Announcing our Bouncing Baby Rubber Floor
Before
A few weeks ago we installed new flooring in the bathrooms at Chum Bucket, our beach house in North Carolina. Here are some Before and After photos. Keep in mind that the trim, which will be white, hasn’t been painted yet, so I’ll post the fully completed project later.
AfterWe decided on rubber flooring. It’s a commercial product, but it doesn’t look like it. The color looks brown on my computer, it’s really a sunny yellow with little flecks of blue. Maybe it’s the brown cabinet, which you can’t see, reflecting onto it. That, along with everything else, will soon be white.
Rubber feels great on bare feet and is very easy to clean. It was easy to install, too. First we tore up the old floor, which was so thin it fell apart. Then we had to scrape off the paper stuck to the plywood base. That wasn’t difficult, but it was messy. We spread a thin coat of adhesive and placed a tile on top, cutting to fit beforehand. Finally, we rolled over it with a 100lb. roller which we rented from a hardware store. That was it! I’m ready to hire myself out. I don’t think I heard one swear word the entire time.
