What is Rubber Flooring?
Rubber flooring is a type of coating obtained by modifying the structure of rubber compounds through vulcanization, incorporating fillers and pigments. Rubber flooring provides an aesthetic appearance and creates a suitable surface for walking and running. It is a coating resistant to microbial growth, water, moisture, and chemicals.
Rubber flooring is a material used for both walls and floors. It is used in places requiring high abrasion resistance and an aesthetic look. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, it is ideal for walking safety. It is a coating type that does not harbor microbes and is resistant to chemical substances and water.

How Is Rubber Flooring Applied?
Rubber flooring is an easily applicable type of flooring. For the application of rubber flooring in sports areas, a professional team is required to carry out the installation. The floor can be used for many years with proper and healthy application.
For the application of rubber flooring, the floor should be concrete. The concrete floor should be smooth and not damp. Having a level surface prolongs the life of the rubber flooring. After the surface is cleaned from dirt, dust, and roughness, rubber adhesive is placed on the floor, and the rubber is applied on top. Curing occurs within 8 hours.
