When it comes to recycled rubber matting, the density of the rubber plays a crucial role in determining its properties and applications. Here’s a breakdown of the differences between high, medium, and low-density recycled rubber matting:
High-Density Rubber Matting
- Durability: High-density rubber is extremely tough and durable, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or applications requiring significant wear resistance. It can withstand heavy use without tearing or wearing down quickly.
- Strength: It offers high strength making it suitable for demanding environments.
- Applications: Commonly used play areas, playground areas, bakkie mats, equestrian stable matting, horse boxes, walkways, indoor and outdoor gym matting, multisport surfaces, around swimming pool areas, anti-slip matting (wheelchair ramps, stairwells, cold Storage), friction matting for most applications, anti-fatigue flooring and movie sets.
in gym flooring, industrial settings, and areas where heavy machinery is operated due to its resilience and durability.
Medium-Density Rubber Matting
- Balance: Medium-density rubber provides a balance between durability and flexibility. It is less rigid than high-density rubber but still offers good resistance to wear and tear.
- Versatility: It is suitable for general-purpose applications where some level of cushioning is needed, such as in commercial flooring or residential gym areas.
- Cost: Often more cost-effective than high-density options, making it a popular choice for a variety of settings without compromising too much on durability.
- Applications: Commonly used play areas, playground areas, bakkie mats, equestrian stable matting, horse boxes, walkways, indoor and outdoor gym matting, multisport surfaces, around swimming pool areas, anti-slip matting (wheelchair ramps, stairwells, cold Storage), friction matting for most applications, anti-fatigue flooring and movie sets.
Low-Density Rubber Matting
- Flexibility and Cushioning: Low-density rubber is much softer and more flexible, providing excellent cushioning and comfort underfoot. However, it is less durable and can be easily damaged or torn.
- Insulation: It has better thermal insulation properties compared to high-density rubber, which can be beneficial in certain applications.
- Applications: Ideal for areas requiring significant shock absorption, (playgrounds, underneath artificial grass), golf practice mats, acoustic control, landscaping rubber products and movie sets.
In summary, the choice between high, medium, and low-density recycled rubber matting depends on the specific requirements of your application. High-density rubber offers maximum durability and strength, medium density provides a balance of durability and flexibility, and low-density offers superior cushioning and insulation but at the expense of durability.
Difference between Roll mats and On-Site Installation
Recycled rubber roll mats and on-site installation recycled rubber matting both offer sustainable and environmentally friendly flooring options. The main difference between the two lies in their installation types and applications.
Recycled rubber roll mats are pre-cut and rolled mats that are typically installed as a DIY project. These roll mats are easy to install and can be rolled out over existing surfaces, making them a quick and cost-effective option for covering large areas like gym floors, play areas, or garage floors.
On-site installation recycled rubber matting, on the other hand, involves fitting recycled rubber directly on the site where the flooring will be installed. This type of installation provides a seamless and custom-fit solution, perfect for irregularly shaped areas or where a more professional finish is desired.
In summary, recycled rubber roll mats are convenient for quick and easy installations, while on-site installation recycled rubber matting offers a more customized and professional finish tailored to specific project requirements.
