Kummipõrandad

Kummipõrandad, also known as rubber flooring, are a type of resilient flooring made primarily from natural or synthetic rubber. They are known for their durability, shock-absorbent qualities, and slip resistance. These characteristics make them a popular choice for a variety of applications, ranging from residential to commercial and industrial settings.

The manufacturing process of kummipõrandad typically involves combining rubber with various fillers, pigments, and binders. These materials are then pressed or molded into sheets, tiles, or other desired shapes. The surface texture can vary, from smooth to patterned, often designed to enhance grip. Common types include homogeneous and heterogeneous rubber flooring, differing in their construction and wear layers.

Kummipõrandad offer several advantages. Their inherent elasticity provides comfort underfoot and can help reduce noise. They are also resistant to many chemicals and stains, making them easy to maintain and clean. This resilience also contributes to their longevity, as they can withstand heavy foot traffic and impact.

Due to these properties, kummipõrandad are frequently found in gyms, sports facilities, hospitals, schools, playgrounds, and industrial workshops. In residential settings, they might be used in basements, garages, or playrooms. The environmental impact of rubber flooring is also a consideration, with many products made from recycled rubber materials, contributing to sustainability efforts. Installation methods vary depending on the product type, but often involve adhesives or interlocking systems.
