Establish 1994
Founded in 1994, Rubber-Cal is a distributor of industrial rubber products. The company provides and inventories a wide range of rubber mats, rubber flooring, sheet rubber, flexible ducting, coir doormats, pavement maintenance parts and other specialty rubber products. Our large inventory and 24-hour fulfillment of stocked products makes us a great partner to agile OEMs and retailers by reducing their need to inventory parts and raw materials. Most of our rubber goods can be purchased in small custom-cut lengths, decreasing both the cost and time of installation and onsite fabrication.

Eco-Conscious Products
Ingrained in our basic philosophy is the mission to offer “Green” products, whenever possible, to industry and consumers alike. Natural, reclaimed and recycled rubbers are not only a practical substitute but also a far more affordable option. Firstly, by using eco-friendly materials like natural and recycled rubber, we help to reduce the presence of non-biodegradable rubber waste in the ecosystem. In the US, there are approximately 245 million tires discarded annually. Our products help reduce the presence of these tires in dumpsites. Secondly, consumers directly benefit from recycled rubber products because they are more affordable than their synthetic counterparts. This has been a distinguishing hallmark that has served Rubber-Cal well over the years. In fact, it is a point of pride for us. Products using eco-friendly recycled rubber, such as our interlocking rubber floor tiles, are very popular with consumers because they offer superior protection and durability at a competitive price.

When it comes to gyms, many people point toward the bench or dumbbells as being the first and most importance piece of gym equipment. In reality, it is easy to forget that flooring should always come first. Before installing any equipment in your workout space, consider the impact such heavy machinery could have on your subfloors. Floors like concrete—although strong—are susceptible to becoming damaged when weights are dropped and machines are in motion.

Rubber flooring is the foundation upon which every other item in your gym rests. Without the impact absorbance and abrasion resistance that rubber mats provide, you will quickly find your subfloors in ruin—and your gym unserviceable. Like how exercise keeps your body in shape, rubber flooring keeps your gym in shape. Thus, if you are building or revamping your gym, rubber floors should always come first.

Rubber floors are also very DIY-friendly. Products such as interlocking rubber mats can be easily installed yourself without any professional help. Each piece fits seamlessly with the others, making rubber mats hassle-free, as well as effective. For other types of rubber flooring—such as rolls of rubber matting—we will even customize your order for you, giving you the precise size and shape of flooring you need to flawlessly execute your project.

Stairways—no matter where they are—pose dangers to their users. This is easy to miss, as most of us use stairs every day without a second thought. But, accidents caused by slippery stairs are much more common than you think! In fact, according to the CDC, over 1 million injuries a year in the U.S. are caused by slips and falls down stairways.

These accidents are easily avoidable! Rubber stair treads are well-known to significantly enhance stairway safety. Of all the materials that naturally enhance traction, rubber is one of the best. After all, most shoe-soles are made of rubber—it keeps people and objects grounded. Plus, our stair treads come equipped with intricately-textured surfaces. While this feature enhances the visual appeal of our step mats, it also performs an important function: it further enhances the amount of traction afforded to the step mats’ users. The ridges and grooves of our stair treads act as additional points for shoe-soles to grip. Compounded with rubber’s inherent traction-enhancing properties, our step mats’ surface-patterns maximize the anti-slip safety of any stairway. Rubber stair treads both look good and function well—a crucial addition to any set of stairs.

Winter is in full-swing. With winter comes rain and snow, which can severely alter the everyday surfaces on which we conduct our regular activities or host special events. Icy or wet conditions are significant safety hazards, as slips and falls can cause devastating bodily harm. According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), falls account for over 8 million hospital visits each year, representing the leading cause of hospital visits overall! With this in mind, it is clear that rubber flooring is more important than ever.

As a material, rubber has a naturally high coefficient of friction. This means that it is outstanding at enhancing traction, especially compared to other flooring materials, such as wood, tile, and concrete. In addition, rubber naturally resists water, which—combined with rubber’s traction-enhancing properties—makes rubber flooring increase traction despite moisture. Thus, even when wet from precipitation or spills, rubber surfacing still minimizes the chances of a slip and fall accident. Non-slip, rubber flooring comes in many varieties. For example, longer walkways—such as ramps—greatly benefit from the installation of a corrugated rubber runner. Larger outdoor areas, such as backyards or patios, become much safer with the use of anti-slip interlocking tiles or rolls of non-slip rubber matting. And in commercial zones, such as restaurant kitchens, slip-resistant rubber flooring can greatly reduce the liability costs that your business incurs. For many reasons, non-slip flooring is a key addition to most residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.

You are invited to visit us at our upcoming trade-shows in 2023. We love going to trade shows because these events are great opportunities to make ourselves known, as well as stay abreast of the latest trends in the many industries to which we cater. It is also the perfect chance for us to meet people who are interested in our products: people like you. While our digital storefront accurately represents all of our products, experiencing these products in-person can give customers a newfound perspective—unobtainable otherwise. These are also opportunities to speak with one of our experts in-person and discuss your project at length. Visit our booth at one of the upcoming trade-shows! Be sure to stay tuned with our storefront newsfeed for more updates regarding any one of our upcoming trade-shows.

2023 National Hardware Show – Las Vegas, NV – Jan 31st–Feb 3rd
Rubber-Cal will exhibit at the 2023 National Hardware Show 9 (NHS) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Preeminent entities in the home-improvement, construction, and DIY sectors will be at this show to learn, educate, and collaborate: professionals attend the NHS every year to get the most up-to-date sourcing, trading, and news in their respective markets.

The NHS has a long history, rooted at the close of the Second World War in 1945. The NHS was established as an event for construction-industry professionals to network and showcase their latest wares. This event was such a success that it has been held every year since then. Now, there are countless exhibits on display on the Las Vegas Convention Center’s show-floor, highlighting innovations in building products, hardware tools, and outdoor-construction materials.

In 2023, the NHS will partner with NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) and NKBA’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show® (KBIS) at Design & Construction Week® at the Las Vegas Convention Center to offer even more buying, selling, and networking opportunities to the hardware and home-improvement communities. The NAHB IBS is the world’s largest annual residential-construction show and is a must-attend event for professionals in the building industry. IBS is produced by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), which represents over 140,000 members and is the voice for policies that prioritize housing.

This upcoming National Hardware Show will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 31st to February 3rd. Rubber-Cal encourages you to visit us at booth SL5105. For free passes into the show, please contact our sales staff prior to the event. Email us at customercare@rubbercal.com.
