A resilient floor surface for indoor and outdoor, residential, commercial an d sporting applications includes a resilient underpad formed of expanded polypropylene product ("EPP") and suitable for being laid down directly on t he ground or other subfloor surface in a floating arrangement not requiring securing to the ground or other subfloor surface, and a floor covering material applied upon the resilient underpad as a covering for the resilient underpad. The surface covering is of the type suitable for floor surfacings, sport playing surfacings and decorative and sports surface coatings, and is selected from hardwood flooring, synthetic rubber and/or plastic flooring tiles and panels, rubber flooring tiles and panels, laminated wood flooring, residential and commercial carpets, crumb rubber surface coatings, EPDM (ethylene-propylene terpolymer) surface coatings, polyurethane surface coatings and any other suitable coatings. The resulting floor surface is sho ck- absorbing, sound and heat insulating, waterproof, lightweight, and durable, and is less expensive and easier to install than other flooring systems, due to the elimination of the multiple components required in prior flooring systems. |
