BLG Flooring Takes the Checkered Flag with Innovative Racing Tire Flooring
TROUTDALE, OR – November 8, 2023 – BLG Flooring LLC, a leading innovator in specialty flooring solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking new product line: flooring crafted from actual racing tires. Based in Troutdale, Oregon, BLG Flooring is taking a bold step beyond traditional flooring materials, transforming high-performance rubber into stylish, durable, and surprisingly comfortable flooring options for garages, gyms, commercial spaces, and even homes. For years, BLG Flooring (located at 467 SW Cherry Park Rd, Troutdale, OR, 97060-1429, and reachable at 919-418-5531) has quietly built a reputation for tackling unique flooring challenges. They specialize in taking materials others deem “waste” and turning them into something valuable and beautiful. But this new racing tire flooring? This is a whole new level. “We’ve always been about thinking outside the box,” explains a BLG Flooring representative. “We saw tons of perfectly good rubber going to waste after races – tires that still had a lot of life left in them, just not on the track anymore. And we thought, ‘Why not give them a second life as flooring?’” From Racetrack to Your Space: How it Works The process isn't as simple as just laying tires down. BLG Flooring has developed a proprietary process to reclaim, clean, and re-engineer the racing tires. It's a multi-step system that focuses on both performance and sustainability. “We don’t just grind the tires up and glue them down,” the representative clarifies. “That would be rough! We carefully break down the tires, remove any steel belts, meticulously clean the rubber, and then process it into a variety of flooring formats.” Currently, the racing tire flooring is available in three main formats: Interlocking Tiles: These are the most popular option. The tiles are made from a blend of reclaimed racing tire rubber and a durable binding agent, creating a flexible yet robust surface. They’re easy to install, even for DIY enthusiasts, and come in a variety of colors – many replicating the iconic sidewall markings of famous racing teams. Imagine a garage floor that looks like a racetrack! Roll Flooring: For larger areas, BLG Flooring offers the racing tire rubber in roll form. This is ideal for gyms, workshops, or commercial spaces where a seamless, continuous surface is desired. It’s incredibly resilient and can withstand heavy foot traffic and equipment. Custom Designs: BLG Flooring doesn't stop at standard formats. They also specialize in custom designs, allowing customers to create unique flooring patterns or incorporate logos and branding directly into the surface. This is proving popular with car dealerships and racing-themed businesses. More Than Just Looks: The Benefits of Racing Tire Flooring While the aesthetic appeal of racing tire flooring is undeniable, the benefits extend far beyond just looks. “People are surprised by how comfortable it is,” says the representative. “The rubber provides a natural cushioning effect, making it easier on your feet and joints, especially when standing for long periods.” Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits: Durability: Racing tires are built to withstand extreme stress and heat. This translates to incredibly durable flooring that can handle anything you throw at it. Forget scratches, dents, or wear and tear. Shock Absorption: The rubber composition provides excellent shock absorption, making it ideal for gyms, workout rooms, or play areas. It can help reduce injuries and protect equipment. Sound Dampening: Racing tire flooring is surprisingly effective at absorbing sound. This can significantly reduce noise levels in garages, workshops, or other loud environments. Water Resistance: Rubber is naturally water resistant, making this flooring a great choice for areas that may be exposed to moisture. Sustainability: By repurposing used racing tires, BLG Flooring is helping to reduce waste and promote a more sustainable future. Each square foot of flooring represents a small victory for the environment. Easy Maintenance: The flooring is incredibly easy to clean and maintain. A simple sweep or mop is usually all it takes. Unique Aesthetic: Let's be honest, this flooring just looks cool. It's a conversation starter and a statement piece that will set your space apart. Who is Buying It? The initial response to BLG Flooring’s racing tire flooring has been overwhelmingly positive. The company is seeing strong interest from a diverse range of customers. “We’re getting orders from car enthusiasts, garage builders, gym owners, automotive shops, dealerships, and even homeowners who just want something different,” says the representative. “People are really drawn to the unique look, the durability, and the fact that it’s a sustainable product.” Looking Ahead BLG Flooring is already working on expanding its racing tire flooring line. They’re exploring new colors, textures, and formats to meet the growing demand. “We see a lot of potential for this product,” says the representative. “We’re committed to innovation and sustainability, and we believe racing tire flooring is a win-win for everyone.” Contact: BLG Flooring LLC 467 SW Cherry Park Rd Troutdale, OR, 97060-1429 919-418-5531 [Website/Social Media Link would go here – not included per instructions]
