Frequently Asked Questions

Why does rubber flooring smell?

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.
