Beauty and Durability
Just because a coating is made to last doesn’t mean it has to look like it! Rubber coatings offer many different styles and designs without sacrificing any durability. This coating can support heavy weights, spills, and abrasions with ease.
Safety
Anywhere that has high foot traffic is subject to accidents no matter how careful you are. This coating can help reduce the risk of accidents happening because of the natural traction that rubber coatings have to offer. Rubber coatings are water resistant making slips less likely and preventing water damage as well. While these coatings can help prevent accidents when they do occur this coating can reduce the impact thus reducing injury.
Easy Maintenance
Rubber coatings are incredibly easy to maintain because they are resistant to virtually anything the environment has to throw at them. These floors rarely need a chemical cleaning so a simple damp mop can be used for cleaning. If you want to try a specific cleaner on your rubber coating be sure to ask a professional for their opinion because some chemicals are safe but others can cause damage.
Sound Absorbant
Many gyms, play places, and other loud areas use this flooring because of the sound absorption it has to offer. When you have children playing or the clanking of weights it is important to have a coating that can absorb that sound so you can focus.
Water Resistance
While rubber coatings are resistant to most things, water resistance is one of the most important elements to protect against. Not only does this protection help against damage from water spills but it can also prevent the growth of mold and bacteria within and below the coating.
