Rubber Mulch in Military Camps
The life of a soldier requires unwavering fortitude, discipline, and both mental and physical strength. The soldier is expected to safeguard the country and in turn, the country is expected to nurture the soldier—without turning them into mush.
Rubber mulch has built itself a huge following in the areas of flooring, gardening and landscaping, athlete-friendly surfacing, and even interior design. The unique qualities of rubber mulch highlight:
* Durability
* Weatherproofing
* Non-toxic rubber granules
* Non-rotting rubber granules, and
* Fantastic impact absorption
All these attributes are important standards for most military equipment. Moreover, rubber mulch is readily available across all 50 states in cost-effective packages and in military colors at no extra cost. Going back to the basics, let’s take a look at 3 areas in the camp that could use the help of rubber mulch.
1. In the showers
Unless soldiers are sent to far-flung camps to train for living with less-than-bare necessities, rubber mulch flooring in common showers will definitely help you control the outbreak of water-borne fungal and bacterial infections.
Rubber mulch is weatherproof, so you won’t have to worry about anything rotting soon. And when the time comes for replacement, you’ll find it easy to replace your flooring.
2. In the mess hall
Spillage, breakage, and slippery floors can be kept to a minimum with the help of rubber mulch. Investing in rubber mulch flooring will turn out to be more cost-effective in the long run than having to replace broken glasses or dented stainless plates. Moreover, rubber mulch allows you to choose the areas you want to cover with mulch. You can even apply rubber mulch flooring in strips.
3. In the gym
Lifestyle gyms and child-friendly gyms are already beginning to replace their rubber mats with rubber mulch. The rubber granules are simply more durable and offer more flexibility in terms of color, thickness and surface area covered.
Just the same, rubber mulch helps prevent impact-related injuries in a military gym while protecting the base flooring when heavy weights make contact with the floor.
