There are multiple reasons why you may be looking for concrete floor coverings. One reason to cover a concrete surface is to protect it from damage such as, cracking, chipping, or scratching. While another reason may be because the flooring structure has already sustained this sort of damage and as a result is unsightly and even dangerous. Whatever the case may be, with so many surfacing options available, you may be having a difficult time making a decision. Concrete resurfacing is one option, but it’s time-consuming and can be quite expensive. On the other hand, completely replacing your concrete is a lot more expensive and will take a much longer time. Textured rubber flooring offers a much more convenient and affordable solution. From diamond plate rubber to corrugated rubber, this material is available in a wide verity of interesting and practical designs. Coin rubber flooring, like the rest of these textured options, is available in rolls that come in seamless lengths of up to 50 ft. and can be custom cut for specific requirements. Of course there are also have individual mats and for some options even interlocking tiles.
This resilient material has a lot more to offer than just good looks! Durability, ease of installation, and affordability, are just a few reasons why rubber is the best option when it comes to concrete floor coverings. Take a look at all the benefits that textured rubber flooring can offer your heavy-duty floors:

The Benefits of Using Textured Rubber Flooring
- The Benefits of a Textured Surface
- Slip-Resistance—When moisture is present, the potential for slip-and-fall accidents greatly increases. This danger is even more prevalent upon a smooth surface, such as hardwood, tile, linoleum, and of course even concrete. Coin rubber flooring, like the other textured designs, offers a surface that adds grip and traction, which can help keep people on their feet. And because rubber is resistant to water and designed to preform well in abrasive conditions, you wont have to worry water damage.
- Traction—Not to be confused with slip-resistance, though it does play a part in aiding to prevent slip-and-fall accidents, traction can also help to prevent falls even when moisture isn’t a factor. Rubber has a naturally high coefficient of friction, which actively works to create a surface that reacts and bonds with the soles of shoes (as well as many other things). This can be highly useful in places that see high foot-traffic, where people may be liable to bump or push into each other. Likewise, a richly textured surface, like diamond plate rubber, when employed on an incline ramp will help individuals keep steady footing even if they’re pushing something up or when they don’t have a clear line of sight.
Aesthetic Qualities-Textured rubber flooring is useful, but it’s also very aesthetically pleasing. For example, consider diamond plate rubber, which mimics a classic and beloved design. On the other hand, a raised coin surface offers something more modern. Regardless of the aesthetic requirements, the conformity of a textured design is a great way to bring a room together adding a touch of flair while also keeping a professional appearance—especially in an industrial type setting.
A Durable Option
Corrugated rubber, like diamond and coin surfacing, is designed to withstand abrasive treatment. Because these flooring options are often meant to be employed in the heavy-duty environments of industrial settings, it’s highly important that the material be able to stand up to demanding applications, like heavy foot-traffic, dropped items, and the support of heavy equipment. The point of using concrete floor coverings is so that they takes the brunt of whatever harsh conditions you’ll be exposing them to, as opposed to your concrete suffering potential or continuous damage.
Nearly Carefree Maintenance
Unlike other flooring options that may need polishing or special cleaning and treatments, a rubber surface requires minimal upkeep. To keep your rubber surface in tip-top shape you’ll need little more than a broom to sweep away debris and if needed a damp mop to wipe away dirt, muck, and grime. Rubberized concrete floor coverings will also boast a resistance to water, which means that excessive moisture will not result in the growth of mold and mildew.
A DIY Option
Coin rubber flooring, like the rest of the textured surfacing choices, comes in rolls which makes it an astoundingly easy to install flooring option. Whether it’s the diamond plate rubber or the corrugated rubber—this roll out surfacing option is available in continuous lengths of up to 50 ft. making it easy to cover a larger space. However, rolls aren’t the only option. Individual mats and interlocking tiles can be used to protect smaller and oddly shaped locations, ensuring that nearly any space can be afforded the many excellent qualities of a rubberized floor. And because this textured rubber flooring doesn’t require heavy-duty adhesives, it will be easy to install and remove should it ever need replacement—or should you ever decide to reuse it in another location.
