Rubber surfacing will often come with richly textured surfaces, which paired with the materials natural friction, will aid in keeping dentists and dental assistants firmly on their feet.
Educational Facilities

Ice Skating Rinks
Rubber isn’t just durable and resilient—it also offers excellent subfloor protection. Employing thick rubber surfacing around a skating rink will protect both equipment as well as the original flooring structure beneath.
Janitorial Services
Along with those bright yellow wet-floor warning signs, you can also have janitors employ rubber work mats on top of wet subfloors in order to help prevent falls. These mats are also available as runners that can be custom cut and come in a seamless length of up to 50 ft.
Kennels (Animal Housing)
Whether it’s residential, commercial, or for industrial caging—rubberized industrial floor coverings are a highly durable solution for animal housing applications.

Nursery (Garden Center, Farm Supply Store)
Corrugated flooring is great for catching debris off the bottom of shoes, helping to keep it from entering inside of buildings. Often, with nurseries and other garden supply stores, dirt and mud is just a part of life! Rubber is a lot easier to clean than carpet and is better suited to withstand damage than most interior flooring structures.
Offices
From cooperate headquarters to smaller business locations; industrial matting can be used to accomplish a professional and polished look on top of floor protection and excellent product durability.
Physical Fitness Clubs (Gyms)
It’s rare for a fitness club to own the building where it’s located. More often than not the club has lease a building, meaning that the protection of subflooring structures is highly important. Expensive repairs may be avoided by utilizing industrial floor coverings throughout the gym. Rubber offers subfloors protection from heavy exercise equipment and weightlifting gear.
Quality Supervision

Protect your concrete floors from chipping, cracking, and scratches, with industrial matting. Rubber will act as a barrier that will help protect the subsurface as well as the dropped item.
X-Ray Technician
In the medical field, there’s nothing quite as important as a steady hand. Employing workshop floor mats can help X-Ray Technicians (or any other sort of healthcare provider) preform their job accurately and efficiently by offering a supportive and slip-resistant surface to stand on.
Yoga Studios
Typically, yoga studios will have hardwood floors and will require students to bring in supple mats upon which to practice. Industrial floor coverings offer many of the same benefits that are sought after with a yoga mat but can easily employ the whole surface of the studio.
Zoos
Rubber work mats, or any other type of rubberized flooring, provides a surface that is so abrasive it inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and can help to stifle bacteria—which will help keep animals healthy.
