Designers and architects designing for educational spaces are increasingly gravitating toward rubber flooring options. School flooring manufactured out of rubber materials offers a number of incredible benefits, from aesthetic appeal to practical utility, and greatly enhances the learning experiences of students.
Schools are multipurpose spaces, holding not only classrooms, but gymnasiums, cafeterias, offices, and labs. Furthermore, schools are often used before classes begin and after they end to hold community programs. Knoveo Rubber Flooring meets the multiple needs of a school building.
Rubber floors are durable
Desks are shifted, chairs are pushed in and out, and feet scuffle across the floors in a typical school. The flooring inside the school must withstand students’ constant hustle and bustle. Rubber floors, being incredibly durable, are manufactured to resist impact even under heavy foot traffic.
Rubber floors are highly resilient and therefore endure for years. The elasticity of rubber is further enhanced by a polyurethane binding agent. Additionally, rubber floors are resistant to chemicals, such as those found in a school laboratory. Unlike some flooring materials, rubber does not decay or rot.
When installed in a school gym withstand the impact from equipment as well as students during athletic games and practice. Rubber floors do not shrink, crack, or expand. The toughness of rubber flooring ensures that it retains its functionality and appearance over a long period of time.
