If you own a business of any type, you understand the importance of first impressions. When someone enters your commercial building - whether a hospital, surgery center, clinic, emergency room, or other medical facilities, or, an office space of virtually any type, having a clean, professional, safe, and welcoming reception area is a must.

Not only are the furniture and decor important aspects of this space, but the flooring is also among the most important features. Waiting room flooring should look clean and attractive, but it must also provide a level of warmth, comfort, and non-slip safety. It should also be durable enough to withstand heavy foot traffic and potentially dirty feet, as well as occasional spills and crumbs.

Greatmats offers a number of waiting room flooring options that not only provide aesthetic appeal but also provide a safe and comfortable footing for your patients or customers.

Rubber Flooring Rolls



Rubber Flooring Rolls are an extremely versatile waiting room flooring option that are easily installed over a concrete or wood subfloor using either glue or double-faced tape. They are available in a variety of colors and thicknesses and are precision cut to ensure a seamless fit and professional look. Because of ease of installation, a professional floor installer is not necessary – which helps keep costs low. Rubber flooring rolls, in general, are also less expensive than most flooring tiles.

Once the rubber flooring roll is placed and secured, it requires little maintenance, with a sweeping, vacuuming, or damp mop cleaning process, as needed. They are stain, mold, and mildew resistant – making them an ideal flooring option for any business where moisture is often present. They provide comfort, floor protection, noise buffering, and are environmentally friendly. Regardless of the business type, it’s always nice to know the flooring can be easily installed and maintained.

The ¼ inch thick rubber flooring rolls with 10 percent color are a durable option for a residential or commercial setting. Available in custom cut roll lengths over 25 linear feet, this low odor rubber flooring option is made in the USA of recycled rubber content. They feature color flecks that are distributed throughout and will not wear away. It can be installed with tape or glue, or, using a dry lay installation in a home office setting. This product is non-slip even when wet, and it is extremely durable.
