Types
-
Not all rubber flooring tiles are made the same. Interlocking tiles have joints similar to that of a drawer with the tabs from one fitting into the grooves on another. Tiles for playgrounds are made as thick as 4 inches and are larger than regular tiles which are 12 by 12 inches square and 3/4 inch thick.
Function
-
Rubber flooring tiles are made to be used in areas where another floor would not be able to stand up to intense wear and tare, both in commercial settings and in the home such as health clubs, fitness centers, play rooms, home gyms, ice rinks, basements, garages, roofs, pool areas and warehouses.

Features
-
Rubber flooring tiles are eco-friendly, with many manufacturers using recycled rubber. They are slip resistant, and water easily drains away on them. Rubber flooring tiles come in a wide range of colors and different thicknesses. They can be custom-made with any design. Businesses can have their logo on them. The 12-by-12 inch tiles look like the vinyl floor tiles that were popular in the 1950s, but much stronger and easier to walk on. Tiles are designed for playrooms that have the ABCs and fairytale characters, and make the room a place the children will enjoy staying in.
Uses
-
Interlocking tiles are meant to be used in small areas and are not permanently glued to a sub floor. They can be placed on top of a wood floor without damaging it. Playground tiles are used in outdoor play grounds and under swing sets. They offer much more protection than any other surface. They are also used on decks and roofs. Regular 12-by-12 inch tiles are the ones used for most home applications.
Misconceptions
-
When people hear rubber floor tiles, they think of black or gray industrial flooring. While you would not use it in your living room, rubber floor tiles come in enough colors and patterns to make the other areas of your home safe and attractive. And they will not be damaged by water outdoors or in the garage.
