RECYCLED VS. VULCANIZED RUBBER
Experienced operators and managers know that flooring is as critical as the equipment you place on top of it. Sports flooring has evolved into a primary way for a club to differentiate itself within the market. Grid’s product offerings of either recycled or vulcanized rubber provide options that fit all performance and aesthetic requirements in your space.
Recycled rubber, like Grid’s REFLEX series, is upcycled from post-consumer rubber materials, creating an affordable flooring surface with excellent force reduction. Vulcanized rubber flooring, check out our VULCAN series, is a premium choice that features a non-porous, highly durable solution and elevated look.
Below details each of Grid’s rubber flooring offerings – take a look at our flooring options page to determine what products are recommended for specific areas in your facility.
