Rubber Tiles Keep Your Family Safe

The safety of your loved ones along with your own should always be the one of the highest priorities of every homeowner. When it comes to choosing a flooring material which can provide that safety not all options are created equal. However, there is one which excels above all the others, rubber tiles. While they have a multitude of traits which make them such a phenomenal product there are 3 which help them to surpass the competition with ease.

Grip

Grip is essential for preventing slips and falls and this is one area in which rubber tiles are unmatched in the world of flooring whether indoors or out. They use a tough textured rubber grip to keep you on your feet and out of harm's way especially in areas where other options and materials could be extremely dangerous. This is often the case when there is water or dampness involved. Many types of tile and many times concrete and cement as well can become very, very slippery which is not something you want to expose your family and especially small children to. Luckily not only does rubber tile provide superb grip it can do so no matter how wet the circumstances may be. This is because of the fact that manufacturers have intelligently addressed this common problem of almost all flooring of becoming slippery when wet by making the body of rubber tiles porous. Being porous means that water will naturally flow through the body of the tile and out the bottom, leaving no water on the face of the tile and allowing for maximum gripping power thus protecting your family no matter how much it is raining or how wet the area is. It is because of this that rubber tiles are so commonly used by swimming pool owners and clubs worldwide.

Softness

Preventing slips and falls from occurring in the first place is the job of the tiles' grip, but providing a soft place to land if they do happen is the job of the rubber itself. As it absorbs almost all of the impact along with being flexible and soft, rubber tile also prevents major injuries. Falling on concrete, tile, and even wood can lead to an unexpected and extremely expensive trip to the emergency room, and one which no one, especially parents ever wants to deal with. Unlike with a harder surface, a fall on rubber tiles normally will only lead to a bruised ego. It is this trait of buffering the body against what otherwise could be a serious injury along with its grip that not only makes these great tiles such a perfect option around swimming pools where there is water, running, jumping, and playing, but also for around children's backyard play areas and swing sets where many of the same activities take place. And each and every accident and injury that they prevent for young children makes them worth their weight in gold as falling down is part of being a kid and as every parent knows is inevitable no matter how much grip there is.

Value

As rubber tiles keep kids from crying (for the most part) they tend to keep adults smiling knowing how much hard earned cash they saved in purchasing them. Other than pricey doctor's bills, they save you money in a few other ways too! Right off the bat they save you a huge installation fee as you would almost always have to pay with virtually any other type of flooring. This is because rubber tiles are interlocking. They are so easy to put together that anyone can do it no matter how young or old and in only a matter of minutes after taking them out of the box. Even better is that they don't require any messy adhesives or troublesome grout. And because they can be laid down on virtually any surface even if it is not totally flat, you save even more money not having to rip out or remove your patio, deck, or cement slab. Just simply lay them down right on top interlock them, and you're done! They can even be put down right on top of your lawn. The choice is yours!

As you can see, rubber floor tiles are not only extremely functional, but versatile, and economical as well. Not only will they help protect the people you care about most rain or shine but keep your wallet full at the same time. And while they might not be ideal for all flooring projects, where they do work, they work way better than the competition on many levels. So keep these fantastic tiles in mind for your next project and stay safe!
