Benefits of Wet Pour Rubber Surfacing for Schools

If you require a secure and robust playground surface to enhance your outdoor area, wet pour rubber surfacing could be the answer. This versatile surface offers slip-resistance and fall height protection, creating the perfect setting for children’s outdoor play.

Endless Colour & Design Possibilities

Wet-pour surfacing is incredibly adaptable, allowing for customised designs and themes through a wide array of available colours. Whether it’s a whimsical shape or interactive game graphics like hopscotch or a number ladder set against a black surface, introducing colour to the standard black surface amplifies the play value of this secure surface.

For more intricate designs, you can select from a range of colours and shapes to craft road or track layouts or use blocks of colour to zone the play area. The introduction of vibrant colours not only enhances the experience of active play but also provides a stimulating environment to develop fine motor skills and coordination.

Safety Benefits

Wet-pour rubber surfacing comes equipped with several safety features, making it a prime choice for schools and nurseries:

Shock Absorption: The flexibility of the wet pour surface allows for tailored installation depths to match the fall height of the adjacent play equipment. The wearing course, the top layer, maintains a minimum depth of 15mm, and when play equipment is present, an additional shock pad base layer is added. The depth of the base layer is precisely calculated, ensuring the right level of impact-absorbing protection.
Slip-Resistance: Wet-pour rubber surfacing boasts outstanding slip resistance, providing a stable and secure surface for children, even in wet conditions.
Seamless Surface: Whether installed over existing tarmac or concrete surfaces or on a newly compacted stone sub-base, wet pour creates a seamless and uniform finish, erasing trip hazards and ensuring a safe play environment.

Environmental Friendliness

Wet-pour rubber surfacing offers numerous environmental benefits, cementing its position as a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for school playgrounds and play areas:

Recycled Materials: The base layer of our wet-pour surfaces incorporates recycled SBR rubber granulate derived from used truck tyres, reducing waste in landfills and reducing its environmental impact.
Low-Maintenance: The inherent low-maintenance nature of wet-pour rubber surfacing minimises the need for frequent cleaning and chemical treatment, also lowering its environmental impact.
Non-toxic: Wet-pour rubber surfacing is non-toxic, emitting no harmful chemicals into the environment, further solidifying its status as a safe and sustainable option for schools.

Elevate your outdoor playground experience with wet-pour rubber surfacing, a choice that champions safety, creativity, sustainability and added play value, all rolled into one.
