Rubber
Rubber floor have gained in popularity for particular uses in the last 10 years. It is a great floor and easy to maintain, but like any floor, it requires the right amount of attention at particular times.
Rubber has many advantages:
- Very durable
- Quiet
- Handles heavy impact & traffic well
- Recyclable
- Available in bright colors with high level of uniformity
- Slip resistant
Its maintenance needs:
- Like almost all floors, rubber should be regularly swept / mopped to remove dirt (sand, here in Florida) that will abrade the surface.
- Rubber floors should be regularly mopped with an cleaning solution to remove lightly-ground in soiling.
- A maintenance program of scrubbing the floors with a cleaner to remove more ground-in soiling.
- Rubber floors can be stripped using a specialty low-pH rubber floor stripper when regular maintenance no longer improves the appearance.
