Differences between plates and rubberized rollers


In the field of flooring, rubber plates and rollers are two popular options, each with specific features and uses. Rubber tiles are available in various sizes and are often used in high traffic areas such as residential complexes, residential complexes OR residential projects. They offer a robust and durable solution, ideal for commercial or industrial premises. Rubber rollers, on the other hand, are more flexible and are perfect for areas where continuous coverage is required, such as in gyms or children’s play areas.

One of the main advantages of rubber plates it is the ease with which they can be installed and maintained. They can be easily cut using professional tools, such as hardware for milling support layers, which we frequently use within RATGROUP SRL. The tiles also offer a variety of textures and colors, allowing for customization of the space. Rolls, while easier to install under certain conditions, may require a more complex cutting and mounting process, which can lead to material loss.

With regard to durability and wear resistancerubber tiles tend to have an advantage. They are designed to resist bumps and scratches, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. For example, I recently did a project for Mercedes Benz car dealership Monacowhere we used rubber tiles to ensure a durable and aesthetic floor. Rollers, while durable, may deteriorate more quickly in high-traffic areas.

Installation and maintenance costs vary significantly between the two options. Rubber tiles may have a higher initial cost due to the price of the premium materials we use, such as those of LET IT GO OR Wakol. However, given their durability, long-term costs may be lower. Rollers may seem more convenient initially, but their maintenance can become expensive over time, especially when exposed to harsh conditions.

Aesthetics is another important aspect when choosing between tiles and rolls. Rubber tiles offer a wide range of design options, including different textures and colors. This makes them ideal for new homeswhere owners want to create a personalized environment. Rollers, on the other hand, come in a limited palette of colors and textures, which can limit your design options.

Acoustic performance of rubber flooring is another important factor. Rubber tiles tend to provide superior sound insulation due to their thickness and solid construction. This makes them ideal for new apartments or new homes where sound may be a problem. Rolls can provide decent sound insulation, but not as effective as tiles.

The environmental impact of the materials used in plates and rolls is an increasingly discussed topic. Rubber sheets made from recycled materials are available on the market and can help reduce your carbon footprint. At RATGROUP SRL we strive to use materials that comply with ecological standards, such as those provided by Gerfloor. Rolls can often contain chemicals that are not environmentally friendly, making them a less advantageous choice in this respect.

The flexibility and adaptability of rubber tiles are evident in various environments. They can be used both indoors and outdoors, being ideal for terraces or commercial spaces. Rollers are less versatile and are often limited to indoor use.

The installation process differs significantly between tiles and rolls. Tile installation requires a higher level of precision and may involve the use of specialized equipment such as professional sanders Columbus. Rollers are easier to install, but may require additional adjustments to perfectly fit your desired space.

When it comes to choosing between tiles and rolls it is essential to consider the type of space. For example, for one residential complexwhere pleasing aesthetics and durability are desired, rubber tiles could be the ideal choice. Conversely, for a commercial space where flexibility is key, roller blinds may be more suitable.

We have had the opportunity to work on various projects with rubber sheets and rollers. A notable example is our collaboration with Caverion Deutschland GmbHwhere we used rubber tiles to create a durable and aesthetic floor in a commercial space. I have also done work for roller blinds Passau County Hospitalwhere we needed a quick and efficient solution.

Recent innovations in rubber sheet and roller technology have led to significant improvements in durability and acoustic performance. Manufacturers constantly invest in research and development to offer products that meet the demands of the modern market.

Maintenance of rubber floors is essential to ensure their longevity. We recommend using specific cleaning products, such as those offered by Wakolto avoid damage to the material. It is also important to avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the integrity of the floor.

Testing and certifying the quality of rubber sheets and rollers is essential to guarantee product compliance with international standards. We at RATGROUP SRL make sure that all the materials used are certified and tested to offer our customers the best solutions.

The right choice of rubber flooring largely depends on the specific needs of each customer. Whether you opt for tiles or rolls, it’s important to consider aspects such as durability, long-term costs and aesthetics.
