Recycled & Eco-Friendly Flooring

If you're looking for eco-friendly green flooring products for a renovation or new project, we have a large selection from which to choose. Many of the environmentally conscious products we sell are made from recycled tires or PVC. With so many choices, we’re confident there’s something just right for you.

Benefits of Eco Friendly Flooring

Why go green? There are countless reasons. Here are just a few of the advantages of eco friendly flooring:

1. Know that eco friendly tiles are helping to protect our environment for future generations.
   
2. Get Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) points for projects.
   
3. Eco friendly flooring is often ready for recycling in the future, so it will never go to waste.
   
4. Increase the appeal of a project or business by highlighting a dedication to going with environmentally friendly flooring options.

At Greatmats, we believe we have an environmental responsibility to provide sustainable flooring product options to our consumers. Having an old tire used for recycled flooring and an old plastic bottle used in our recycled floor mats keeps these from being wasted.

Our units are as good as or better choices than the Forest Stewardship Council's engineered hardwood flooring for a green building or fiber carpets from sustainable sources.

Rubberized Recycled Floor Tiles

We offer a variety of selections for commercial or eco friendly home gym flooring. It provides the perfect blend of durability, sustainability, and insulation against thermal, noise, and impact conditions. Recycled rubber floor mats are a fire-resistant choice, including for:

1. Residential gymnasiums
   
2. Professional, environmentally friendly gyms
   
3. Equestrian facilities
   
4. Playgrounds
   
5. Building entrances

Eco rubber flooring is an excellent choice for home and professional gyms thanks to its durability and thermal insulation properties. Some natural rubber flooring is thick and dense enough to protect subfloors from dropped weights, and it is frequently used in homes and health clubs.

Eco friendly gym flooring is easy to clean. Using this is a smart way to guard subfloors while being socially responsible. This is more forgiving than concrete or wood flooring, making for more enjoyable workout environments. Interlocking rubberized tiling and rolls are great for both residential and commercial use because they protect floors as well as keep dirt and debris from getting into the equipment.

A tile is often preferred for smaller installations because it is easier to handle, and rolls are practical for larger installations as they leave fewer seams. Regardless of which option is chosen, this eco friendly flooring is a sound investment. There are potentially endless applications for these in equestrian facilities. Our stall matting makes cleaning stalls easier and gives horses extra comfort in their stalls.

Made from previously used vehicle tires and other sources, these are incredibly durable and will last for years in almost any situation.

This is available in various thicknesses and sizes and helps avoid placing the tire in the landfill. In addition, a recycled rubber mat is perfect for use in wash and grooming stalls, as well as stall aisles and trailers, thanks to the traction and shock absorption that it has.

For recreational areas, unlike rubbery crumbs or wood chips, which can be piled up and kicked around, our playground surfacing tile gives consistent protection against falling from heights for children on slides, monkey bars, and other kids play equipment.

These are rugged enough to survive outdoors in any climate and are available in varying thicknesses. Like all of our rubberized models, these are manufactured in America. We can help select the right sustainable playground product based on the requirements for fall heights.

Recycled rubber paver entrance tiles can take a beating and sustain the abuse that comes from high-traffic entrances. Our high-quality floors with recycled material can be found in businesses around the world and are a strong investment for any company that prioritizes the environment.

Recycled Plastic Tiles

We have these for playgrounds as well as for industrial use. Extremely durable, these are designed to stand up to abuse. Consider these for:

1. Playgrounds
   
2. Pool decks
   
3. Industrial use
   
4. Residential areas, such as basements
   
5. Events outside

Ours are perforated to allow drainage for rain and snow. They make for a forgiving surface that provides excellent traction, and these are suitable for use in the house or in wet areas, including pool surrounds.

Our Staylock Perforated has an ASTM fall height rating of 20 inches. They are non-slip, and the perforation allows drainage, which is ideal for use around pools or spas and on decks or patios.

Designed specifically for outdoor installations, they are waterproof. They are durable, and installation is easy using an active locking connector system.

Ours are built to endure heavy traffic and heavy equipment. They work great in basements or garages.

Our Warehouse Coin PVC consists of 100% recyclable PVC and is resistant to oil, gasoline, most solvents, and caustics. This material is perfect for use in industrial settings because heat, cold, or humidity do not affect its color or tensile strength.

We offer eco friendly outdoor flooring for special events. This simply clicks together and can be used and re-used multiple times. These are very tough and will last. They are easy to install, lightweight, and an essential item for outdoor event venues, outperforming eco friendly vinyl flooring.

Renewable Cork Flooring

This delivers a one-two punch against environmental concerns. The raw material is sustainably harvested from the bark of corked oak trees, which can grow back their bark. It is often constructed of waste corks from the bottle stopper manufacturing process.

This will provide thermal and acoustic insulation. It is naturally elastic and antimicrobial, and it repels insects, meaning it’s ideal for:

1. Building underlayments
   
2. Artificial turf fill
   
3. Laminates for homes

What is the most eco friendly flooring?
Cork tiles are possibly the greenest option available, as they are made of both renewable and recyclable materials. Eco friendly bamboo flooring is a nice choice too.

Are recycled rubber flooring rolls eco friendly materials?
Yes. Our eco friendly rubber flooring keeps tires out of landfills while ensuring that it is set up for recycling at the end of its lifespan.

Laminate from corks has durability, is affordable, and is all natural. It looks great while preventing sore legs, feet, joints, and backs. This has extra shock-absorbing qualities versus traditional laminates, adding a stylish touch to kitchens, living rooms, or other spaces and outperforming linoleum flooring.
