Rubber floors

2007.03.14.rubberfloors.jpg What is your nursery floor made of? Yesterday, we would have assumed either a hardwood floor or carpeting, but perhaps these are a third option.

These cool tiles are made of rubber. Maybe you have seen them in schools and indoor playgrounds, but it never occured to us before how interesting they might be in a kid's bedroom - maybe because until today, we had no idea about the range of colours that they come in.

We also had no idea that all they need, maintenance-wise, is a bit of sweeping and the occasional wash. Call us lazy, but we do love a floor that requires virtually no effort to maintain.

Both the Circular and Square patterns are $6.85/s.f. Whatdo you think? Is it cool, or weird to put a rubber floor down in a nursery?

Weird and cool? Maybe both.

i have considered them for our house. but the question that scratches my mind is - how does one tackle the cleaning - cleaning every square, and circle - now that is tedious

Now I'm kind of sad I didn't know/think about this before I chose Flor. Although, I have to agree with BBaas, I've seen this stuff used before, and the recessed parts do seem to stay dirty at the edges.

I like them (especially the orange ones) but seems kind of pricey for flooring?
