Rubber flooring can enhance the safety of a healthcare facility when aesthetic concerns can take a back seat to good hygiene in the pathogen-laden environment, according to an article on the Sourceable website.
One of the chief advantages of rubber as a flooring material is its enhanced resistance to microorganisms.
