−	Resilient flooring is loosely defined as flooring manufactured from elastic materials. Products made out of these materials share certain characteristics - they are durable and firm, but they also offer a degree of 'bounce' or resilience. Mastic asphalt was introduced in the 1900s and became widely used as a type of resilient flooring up until the 1950s. It has experienced an increase in popularity due to ~~certain~~ characteristics inherent in its composition, application and durability.	+	Resilient flooring is loosely defined as flooring manufactured from elastic materials.
