To ensure maximum durability and longevity for rubber tiles, we have already upgraded our tiles.
We no longer use the colored shoe material, instead; we use the premium solid black recycled rubber, which results in a much stronger and longer-lasting product.
There is a comparison between the solid black recycled rubber and colored recycled rubber shoes, please take a look below.
| Comparison Aspect | Solid black rubber granules bottom | Colored rubber granules (recycled shoes) |
| Core Durability | Excellent. The base layer consists of high-strength black rubber granules, providing outstanding compression resistance, wear resistance, and impact resistance. | Good. They offer good elasticity, but performance can be inconsistent due to the varying sources of recycled materials, making long-term durability less predictable. |
| Athletic Protection | Very Good. They provide excellent shock absorption and impact cushioning, effectively reducing stress on joints during workouts and minimizing injury from accidental falls | Equally Good. They naturally possess the elastic properties of rubber and also offer good athletic protection. |
| Environmental & Health Safety | Reliable. While made from recycled materials, quality manufacturers use strictly controlled processes. | Requires Careful Selection. Due to the complex and varied sources of the raw materials (shoe soles), there can be significant differences in quality and safety controls between batches and manufacturers. |
| Lifespan | Long. The inclusion of carbon black (as a reinforcing agent) makes the material highly resistant to aging and degradation, ensuring stable performance | Potentially Shorter. The longevity of colored tiles heavily depends on the quality of the pigments used. Lower-quality colors can fade or cause the material to become brittle faster. |
