Norafloor and Johnsonite

Colors from Noraplan’s Spec line

Have you ever thought of using rubber flooring? It might just put some bounce in your step. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) Most people think of rubber floors as strictly commercial, but they look great in kitchens and baths, too. I just ordered up some Nora Flooring Signa for Chum Bucket’s bathrooms (our beach house located in Vacation Paradise – renovation almost complete).

Colors from Johnsonite’s Artisan line

Rubber floors come in an array of fantastic colors and styles. They’re great for kitchens because they’re kind on legs and feet that do a lot of standing. They’re also great in bathrooms because they’re soft and a bit springy. Basements? Perfect for that, too.

I was considering using a new, do-it-yourself Armstrong product called MIYO, but it costs more than $5.00 a square foot. Plus, you need expensive rolls of backing and adhesive. Ouch! It makes my bunions hurt just thinking about it. Nora and Johnsonite, the two biggies, are much less expensive, and all you need is adhesive. The tiles I bought were $3.14 per square foot and are easy to install yourself. I’ll be sure to post the after photos when we get the bathrooms finished.
