A revolutionary and environmentally friendly recycled rubber floor solution promises to remove thousands of tires from landfills across the U.S. Swisstrax, Inc., a manufacturer of interlocking tiles – based in Indio, CA – has broken the code to creating it’s flooring product line using 100% recycled rubber flooring materials, including recycled rubber tires.

“We have been working with CalRecycle, waste tire vendors, rubber compounding companies and plastics recyclers over the past several years in effort to find the right materials and perfect compounds” says Randy Nelson, President of Swisstrax, who directed the research project.

The new tile is the first injection-molded, anti-fatigue modular tile made with recycled rubber tires anywhere in the world. These soft interlocking tiles are made with special, Swiss-designed molds created for this new material, and all tiles are produced here in the USA.

Swisstrax is member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and its new line of interlocking tiles made with recycled rubber materials is LEED Points qualified. “We are proud to offer a recycled rubber floor product that is of the same quality and design as our current tiles but in a future-thinking, earth-friendly material utilizing U.S. waste tires, and helping to keep them out of our landfills” says Mr. Nelson about why his company is changing lanes and going GREEN.

The new anti-fatigue recycled rubber floor tiles will be displayed at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas

Monster Energy’s Stage event flooring features Swisstrax’s modular interlocking event flooring tile, Ribtrax – with custom color edges in Monster Energy’s green hue.

Swisstrax President Randy Nelson installed the stage floor that was custom-cut to fit the stage and entrance pads in surrounding areas. The Monster team was on hand to customize the floor and cut it into place.

The Swisstrax event flooring will be going nationwide with Monster and AMA Supercross for all their events throughout the year. The display floor adds to the aesthetics of Monster’s Stage and surrounding areas and the ability to include their corporate identity within the tiles is shown with the Monster “M” in an entrance pad, a Logotile sold by Swisstrax. The Swisstrax modular event flooring is also offered with a routed tile where electric cables can easily be used underneath. The Ribtrax open profile allows for a clean surface as dirt and debris falls underneath the tile and can be vacuumed, hosed or blown out as needed on an occasional basis.

Swisstrax also offers a full line of products and event flooring solutions for tradeshow booth floors, car event floors, hospitality booth floors as well as garage flooring, patio flooring, shop flooring, hangar flooring and a variety of other residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Q I have had two attempts at painting my concrete garage floor. On each occasion the paint has flaked after a short time. On the first occasion I scrubbed the floor with normal washing-up liquid, rinsed it and then used Wickes garage floor paint. On the second occasion I tried to be more rigorous. I used Sugar Soap as the cleaning agent and Leyland garage floor paint. I have seen perfectly good results elsewhere so I must be doing something wrong. Any hints and tips that you can offer that would lead to a successful outcome? GH, by email

A Concrete or screeded floors can be difficult to paint, especially when relatively new, because of a weak surface layer of cement that is brought to the surface by trowelling when wet. This is known in the trade as “laitance”, and can be tested for by scraping the edge of a coin across the surface to see if this produces a fine powdery residue. So, while we think of concrete as being a very hard, dense material, it can have this soft surface layer that flakes off easily, taking any applied paint coating with it.

What’s the easiest way to address this problem?  Use rolled garage flooring or garage floor tiles.
