We were pleased to carry out a specialist wet pour rubber installation at The Oval Cricket Ground in London, creating new surfacing for walkways, steps and a private box. The project required a durable, attractive surface capable of coping with regular foot traffic...
Wet pour surfacing is a type of safety flooring commonly used in playgrounds, sports areas, and outdoor recreational spaces. It is made from a blend of colored rubber granules bound together with a polyurethane binder, which is poured and trowelled onto a prepared base to create a seamless, durable surface.
How it works:
-
Rubber granules are mixed with a liquid polyurethane binder to create a flexible, mouldable mixture.
-
The mixture is poured onto a prepared sub-base and spread evenly, often with a trowel or roller.
-
The surface is left to cure, forming a continuous, impact-absorbing, slip-resistant layer.
Benefits:
-
Safety: Provides excellent impact absorption, reducing the risk of injuries from falls, making it ideal for playgrounds and play areas.
-
Durability: Resistant to wear, weather, and UV exposure, offering long-lasting performance.
-
Low maintenance: Seamless surface prevents weeds and debris from accumulating and is easy to clean.
-
Customisable: Available in a variety of colors and designs, allowing for creative patterns, logos, or markings.
-
Accessibility: Smooth, even surface suitable for wheelchair users and other mobility aids.
Wet pour surfacing combines safety, functionality, and aesthetics, making it a popular choice for outdoor play and recreational areas.
