Commercial Rubber Flooring

Options for Commercial Rubber Flooring

Commercial rubber flooring offers versatility in how business owners can deploy it. People can install it in gyms, retail stores, schools, and dozens of other locations. It’s highly durable, which gives customers good value and a long-lasting product. Rubber also provides some cushioning, making it comfortable for standing and working.

At Greatmats, we offer heavy-duty rubber flooring that’s ideal for use in the most severe conditions. We also have thinner, highly affordable products that can cover a large space for a reasonable cost per square foot without sacrificing durability. Products with colored flecks or solid colors other than black are also available.

Commercial-grade rubber flooring may seem like a basic, boring material, but there’s nothing simplistic about the premium products we offer for a great price at Greatmats.

Types and Styles of Commercial Rubber Flooring

You can select among several different types of commercial rubber floor formats when installing your new flooring.

Commercial Rubber Floor Tiles

Commercial rubber floor tiles may feature interlocking edges that allow them to fit together tightly without needing to use glue. It’s easy for DIYers to install these tiles themselves. You can also select flat-edge tiles that require gluing to the floor.

Commercial Rubber Flooring Rolls

Commercial rubber flooring rolls usually consist of thin rubber that remains highly resistant to damage. When you don’t need maximum thickness to protect the subfloor from heavy items, rolls are a good choice, such as for an office environment.

Commercial Rubber Floor Mats

At a fitness center where weightlifting will be occurring, you may want to install commercial rubber floor mats. These usually are extremely thick pieces of rubber that can be used alone or as a secondary option over the top of a thinner rubber roll in areas where you need extra protection.

Commercial Rubber Flooring Q&A

What is the best rubber flooring for a commercial gym?

The best rubber flooring for a commercial gym depends on the types of exercises that will be occurring in the gym. Thicker materials are necessary for weight rooms and heavy workout equipment. Rubber up to 3/4 of an inch is ideal for free weights, while products as thin as 1/4 of an inch are useful for general workouts.

Is rubber flooring good for veterinary clinics?

Using rubber flooring in veterinary clinics is a good choice. It’s durable and easy to clean, making it ideal for use around all sizes of animals. This material also provides shock absorption and cushioning compared to a hard floor, which is beneficial for workers who are on their feet most of the day and animals that are recovering from leg and hip injuries.

Why do my commercial playground tiles leave black marks on skin and clothes?

Commercial playground tiles can leave black marks on clothing and skin in certain situations. If the tiles consist of recycled rubber tires, the materials may have a black pigment used in tire manufacturing. Pressure washing the tiles on a low setting can reduce the frequency of the black marks.

Why do you need roof walkway matting?

Building owners may need roof walkway matting when they’re installing a rooftop garden, creating a rooftop patio, or adding solar panels. Rubber mats also give people who are working on the roof a safe place to walk without worrying about slipping or falling through the membrane.

Can you cover a wheelchair ramp with rubber?

Covering a wheelchair ramp with rubber makes it safer by providing a non-slip surface. Rubber can stand up to constant traffic from wheels without showing damage or wear. Rubber wheelchair ramps tend to work better when installed indoors. PVC plastic is a better material to use on a ramp outdoors.
