Rubber flooring for the boy scouts

There’s so many ways that rubber flooring can be utilised these days. We all know that they used to be the flooring choice for factories, but rubber flooring in the modern world is used for everything from boy scout hideaways through to modern apartments.

Architectural company, Gensler, recently produced the EcoCabin (perfect for cub scouts). A cabin-in-a-box solution using… wait for it…shipping containers. Yup, the shipping containers have been turned into small buildings to populate the LA boy scouts movement. Ensuring that the boisterous lads didn’t slip over or ruin the flooring, the automatic solution for their flooring needs was rubber flooring. A long lasting, attractive flooring option, the company realised that it would prove to be low maintenance and long lasting.

And it’s not just the Americans that appreciate good vinyl flooring. Townends estate agent down in Hounslow have recently won a contract to refurbish a new development of high end apartments. According to website My Introducer while the agents opted for neutral carpeting for the lounge and bedrooms, the immediate option for kitchens and bathrooms was vinyl flooring.

Gyms have also stepped up their game by introducing rubber flooring to their establishments. The main reason for the increased uptake of vinyl flooring is down to cost and ease of use. Not only is rubber flooring extremely cost effective but it’s also durable and easy to keep clean making it the ideal flooring option for anywhere that has constant foot traffic.
