Advantages of rubber floor coverings
Robust, resistant to moisture, wear, gasoline, oils and thorns, the rubber roll flooring has become widespread as a floor covering for garages.
Having an increased density, it is not afraid of heavy loads, it is easy and fast to fit, it is conveniently fastened.
Coating flooring technology:
- Prepare the substrate. To do this, the floor is cleaned of dirt and dust, remove all unnecessary and primed with a mixture of turpentine and polyurethane glue. One square meter requires 300 grams of the mixture. The ingredients are mixed in equal parts;
- After drying the primer, the material is rolled over a flat surface of the floor. On the floor there are no hillocks, because under the weight of its weight, the coating instantly expands. It should lie down for a few days, and only then it can be glued;
- Fix with polyurethane adhesive, evenly applying it to the surface of the material. You can apply glue only at the junctions.
The finished floor is well maintained. It protects the car from corrosion, the appearance of which causes dampness.
Rubber floor coverings for the garage are available in rolls with a width of 120 cm and in the form of tiles. They have different thicknesses from 0.4 cm to 4 cm.
The thickness varies from 4 mm to 40 mm. All of them are available in a wide range of colors and are made from environmentally friendly components.

The floor rubber coating has many advantages:
- High wear resistance and resistance to aggressive media. They are not afraid of atmospheric temperature fluctuations, exposure to acids and alkalis, ultraviolet radiation;
- Water permeability. Do not be afraid of water, they can be washed directly from the hose;
- Sound absorption;
- Anti-vibration properties;
- Anti-slip properties, which provides increased comfort when walking;
- Environmentally friendly.
Rubber crumb floorings are a product of tire recycling.
They consist of rubber chips, polyurethane glue and mineral pigment dyes.
How are they made?
Rubber floor coverings are made from rubber pellets that are obtained from recycled tires from cars.
Worn tires are mechanically ground.
This is done in several stages, with each subsequent stage the particle diameter is crushed.
The result is a raw material for the production of floor coverings.
This technology was developed in the USA.
In order to utilize worn-out car tires, the technology for the production of special pellets has been invented. They began to make floor covering on a rubber basis.
Such production is quite simple. The crumb is mixed on special equipment with a polyurethane binder.

To add a final look to the coating, tinted pastes are added to the mixture. After that, the mixture is pressed.
The finished rubber flooring is very aesthetic, it can be made in a variety of colors and shapes, with a very flat surface and without any seams.
Manufacture of rubber floor coverings is made of automobile tires, which are made of the most durable rubber.
It is resistant to acids and alkalis, elastic, strong to bend and stretch, long does not wear out.
Because during use car tires must be subjected to huge loads, only high quality, expensive components are used for their production.
And although the tires wear over time, the quality of their material remains at an altitude.
Its performance properties allow mechanical cleaning.
You can also use a rubber modular floor covering with the same performance characteristics for the garage floor.
Modular tile laid without the use of adhesives, since it is available with special fasteners.
Where to buy and what prices?
This quality material will remain in its unchanged form for decades.
It has an affordable price and is an excellent alternative to concrete floor.
The rubber is comfortable to move around, because it has a low level of slip, and falling on it, it's hard to get hurt, since the floor is very soft.
Buy a floor rubber cover for your garage and make it comfortable and convenient, thanks to a super-modern coating, it is quite inexpensive.
It is better to pay attention to the gray or black color of the material, so that less dirt is visible.
The price of rubber floor coil, which has a thickness of about 0, 5 cm per square meter is about 400 p.
This thickness is sufficient if there is a car in the garage.
Thicker materials are required for those garages where there are heavier machines, and in these places is quite intensive operation.
The maximum thickness of roll coatings is 0.6 mm.
If you decide to buy a thicker, you will need a modular tile, but the price of rubber floor coverings of modular type, having a thickness of more than 1 cm, is higher.

The larger the thickness of rubber, the higher the cost.
The only drawback of roll coatings is that if you slightly damage the floor, you will have to change the whole strip.
