# Trails and Walking Paths

Our rubber trails are made of recycled rubber. These trails are designed to offer pedestrians and joggers a low-impact, good traction, shock absorbing, and firm but resilient rubber surface. The poured, seamless system provides a safer and attractive option for trail and pathway systems that will beautify our parks and recreation centers, schools, and public facilities.

## Environmentally Friendly

Investing in rubber trails helps reduce landfill waste and promotes a mindset of sustainability in high-traffic areas. 

## Low Maintenance

Rubber is highly durable and resistant to weathering, cracking, and erosion – making it a smart long-term choice with minimal upkeep requirements. 

## Safety & Comfort

The soft nature of rubber provides a cushioned surface for joggers, cyclists, and other pedestrians, promoting healthier lifestyles within the community.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can you drive on rubber flooring?

Driving on rubber trails is generally not recommended, as it is designed for pedestrian use and may not withstand the weight and friction of vehicles. Certain types of rubber flooring can be used in areas with occasional light vehicle traffic, but regular driving could damage the surface.

### What is the life expectancy of rubber trails?

The life expectancy of rubber trails typically ranges from 10 to 20 years, depending on factors like the level of foot traffic or environmental exposure. Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of rubber surfaces.

### Do rubber trails get hot?

Rubber trails can get hot, especially in direct sunlight. The temperature of the surface can become uncomfortable to touch or walk on barefoot during hot weather.
