Frequently Asked Questions

Why does rubber flooring smell?

These compounds, along with processing agents, adhesives, and the type of rubber used, contribute to the initial smell. Ventilation, sunlight and time usually help dissipate the odor.

With environmental friendliness and easy installation, rubber flooring is a practical option for diverse settings.

3. Can I install rubber flooring on concrete?

Yes, you can install rubber flooring directly on a concrete surface. Ensure the concrete is clean and level before applying the rubber flooring using the recommended installation method, such as gluing or interlocking. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for a proper installation.

4. How can I install the rubber flooring myself?

Installing rolls of rubber flooring is simple and DIY-friendly. With basic tools like a utility knife, straightedge, and tape measure, you can undertake the installation.
