Wet Pour Surfaces safety surfaces are becoming increasingly popular around schools playgrounds, community centres and parks, as well as being used to create a range of other soft play areas like multi-use games areas (MUGAS) and daily mile tracks. They are also often found in children’s gyms, day care centers and even swimming pool surrounds. Unlike loose-fill surfacing options, wet-pour surfaces offer a more durable and long-lasting solution for impact absorbing playground surfacing that will not need frequent repairs.
These rubber surfacing solutions are made up of two layers; an SBR base layer and a colourful EPDM top surface. These materials are then combined together, poured and allowed to cure. The resulting smooth, shock-absorbing, wheelchair friendly surface provides an incredibly comfortable feel underfoot whilst providing a safe environment for children to play.
Choosing the Right Colors for Your Wet Pour Playground Surface
The rubber in wet-pour surfacing is specially designed to absorb impact, reducing injuries caused by falls. This is especially important for young children who are at risk of suffering from head trauma if they fall onto an unforgiving hard surface such as concrete or tarmac.
Once installed, wet-pour surfacing is highly durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, extreme weather conditions and UV exposure. This means that the surface will not need any regular repairs, saving both time and money for the customer.
Moreover, wet-pour surfaces are easier to maintain than other surface options, such as loose-fill. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and water is enough to keep the surface clean and free from debris. Additionally, periodic inspections will help to identify any damaged areas of the surfacing that need to be repaired immediately.
