This photo from Tarkett Sports shows how choosing the correct flooring with proper installation is critical to your health.  Kensoks specializes in Hardwood sports floors.  F-M Flooring installs rubber, vinyl, and even polymer plastic floors.

Rubber

  • Very durable so it's weight and skate resistant

  •  100% recyclable

  • Requires no coating

  •  Glue down has no chance of sliding or separating

  • Tiles allow simple installation and repairs

  • Rolls have fewer seams

  • Recycled is softer and more porous so it's a little tougher to clean

  • Recycled is less expensive

  • Volcanized is extremely tough

  • Volcanized is non-porous and anti-bacterial
