Close Up, Ground View of the Texture of a Corrugated Wide Rib Rubber Runner Mat

Unwanted liquids spill onto our floors in many ways—whether it be at the home or workplace. There’s always the rain, which, even if your floors aren’t exposed to the weather, drags water indoors. There are also spills, leaks, moisture buildups, and other ways for liquids to end up on floors, creating hazardous zones that can seriously injure unsuspecting Samaritans. An area like this needs to have a slip-resistant floor installed in order to be safe. While there are many ways to create a non-slip floor, rubber safety flooring is by far the best option. Since rubber is generally resistant to liquids, it is an excellent option for an anti-slip flooring material. Because rubber is waterproof, removing undesirable liquids from your floors is incredibly easy. Thus, in protecting people from dangerous slip and fall hazards, you are also enhancing the overall cleanliness of your home or workplace—all at an affordable cost to you. Clearly, then, rubber flooring is king when it comes to safety. It is an investment that pays off many times over in the long run. The following is a list of five common places where rubber anti-slip flooring is implemented:

Kennels

Ah, kennels—the places to which we send our dogs, cats, and other four-legged creatures either as a necessity or as punishment. Perhaps your dog ate your tax forms. Or perhaps it’s just its bedtime. Whatever the case, kennels are an indispensable element of pet ownership. However, water spills from doggy bowls; paws drag in mud; and fur gets everywhere. You get the picture. As useful as kennels are, they do have their drawbacks. With pets spending so much time in them, kennels inevitably become filthy—and you have to clean it up. That’s where rubber anti-slip flooring comes in. Because rubber is so easy to clean, cleaning your kennel becomes equally as easy when you resurface it with rubber safety matting. In addition to enhanced cleanliness, anti-slip flooring also makes kennels safer for both humans and animals to traverse. With a liquid mess accumulating, the last thing you would want is to slip and fall onto your lovely pet.

Equine Stalls

Some say that the responsibility of owning a pet rivals that of raising a child. If that’s the case, then what about owning a horse? They need to be bathed, watered, and fed regularly—producing copious amounts of mud and liquid that ultimately compile on the floors of the stall. But, with all that muck having built up on the stall floors, slips and falls become jarring hazards. Here, the solution is simple: rubber anti-slip flooring. Because rubber has a naturally high coefficient of friction, it is the ideal material for anti-slip flooring. Rubber safety mats are effortless to clean, too. While your non-slip tiles protect you, your horse, and other stall-workers from injury, anti-slip flooring also makes it so that, the next time you need to clean the stall, it will be as easy as it is safe.

Basements

Basements are the ultimate multi-purpose space, competing only with garages when it comes to application flexibility. You might opt to put your laundry room in your basement. Perhaps you are turning it into the much-coveted mancave. Regardless how you choose to convert this space, some time or another, the space’s resulting function will likely have water spilling onto its floor. Possibly the best place in your home for anti-slip flooring, basements can be hazards if the proper precautionary measures aren’t taken. Install flooring that is non-slip. Rubber, of course, is the best material for securing your footing. In addition, because rubber is so easy to clean, anti-slip flooring makes any unwanted spill an effortless clean-up job.

Outdoor Walkways

Outdoor walkways are everywhere—from restaurants to businesses, from homes to gyms. Unfortunately, they are not always safe, especially when they are wet from rain, snow, or spills. When these surfaces accumulate water, they can become dangerous slip and fall hazards, threatening to punish any misstep. Fortunately though, we at Rubber-Cal are here to help. Because rubber is naturally slip- and water-resistant, it is the best material for flooring intended to combat the dangers of wet surface. With rubber safety flooring installed on your successful business’s outdoor walkway, you are better guaranteeing that your clients are safer as they go in and out of your offices. Furthermore, the gesture of installing rubber non-slip matting itself can greatly improve the perception your guests have of you and your business, which never hurts. Rubber-Cal offers many products that fulfill this need—from outdoor non-slip tiles to outdoor safety matting, we have it all!

Indoor Walkways

Indoor walkways do not contend with rain or snow, but this does not mean that they are completely free from the dangers of slipping and falling. Instead, indoor walkways fall victim to another set of slip-inducing variables altogether. Mud and grease tracked in by boots—faulty plumbing leaking amok—these are just some of the many culprits that could possibly ruin someone’s day. With this in mind, anti-slip flooring remains important as ever, enhancing the safety of the indoor walkways of your home or business. Additionally, because rubber is so easy to clean, it makes sense for indoor applications. While you keep you and your guests safe, you are also keeping your indoor environments clean.

Your Question: What is the Most Slip-Resistant Flooring?

As you can see, there are a host of everyday places to which non-slip floors are applicable. As far as materials go, you have a few options. But, as we have shown, rubber is the best material available for anti-slip flooring. Rubber provides fantastic traction. Mats and tires are often made of rubber for this reason alone. Unlike other materials used for anti-slip flooring, rubber is also effortless to clean. Furthermore, some companies, such as Rubber-Cal, offer their anti-slip floors in different colorways—as you keep your surfaces safe from the dangers of slipping, you’re also matching the décor of the room or outdoor area. A rubber slip-resistant floor is essential for any place that sees liquid, mud, or grease on its floors. Flooring safety is a must. Don’t wait for the danger to come. Be proactive—prevent slips and falls from happening in the first place.
