Rubber as a product was first discovered in 1839 by Charles Good Year an American engineer and from then it has been used in many applications. One of the products that have been best suited made from rubber are rubber mats.

It is because in many instances rubber is used as a safety product and hence mats need to offer that safety to users and they have a cushioning ability and hard-wearing resistance as compared to products like wood, cloth skin, and even iron products.

Rubber matting is used for providing safety to either a door or any flooring surface. Because rubber is quite a durable product and offers flexibility, it is a great product to make rubber mats. Rubber matting are also used for the following applications:

• Anti-slip mats
• Anti-slip flooring
• Anti-fatigue flooring
• Introduces comfortability to feet
• Provide safety to humans
• Provide safety to tools that fall on the ground

Most rubber mats are waterproof except the ones made from recycled Tyre rubbers. Pvc rubber matting is 100% waterproof, and they also offer anti-slip whilst they are wet. Rubber matting is made of recycled tires have some pores hence they are quite porous.

Rubber mats unlike carpets are quite strong and durable hence they are normally used in industrial areas to provide safety. Most workshops, warehouses, factories, gyms, and garages prefer rubber matting because of their strength and resilient to hard-wearing.

The best scientific research has so far not found any link between any rubber products to any cancer-causing cells. Further research is ongoing to put to bed any cancerous-fearing individuals. So far, the benefits of the rubber tiles have so far come in handy in solving human flooring solutions. Any changes in rubber safety will be communicated as it arises.

Rubber flooring is one of the best flooring discoveries ever made in human history as it last longer because of the following characteristics:

• High durability
• Does not crake when somethings fall on it
• High tensile strength
• High thermal conduction

Because rubber has very strong properties it, therefore, translates to lasting longer.

Rubber tiles can either be rough or smooth depending on the desired application. If rubber matting is to be installed in the showroom, it can only be wise to put smooth rubber matting. Workshops and factory one can either put smooth or rough tiles. It should be noted that there are both rough and smooth tiles for different applications.
