The FLOCO Journey: From Pool Decks to Industrial Safety Rubber Surfacing




Humble Beginnings with FLOCO Decking Systems


FLOCO started with a simple yet ambitious goal: to enhance outdoor living spaces in Southwest Florida through rubber surfacing solutions. Whether for pool decks, lanais, playgrounds, or sidewalks, FLOCO Decking Systems quickly became known as the rubber surfacing experts, delivering safe, slip-resistant, durable, and beautiful solutions. We helped solve common problems like cracking cement, unsightly surfaces, and drainage issues. Our clients loved the peace of mind that came with our cushioned rubber surfacing, which offers protection against slips and falls. Check out our other branch at flocodeckingsystems.com

FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing: Expanding Our Expertise

Building on our success in residential and commercial surfacing, we saw a growing need for safety solutions in industrial settings. We realized that our expertise in rubber surfacing could be applied to industries where safety is paramount. That’s when we launched FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing, bringing the same level of quality, customization, and dedication to industries like oil and gas, construction, and manufacturing.


With a strong connection to our roots at FLOCO Decking Systems, FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing is committed to providing rubber surfacing solutions that address the specific challenges faced in industrial environments. Our mission is to enhance safety, reduce accidents, and improve overall workplace conditions in sectors that require the highest standards of protection.


Why FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing?


The Importance of Rubber Surfacing in Industrial Settings

Industries like oil, construction, and warehousing are fraught with hazards. Slips, trips, and falls are some of the leading causes of workplace injuries. Furthermore, in environments where heavy machinery is used, and spills of oil, chemicals, or lubricants are common, maintaining a safe surface is crucial. That’s where FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing comes in. We specialize in providing rubber surfacing solutions that are designed to withstand harsh conditions while ensuring the safety of workers.


FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing offers:


  • Slip-Resistance: Our surfacing is designed to minimize slip hazards, even in wet, oily, or chemical-laden environments. This can significantly reduce workplace accidents and injuries.

  • Durability: Our rubber surfaces are built to endure the most demanding industrial conditions, including exposure to oils, chemicals, extreme temperatures, and heavy machinery.

  • Shock Absorption: Protect workers from falls or impacts with surfaces designed to absorb shock, reducing injury risk.

  • OSHA Compliance: All our rubber surfacing solutions meet and exceed OSHA standards for safety, helping companies stay compliant and avoid costly fines.

  • Customization: We offer custom surfacing solutions tailored to the specific needs of each industrial environment, from oil rigs to warehouses.

How FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing Will Transform Industries


Oil & Gas Industry: Rubber Surfacing for Oil Rigs and Containers


The oil and gas industry presents some of the most demanding working conditions. Oil rigs, both offshore and onshore, require surfaces that can withstand constant exposure to oil, water, and extreme temperatures. FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing is the ideal solution for this environment, offering:


  • Oil Resistance: Our rubber surfacing is specifically engineered to resist oil spills and leaks, maintaining a slip-resistant surface even in the most challenging conditions.

  • Chemical Durability: In addition to oil, many chemicals are used on oil rigs. FLOCO’s surfacing is designed to withstand these harsh substances without deteriorating.

  • Weather Resistance: FLOCO rubber surfacing can handle extreme heat, cold, and UV exposure, making it the perfect choice for outdoor industrial environments.


We’ve already partnered with a leading manufacturer of oil rig containers to provide rubber surfacing that enhances safety and durability. This partnership will allow us to expand our reach into the oil and gas sector, offering solutions that can dramatically improve workplace safety.



Warehouse Safety: Protecting Workers and Equipment

Warehouses are high-traffic environments where the risk of injury is ever-present. Forklifts, pallets, and heavy equipment can create hazardous conditions, especially when spills or uneven surfaces are involved. FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing is designed to:


  • Minimize Slip Hazards: Our slip-resistant surfaces provide workers with sure footing, even in wet or oily conditions.

  • Cushion Heavy Machinery: Our rubber surfacing absorbs shock, protecting both workers and equipment from damage caused by heavy machinery.

  • Long-Lasting Durability: Designed for high-traffic areas, our surfaces will withstand years of use without losing their slip-resistance or durability.


For warehouses looking to improve safety and comply with OSHA regulations, FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing is the clear choice.


Construction Industry: Surfaces Built for Tough Conditions

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous sectors, with high rates of injury due to slips, trips, and falls. Uneven ground, wet conditions, and heavy equipment all contribute to the hazards faced by workers. FLOCO Safety Rubber Surfacing is the perfect solution for construction sites, offering:


  • Traction in Wet Conditions: Our rubber surfacing provides excellent traction even when wet, reducing the risk of falls on slippery surfaces.

  • Shock Absorption: Construction workers often face impact-related injuries. Our surfaces cushion the ground, minimizing the impact of falls.

  • Weatherproof: FLOCO’s rubber surfacing can handle the extreme weather conditions often encountered on construction sites, from blazing heat to torrential rain.
