This is important to consider, as moisture present in basements and garages may also lead to adhesive failure. Finally, rubber is much more economical than many other flooring options. It is also important to note, high moisture areas need flooring that either allows for air flow beneath the flooring surface or allows the flooring to be easily removed for drying purposes.
