What Kind of Tile is Best for Floors?
Rubber modular floor tiles are the best interlocking tiles available for temporary flooring options. Our modular floor tiles do not sacrifice durable protection for the sake of easy handling. In fact, they combine the two together. Each of our interlocking tiles is made of a variety of rubber, most commonly natural and recycled rubbers. Rubber is a durable material that is ideal to use as flooring because it can withstand physical abrasions and repel the harmful effects of moisture. Recycled rubber, in particular, features an enhanced degree of resistance to damaging UV rays, making recycled rubber interlocking mats ideal for outdoor applications like playground flooring. Rubber tiles guard existing floors such as wood from any damage that may occur from high volumes of foot traffic or the weight of heavy objects. Water will also have a hard time damaging modular floor tiles made from rubber because it cannot seep into the material and form any mold or cause any lasting damage. Rubber resists the formation of organic byproducts. It is hard to find the level of superior flooring protection that our rubber modular floor tiles provide in such an easy and portable package.
