Case Study: Flexco Continues to Stress the Long Term Value of Rubber Flooring

November 13, 2008


Flexco is a leading manufacturer of rubber; vinyl and ESD control commercial flooring.  When you work with FLEXCO, you’re working with a resilient flooring partner that has the experience, the determination and the dedication to make your flooring visions become realities.  For more than 60 years, FLEXCO has advanced as an industry pioneer and innovator by remaining performance driven, progress oriented and partnership minded.

When it comes to performance and selection, rubber flooring is leading the way.  Naturally resistant to mold and mildew, rubber flooring is designed for durability, versatility and slip resistance, plus they’re very quiet and comfortable under foot.  Choose from many different designs and environmentally friendly tile, in colors and patterns to match any design or application – from showrooms and residences to auto shops and bakeries.

In comparison to other products on the market, the life cycle cost of rubber flooring works out only paying for it twice in it’s lifetime in a 15 year study versus paying up to 8 and 17 times the initial cost of the other floors definitely speaks for itself.  It is always nice to look at the lower end products when budget becomes a problem, especially with flooring since it’s the last thing to go in the building.  However, the flooring will take more abuse than most any other interior going into the building.  The longevity of the floors in most buildings is very important due to not being able to close down sections of the buildings to replace the floors.

When looking at rubber flooring, the environmental impact is also very important.  Rubber flooring contains no PVC’s and will not emit vinyl chloride, plasticizers, asbestos, or CFC’s.  Air quality is a major concern and may be affected by emissions from the flooring material itself or the adhesives used to install the flooring, as well as the coatings and maintenance materials required to maintain the flooring.  The low-maintenance nature of rubber flooring helps specifiers minimize these environmental concerns.

In 2008, Flexco introduced Distinct Designs Rubber Tile and Treads color palette. This was very important to the design community as a whole – no longer would a designer be limited to specific colors due to budget restraints when considering Flexco products. Before this change, we only offered certain tiles and tread textures in specific colors and this opened up all treads and tile to all color groups with FlexOne pricing across the board. This has been significant in getting job specifications, since the product line is easier to understand and offers a color palette of 77 colors.

We also introduced Prime Sports Flooring, which is a highly functional and affordable rubber recreational flooring.   Prime Sports Floor is well-conditioned to take on a rigorous workout or provide added walking comfort and slip resistance for commercial, residential, industrial and fitness applications. 

Flexco is based out of Tuscumbia, AL and has been in business for over 60 years.  With Flexco, you can enjoy single-source simplicity.  Whatever the challenge, FLEXCO is your one-stop shop for flooring products and solutions to make every installation a success.  We are looking forward to a wonderful year in 2009.  Please visit our website at www.flexcofloors.com for our latest product innovations and we welcome your phone calls to our customer service department at 1-800-633-3151. - Melissa Quick
