Van rubber flooring can either be used as the sole lining for a van, or, it can be used as a base to go under vehicle carpet. It can cover up old flooring, too, and will offer a slip resistant surface. There are so many reasons why rubber makes for a great van lining material.
The Benefits of Using Rubber As A Van Lining Material
- It’s relatively easy to clean, scrub, and disinfect. Rubber is a breeze to clean using one of many different methods. It can be swept, vacuumed, hosed off, and scrubbed using a dish soap and warm water solution.
- Rubber is portable and simple to install. When it comes in the form of mats, they are typically heavy enough to be placed where you want them in the van, and they should then stay in place. Other mats have interlocking seams, so they will fit together like pieces of a puzzle do. Those also stay tightly together. They are, however, easy to pick up and move.
- They are made to last. Although plywood is often used as van lining, it can splinter, split, and even rot. Plastic is sometimes used, also, but it can rip or become slippery. Rubber, on the other hand, is much more durable and quite forgiving. It will not crack, chip, or break like other flooring solutions may. It also has a long lifespan, so it offers an excellent value.
- Unwanted visitors don’t like rubber. Pests and rodents do not feed on rubber, and they can’t use rubber as nesting material. So, rubber does a pretty good job keeping rodents and pets at bay.
- Rubber is safe and healthy. It’s slip resistant, non-toxic, and many options are low odor.
- Rubber is quite comfortable. It’s true that unlike plywood and cheap vehicle carpet, rubber is insulative and offers cushioning.
- Rubber will do an amazing job protecting plush van carpet or other surfaces from dirty shoes, muddy boots, construction tools, groceries, and more.
- Rubber is relatively easy to cut for a perfect, custom fit using a sharp utility knife.
- Rubber comes in many types, sizes, and is available in different thicknesses. There are also options to suit just about any budget.
