With a thickness of 3/8-inch, this roll of rubber offers a superior flooring option that is made from recycled materials, can be used in numerous applications, and is an easy DIY project which makes it even more affordable! This black rolled flooring is an eco-friendly product made from recycled waste tires. The raw material is shredded into rubber crumb where non-rubber materials, like metal fibers, are removed.

In addition to being a versatile product, the "Elephant Bark" is easy to install! Using a double-sided carpet tape on the perimeter of the product, you can have it laid out in an instant. This recycled flooring is made from used tires for an eco-friendly roll of rubber that fits any application. It can be used for indoor or outdoor flooring due to the sturdiness of the material. Its DIY-friendliness makes it easy to install yourself. For a reliable and efficient product, install "Elephant Bark" on your floors today!

Hi Kathy, Thank you for your question! This material is not completely smooth. Because it is made from recycled crumb rubber, the surface has a slight textured finish rather than a perfectly flat or polished surface. This texture is normal for this type of rubber flooring and helps provide durability and traction. For cleaning, it is very low maintenance and can be kept clean with simple methods such as sweeping, vacuuming, or using a damp mop indoors, and a hose for outdoor use. If needed, a mild household detergent can also be used for a deeper clean without damaging the material. Please let us know if you have any other questions! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.
Hello Stan, Thank you for your question! Water will generally not seep through the Elephant Bark rubber flooring under normal conditions. The recycled rubber material is dense and designed to provide a durable, protective surface that resists everyday moisture. However, if water is allowed to sit on the flooring for an extended period of time, small amounts may eventually pass through the tiny spaces between the compressed rubber granules. The material itself will not absorb water or be damaged by moisture. For typical indoor or outdoor use, occasional moisture or spills should not be an issue. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.
Hello Toolman, thank you for your inquiry. We are out of some sizes and colors. We apologize for that, however, we do have some sizes available for different colors if you want to order those. We are expected to receive more material in 3-4 weeks. Please let us know if you have any questions. Best,
Hello, Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, there is a risk that the Elephant Bark 3/8-inch rubber roll may stain LVP flooring if placed directly on top of it, as recycled rubber can transfer pigments over time, especially with the all-black version. To prevent any discoloration, we recommend using a protective barrier such as a thin underlayment between the LVP and the rubber. Elephant Bark itself is a durable, 100% recycled rubber flooring designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its resilience and shock-absorbing qualities make it ideal for gyms, garages, pet areas, and other high-traffic spaces, and using a barrier ensures your LVP stays safe while still benefiting from the mat’s durability. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.
Hello, Thank you for your question! Yes, you can roll wheeled items like a tool chest or a loaded weight rack over the Elephant Bark 3/8 inch flooring on concrete. This material is dense, heavy, and firm enough to stay flat, so it will not bunch up when equipment is moved. The 3/8 inch thickness is designed for heavy-duty use and is commonly used in gyms and garages where equipment is rolled or repositioned. It provides strong durability, good impact resistance, and easy cleaning, which makes it a reliable option for high-traffic or high-weight areas. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.
Hello, Thank you for your question! While Elephant Bark Blue Steel 3/8-inch is a highly durable flooring option made from recycled rubber, we would recommend against using it in a restaurant kitchen environment. This is because Elephant Bark is not grease-resistant, and prolonged exposure to oils and fats commonly found in commercial kitchens could degrade the material over time. For specific recommendations on flooring suited for kitchen use and grease resistance, please feel free to reach out to us at customercare@rubbercal.com. We’d be happy to help you find the best option for your needs. Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.
Hello Vjram, Thank you for your question! No, the Elephant Bark Blue Steel Rubber Flooring is not vulcanized. It is made from 100% recycled rubber, specifically post-consumer recycled tire rubber, and bound together with a high-strength polymer binder. This flooring is commonly used in settings like home gyms, weight rooms, garages, fitness centers, and other areas that require durable, slip-resistant, and impact-absorbing surfaces. If you have any other questions, or need help finding a suitable material for your project, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.
Hello Stef, Thank you for your question! Yes, the Elephant Bark Black 3/8 in. T x 48 in. W x 120 in. L Rubber Flooring (40 sq. ft.) would be a great option for anti-fatigue flooring behind a bar. Unlike lighter mats that shift and become trip hazards, this flooring is heavy, about 80 lbs, and stays securely in place. You can also use double-sided carpet tape at the edges for extra stability. It's cushioned for comfort during long hours of standing, slip-resistant even when wet, and easy to clean. Made from recycled rubber, it’s durable, eco-friendly, and well-suited for commercial environments like bar areas. Please let us know if you have any further questions! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.
