Rubber flooring was once only used for restaurants but is quickly gaining in popularity with every-day homeowners. Some of the biggest advantages to most families is how easy rubber floors are to clean along with their incredible slip resistance. Rubber flooring is also very soft and easy to walk on while at the same time being highly durable and able to withstand even the roughest families.
Available in a very wide range of colors, styles, and patterns rubber kitchen flooring will not fade due to the consistency of the color through-out the entire material. With how easy it is to maintain and how resilient it is to damage and abuse rubber flooring will be around as long as you own your home and more then likely even past that. With all of the many benefits of rubber flooring just one more that is always important to mention is how easy it is on the wallet so it will not break your budget.
Rubber is available in tile and sheets and for a little bit more as interlocking tiles which make installation easier. Not the easiest thing in the world to install but not beyond the realm of something an experienced do-it-yourself would be able to do. Perfect for installation around any area of the kitchen where it is likely to be spilled on by grease, water, or any other type of liquid.
Positives:
-Highly durable
-A snap to take care of
-Easy on knees and feet
Cons:
-Can be difficult to find a good place to purchase rubber flooring as compared to the more common flooring materials. This is going to be changing fast though because of how quickly rubber flooring is gaining in popularity. Make sure you buy the type of rubber flooring that has been specially coated to resist grease.
Ranging from between $3-4 dollars a square foot plus installation which is not a bad price by itself but then when you add in the many benefits it becomes a great deal. Installation will vary greatly because some areas lack an installer with a lot of experience dealing with rubber flooring. When you combine how long it will last with its natural slip resistance and ease of maintenance you have a great option for many of today’s family.
