Why Use Musson Sheet Rubber?When specifying floor coverings for schools, important decisions must be made. Should you specify a “temporary” floor covering, like carpeting, which could “ugly out” or wear out, in a relatively short time? (Carpets may harbor allergens and bacteria which can be “kicked up” with every passing footstep.) Should you specify VCT or laminated sheet vinyl or linoleum, many of which have poor dimensional stability and need repetitive sealing and waxing to protect the surface?

Should you specify Musson Sheet Rubber Flooring?Musson Sheet Rubber Flooring is homogeneous, offers excellent dimensional stability, provides quiet, underfoot comfort, years of wear and... never needs waxing!Musson Sheet Rubber Flooring is maintained by cleaning as needed and burnishing with a high-speed buffer. This no-finish procedure provides a dramatic reduction in man-hours and materials!

Key Features/Benefits:• A dramatic reduction in the total lineal feet of seams – an especially important feature for healthcare applications.

• Excellent dimensional stability. Will not shrink like other floorings can.

• Requires no sanding, repainting, or special surface treatment.

• Can be “flash coved” – turned up on the wall to eliminate a dirt-catching cove base seam.

• “Flow” of marbled look is not interupted by cutting to acheive a floor pattern, or when inserting a special design or logo. Patterns, game lines, etc. are cut into the floor at the time of installation eliminating the need to repaint lines.

• Flooring, stair treads, and landing tile are easily design coordinated. The color and pattern range is exceptionally broad. Plus we have a custom color option to meet your individual design needs.

• Soft underfoot and comfortable to walk on.

• Withstands scuffing, grinding, and heavy foot traffic. With a top-to-bottom wear surface, rubber flooring is not only long lasting, but will look good for years.

• Does not need special waxes, sealers, dressings, or other finishes to maintain its appearance. This reduces expensive labor and chemical costs. Hence, maintenance costs are significantly reduced.

• Elimination of sealers and finishes reduces exposure to VOC’s as these chemicals dry.

500-L Sheet Rubber Flooring

Resilience, dimensional stability and endurance are natural characteristics of rubber flooring. Maintenance is minimal. Underfoot comfort is excellent. Most important, it retains its beauty and luster for years and years under the most grueling use. It’s the ideal choice for schools, hospitals, extended care and multi-purpose areas including corridors, gymnasiums, auditoriums, classrooms, patient rooms, theaters, cafeterias, and other meeting rooms.In addition to the marbleized colors shown, many non-standard colors are available in minimum quantities. We can also do custom marbleized colors as well as a flecked pattern. Contact our customer service department for additional information.Smooth and raised pattern stair treads (with matching cove risers and stringer) are available in a variety of patterns in most of our standard marbleized colors.

Cost ComparisonRubber Flooring Least Expensive Over 15 Years

A Florida Hospital (Orlando) fifteen year life-cycle study of VCT, sheetvinyl, carpet and rubber clearly documented that the lowest initial costhard surface floor, VCT, was the most expensive floor over time whenreplacement, maintenance and cleaning costs are considered. This1999 study by Suzanne R. Barnes, AIA, CFM, consultant and formerAssistant Director of Design (Florida Hospital-Office of Design) includ-ed 1,000 sq. ft. of each surface installed in the hospital’s pediatric unit.Rubber proved the least expensive when cleaning, maintenance andreplacement costs were totaled after fifteen years of use.

“Rubber was half the cost to clean/maintain than the other hard sur-faces requiring finish, since it is a product that does not scratch or mareasily. Rubber does not require use of expensive finishes or as muchmaintenance as the other floor surfaces.”

Product Studied Cost to clean/maintain 1,000 sq/ft over 15 years

Rubber 2 times initial installed cost

Carpet 4 times initial installed cost

VCT 6 times initial installed cost

Sheet Vinyl 7 times initial installed cost

Studies have proven that rubber flooring isthe least expensive flooring alternative overtime - saving a facility more than $30 persquare foot over a 15-year period.
