Benefits of rubber flooring
Basement flooring faces three significant water damage risks – groundwater seeping through it, flood water coming over it, and humidity attacking it from all sides. Fortunately, rubber is immune to these. However, some wetness can still move through the edges of the rubber tiles or sheets, causing the underneath concrete slab to wick up moisture due to its porous nature. That’s why our team may add a vapor barrier under the rubber surface. Also, humidity is a breeding ground for mold and mildew. With rubber flooring, you can control the mold spread.
Whether you use the basement for recreation, office purposes, or something else, the flooring can be at risk of puncture or breakage. Staining is also a headache. Rubber flooring can efficiently resist all these effects. Even after flooding, we can restore this material. Comfort, easy cleaning, softness, and long-lastingness are some other advantages.
