Although they may seem similar to you, vinyl and rubber kitchen mats have differences - as well as many commonalities - that you should be aware of before choosing which one to buy. They are certainly accessible to all budgets and at Olivo.shop you will find a wide choice of both types of carpet with designs and patterns that will tickle your fancy! 

Today we will explore the many reasons why these carpets are a winning choice for any home environment, highlighting their differences so that you can make an informed choice based on your needs before reaching for the shopping cart and buying. Let's find out which one is right for you! 

The new vinyl carpet that has arrived in our e-commerce, namely Ulysses, gives us the opportunity to describe all the great qualities that such a product can provide. Made with a composition of 86% rubber and the remaining 14% polyester, Ulysses is a vinyl carpet with a great track record. In addition to a good absorbency capacity that keeps your floor dry and protected from humidity, it is particularly stable thanks to its rubber backing and allows you to move freely without worries in your kitchen.

It is child's play to maintain: you can easily wipe it with a damp cloth for lighter stains or, for a more thorough cleaning, you can easily put it in the washing machine at 30°. With Ulisse you can indulge your imagination thanks to the 5 sizes and 6 designs available, designed to fit perfectly into any home and any space, from the kitchen to the hallway, from the laundry room to the garage. What's more, thanks to its mechanical frame construction, it is synonymous with quality and durability.

And if vinyl carpeting is your thing, at Olivo.shop you can also find other proposals such as the parquet-effect carpet with a great visual effect! Try it to believe.

If, on the other hand, you are thinking of kitchen rubber mats, those from the Joke family will leave you speechless. They are the perfect choice for those looking for a durable, stain-resistant alternative. But that's not all: they are available in different patterns and customisable, which is another great advantage because you decide on the size!

These carpets offer the perfect combination of practicality and aesthetics. The high-definition digital printing gives them an almost photographic effect, ensuring a lane that looks as good as new every day.

Ease of cleaning is another plus point: just a damp cloth or floor mop is enough to get them shiny again. Moreover, their versatility makes them suitable not only for the kitchen, but also for the laundry room, the hallway or the garage.

Here's what they have in common:

• They're both shapable:Thanks to their non-woven nature and roll-to-roll sale, both vinyl and rubber mats can be cut and shaped with simple scissors, allowing you to adapt them perfectly to your needs.
• They're multipurpose:the leftover pieces can be used in a variety of forms, such as breakfast mats or appliance bases, ensuring maximum versatility of use.
They're non-slip:both vinyl and rubber mats are designed for stability and safety, reducing the risk of slips and falls.They're always easy to clean:maintenance is extremely simple for both mats! They only require a wipe down with a sponge or a floor mop.They have unlimited patterns: High-definition digital printing allows for striking and detailed patterns, giving rooms a unique and elegant touch of style.

Here are the differences:

• The flexibility:Vinyl carpets are made mainly from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a plastic material that makes them lighter and more flexible than rubber carpets, which are made from a natural material and are therefore heavier and more robust.
  
  
Absorbency and impermeability: Vinyl carpets are often less absorbent than rubber ones due to their structure and composition. However, they may still offer sufficient protection in areas that are not particularly susceptible to moisture and liquids.


• Resistance: Vinyl carpets may offer good stability due to their non-slip backing, but they may be less resistant to wear and tear than rubber carpets, which are generally more durable and withstand everyday wear and tear better, retaining their shape over time.

Vinyl and rubber carpets are an ideal solution for those seeking the perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics. With their durability, ease of cleaning and infinite versatility, they are a must-have for every modern home. Whether you choose a vinyl carpet from our website or one from the selection of rubber+kitchen carpets, either way you will transform your kitchen space into a cosy and safe environment.
