In
today's world, rubber has increasingly been in demand to be used as
floor cover. The advantages of rubber
sheets
to be used as floor covers are many. Below mentioned are a few:
- Multiple Uses: Rubber as floor cover has multiple uses in both domestic and commercial environments. Usually, it can be used in any such place which calls for durability, safety and easy maintenance. Some examples are kitchens, bathrooms and garage flooring along with healthcare facilities and sports settings.
- Durability: This type of floor covering is fabulous for high traffic areas. It is extremely durable with an expected shelf life of atleast 15 years, but, it could easily last much longer if looked after properly. Even if it is used in such areas where weights are frequently dropped, like gymnasiums, rubber flooring does not get damaged or torn.
- Easy Maintenance: This type of floor covering can easily be taken care of. It is stain resistant, dirt repellent, chemicals resistant, requires low maintenance and easy to clean. Its basic maintenance requires nothing more than a mop and warm clean water.
- Safety: This type of floor covering is a really good idea for flooring where people have to stand all day, like commercial kitchens, factories, warehouses and garages. This is so because it is considered as a shock absorber.
