Once you receive your rubber flooring rolls or tiles it is always a good idea to inspect them carefully for any shipping damage.

If they can’t be used, we will gladly exchange the rolls with no questions asked.

Rubber Flooring Storage.

Roll Material:

Rolls should always be stored lying down on their side. They should not be stored standing up since this can damage the edge and cause the seams to experience what is called memory curl.

Rolls also should not be stored higher than 4 rolls or more for more than six months.

If you are going to store the rolls for an extended period of time it is good to periodically rotate the rolls to prevent compression or flat spots.

The flat spots will come out once the roll is rolled out and the rubber relaxes but it does make installation a bit harder.
