Vulcanized rubber flooring is bonded under heat and pressure. It’s known for its smooth, durable, and nonporous finish and is resilient for high-traffic areas like gyms and hockey arenas. Vulcanized flooring, however, comes with a higher cost due to these advanced features and finish options.

Unvulcanized rubber is bonded with urethane, not heat, making it a more affordable and eco-friendly option.

In summary, choose vulcanized rubber for areas needing smooth, durable, non-porous, easy-to-clean high-impact flooring and polyurethane bonded recycled rubber for a softer, affordable, Low VOC, eco-friendly option.

New rubber flooring can emit a distinct odor due to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) used in manufacturing. This smell, more noticeable in natural rubber, usually diminishes within a few days to weeks. Ensuring good ventilation helps reduce this odor quickly. For those sensitive to smells, choosing low-VOC or VOC-free rubber flooring is recommended, as these options emit fewer odors and are safer for indoor environments. This initial smell is typically not harmful, and most rubber flooring products are safe for indoor use.

Rubber flooring is durable, comfortable, and sound-absorbing, ideal for high-traffic areas such as playrooms. It’s low-maintenance and comes in various styles. Rubber flooring can also be used in basements, home gyms (moisture-resistant and shock-absorbent), and children’s areas (safe and soft). It offers versatile design options for any space in different formats, like rolls and tiles.

Rubber flooring typically lasts 10 to 20 years, ideal for high-traffic areas. Warranties vary, ranging from 5 to 10 years, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
