Wet Pour Safety Surface
Description
Wet Pour Rubber Safety Surfacing
Wet Pour Rubber Safety Surfacing is a durable, impact-absorbing and visually attractive safety surface that provides a safe and accessible solution for playgrounds, schools, parks and recreational spaces. Designed to offer excellent protection against falls while enhancing the appearance of the play environment, wet pour surfacing combines safety, durability and design flexibility in one seamless system.
Typically installed as a two-layer system, wet pour surfacing consists of a shock-absorbing base layer manufactured from recycled SBR rubber granules, topped with a durable wearing layer of coloured EPDM rubber granules. Both layers are bound together using a high-performance polyurethane resin, creating a seamless, water-permeable surface suitable for year-round use.
Available in an extensive range of colours and design options, wet pour surfacing can incorporate bespoke graphics, educational markings, themed designs and custom patterns to complement the surrounding play equipment and overall playground design.
