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.

Rubber playground tiles are designed to last for years in both indoor and outdoor settings without worry of degradation caused by everyday wear and tear or damaging environmental factors. They are often made of recycled crumb rubber which derives from post-consumer vehicle tires, giving them excellent life in the face of environmental factors and abrasions.

Not only will crumb rubber playground tiles last for years in the face of environmental factors, but they are also resilient against impacts and abrasions. Rubber playground tiles are subjected to constant wear and tear brought on by running and jumping kids while playing. Rubber playground tiles will not remain indented and can essentially “bounce back” to its original form thanks to its low compression set.

The recycled rubber is a highly moisture resistant material which helps keep moisture from seeping into the material until it can be drained. This makes recycled rubber crumb the perfect material for creating outdoor playground surfaces as it is an outdoor friendly material that will resist the permeation of liquids, preventing the growth of degrading microbial byproducts.

Rubber surfacing is waterproof, allowing it to remain a safe, durable, and reliable option for outdoor playground mats. The seams between each interlocking tile allow for effective drainage to prevent moisture from pooling on the playground surface. Interlocking rubber surfacing for playgrounds also offer a waffle-patterned underside to further help drain moisture out from under the playground surface.

The recycled rubber crumb material itself is a highly moisture resistant material which helps keep moisture from seeping into the material until it can be drained. This makes recycled rubber crumb the perfect material for creating an outdoor play surface as it is an outdoor friendly material that is also highly moisture resistant. Due to its excellent moisture resistance, recycled rubber playground tiles are often used outdoors where it may be subjected to frequent precipitation.

Its moisture resistant nature also makes crumb rubber playground tiles non-slip and safe for children to run on without worry of slipping and falling. Rubber’s natural grippy surface is not negatively affected by moisture on its surface and its seams and waffle-patterned underside helps prevent moisture from pooling on the playground surface. Their moisture resistance helps these safe play mats retain their naturally grippy surface even when moisture is present.

You install rubber tiles for a playground by connecting the tiles together with small connector pins through the holes that line the sides of each tile. They can be installed without the use of any adhesives; however, for a permanent or weatherproof installation, a polyurethane-based glue is recommended. A glue installation can only take place on hard surfaces and cannot create a secure installation on surfaces like grass or dirt.

To install interlocking rubber playground tiles, simply connect the tiles together through the holes that line each tile with small plastic connector pins. Continue adding tiles until you have reached the necessary size for the playground. In addition, interlocking rubber playground tiles are generally 3/4" to 3” thick, so it is important to add ramps to the raised edges of the playground surface tiles to prevent tripping hazards as children run onto the playground.

Thanks to their interlocking mechanism, playground tiles offer a customizable sizing option that is fully dependent on the number of tiles used to create the surface. You may further customize your playground surface with the use of a standard utility knife and a straight edge. Make sure the straight edge is something long enough to cover the entire length of the surface being cut to ensure a straight cut all the way across.
