rubber flooring can protect your surfaces and allow you to live in greater comfort for years to come.
