Sourced and Manufactured in California
The primary raw material for Survivor® SportFloor and ClearSight® Vegetation Control is post-consumer recycled crumb rubber, which is a derivative of discarded tires from California landfills. U.S. Rubber Recycling is California’s largest user of recycled crumb rubber that produces flooring. We annually divert millions of discarded auto tires away from California landfills into our production feedstream. The primary raw materials for QuietSound® Acoustical Underlayment are post-industrial recycled trim from U.S. Rubber’s manufacturing stream and California tire buffings. The other primary raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are a binder and treatment resin. Both are sourced from a single Southern California adhesive manufacturer.

FLOORING | Survivor® SportFloor
Overview
Survivor® SportFloor systems are a collection of premium, competitive rubber flooring products. Rolls deliver a tough, durable and easy to maintain solution as well as exceptional sound insulation and impact absorption. Survivor® SportFloor tiles, which include Square, Interlocking, Eco-Lock and Mega, deliver the extreme durability needed to withstand the rigors and punishment of a free weight area. Survivor® SportFloor’s primary raw material is post-consumer recycled crumb rubber, a derivative of discarded tires from California landfills.
Rolls
Survivor® SportFloor Rolls are available in a variety of thicknesses, 1/8” (3mm), 5/32” (4mm), 1/4” (6mm), 5/16” (8mm), 3/8” (9mm), 1/2” (12mm) and ¾” (18mm). Standard roll lengths are as follows:

Survivor® SportFloor Rolls can be ordered to specific lengths. A roll length fee of $10 will be applied for each custom length roll, not to exceed $50 per order.
For orders of five rolls or more, customers may receive a spliced roll which consists of two pieces not joined together to reach a desired length. This is not a common occurrence and will not occur more often than once every five rolls. Spliced rolls are identified with a red packaging label that indicates the length of each piece.
All head seams must be overlapped and cut by the installer using a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to make a straight cut along the wall line. For this reason, we provide at least three inches of extra material on each roll.
