5mm Thick Checker Rubber Flooring

Rubber flooring rolls are a versatile and durable flooring option that can be used in a variety of settings, ranging from gyms and fitness centres to residential spaces and commercial buildings. With their excellent resilience, slip resistance, and easy maintenance, rubber flooring rolls have become a popular choice for those seeking a practical and long-lasting flooring solution. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional installer, this installation guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions to help you achieve a successful and professional-looking installation of rubber flooring rolls in your desired area. By following these guidelines, you can create a safe, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing environment for your space.

1. Pre-installation Preparation

Prepare the area where you intend to install the rubber flooring. This involves removing any furniture, objects, or debris from the space. It's essential to have a clean and clear subfloor to ensure a proper installation. Take the time to inspect the subfloor and ensure it is clean, dry, and free from any bumps or irregularities. Sweep or vacuum the floor to remove dust and dirt. If necessary, clean the subfloor with a suitable floor cleaner and allow it to dry completely.

2. Acclimation

Rubber flooring rolls should be acclimated to the installation environment. Unroll the rubber flooring and allow it to sit in the installation area for at least 48 hours. This allows the material to adjust to the temperature and humidity of the space, reducing the risk of expansion or contraction after installation.

3. Cutting and Fitting

Measure the dimensions of the installation area accurately. Use a straightedge and a utility knife to cut the rubber flooring roll to the required size. It is essential to leave a small gap around the edges to allow for expansion. Trim any excess material to ensure a neat and precise fit.

4. Apply Ultra Adhesive

Spray our Ultra Adhesive evenly to both the rubber flooring and the surface you are attaching the flooring to. Make sure to move the can of glue up and down making a nice uniform coat. Applying the glue one meter at a time will avoid potential waste and to give yourself more time before the glue sets. Leave the glue for 10-20 seconds for the vapour to dissipate before applying the carpet to the surface.

5. Install the flooring

Once the adhesive is applied, carefully roll out the rubber flooring roll onto the adhesive-coated subfloor. Start at one end of the room and gradually unroll the rubber flooring, working your way towards the opposite end. Ensure that the edges of the roll align with the edges of the installation area. Take care to keep the flooring roll straight and avoid any twisting or buckling.

Using a flooring roller, begin at the centre of the unrolled section and gradually work your way towards the edges. Apply even pressure while rolling to ensure good contact between the rubber flooring and the adhesive. This helps to eliminate any air pockets or wrinkles and ensures a secure bond. Repeat this process for the remaining sections of the floor, taking care to maintain a consistent and smooth surface throughout.

6. Finishing Touches

Once the rubber flooring is installed, allow sufficient time for the adhesive to dry and cure. After the adhesive has fully cured, inspect the installation for any visible imperfections or loose edges. Trim any loose edges and clean the floor thoroughly to remove any adhesive residue or debris.

Tips

• Promptly clean up any excess adhesive that seeps out during the installation process. Use a recommended adhesive remover or a damp cloth to remove any adhesive residue before it dries.
• Avoid heavy traffic or placing heavy objects on the flooring until the adhesive has fully cured to ensure a durable and long-lasting installation.
• If you are unsure about any aspect of the installation process or encounter any challenges, it is advisable to seek professional assistance. Professional installers can provide expertise and ensure a successful installation.
• Take accurate measurements of the installation area before cutting the rubber flooring roll. Double-check your measurements to ensure a precise fit and minimize wastage.

Rubber flooring is a popular choice for many residential, commercial and industrial spaces due to its durability, slip resistance, and easy maintenance. To ensure the longevity and appearance of your rubber flooring, follow these care guidelines:

• Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your rubber flooring roll. Sweep or vacuum the floor regularly using a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dirt, dust, and debris. For a more thorough cleaning, damp mop the floor with a mild detergent or a pH-neutral cleaner diluted with water. Avoid using abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the rubber surface. After cleaning, rinse the floor with clean water to remove any cleaning solution residue and ensure it is completely dry.
• To keep your rubber flooring looking its best, promptly clean up any spills or stains. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away liquids and remove solid substances. For tougher stains like grease or oil, use a gentle cleaner specifically designed for rubber flooring. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire floor to avoid any discoloration or damage.
• Regular maintenance is crucial for the overall condition of your rubber flooring. Periodically inspect the floor for any signs of wear, damage, or loose edges. Repair or replace damaged sections promptly to prevent further deterioration. If your rubber flooring has a textured or raised surface, ensure that you clean the crevices thoroughly to prevent the buildup of dirt or grime that can be difficult to remove.
  

By following these simple care instructions, you can help your rubber flooring last for many years to come.
