  • Hygiene: Many play area flooring options are easy to clean and maintain, preventing the buildup of dirt, debris, and bacteria. This is especially crucial for outdoor play areas where children may encounter soil, grass, or other potentially unsanitary surfaces.
  • Comfort: Soft and resilient play area flooring provides a comfortable surface for various activities such as running, jumping, crawling, or sitting. This promotes extended playtime and minimises fatigue or discomfort.

These are just a few of the benefits associated with children's play area flooring.

Types of Rubber Play Surfacing 

There are a few types of rubber play surfacing that we offer such as Rubber Mulch and Wetpour surfacing. 

Rubber Mulch

Rubber mulch presents itself as a versatile and permeable safety surface suitable for all weather conditions, boasting a textured appearance akin to natural bark.

For installation, bonded rubber mulch surfacing offers flexibility by allowing placement directly onto compacted earth or uneven terrain.

Alternatively, it can be laid over a suitable sub base to meet specific safety standards, particularly regarding critical fall height requirements.

This playground surfacing option remains a favored choice due to its utilisation of premium-grade materials.

Wetpour 

Rubber wetpour is a permeable safety solution highly favored for playgrounds.

Formed through the amalgamation of EPDM and a resin binder, this surface offers durability and safety.

Available in an array of vibrant colors and customisable graphics. 

Notably, wetpour demands minimal upkeep, underscoring its multifaceted advantages.

Rubber Play Surfacing in Chelwood

The play surfacing, wetpour is created using a double tier system including the base layer or shock pad layer which is made up of 2-6mm SBR rubber granules.

These EPDM granules then get mixed with a specialised binder and the mixture is laid on site up to prepared edgings.

This is the layer that usually varies in depth to meet the Critical Fall Height (CFH) or Free Fall Height (FFH) which is needed depending on the height of any equipment on the site and normally specified by the equipment manufacturer.

The wearing course layer is usually made with 1-4mm EPDM crumb that is mixed with a polyurethane resin and laid on site.

The wearing course EPDM of the surface is what determines the colour and design of the surface, wet pour EPDM granules are available in a range of colours such as red, green, blue, orange, purple, teal and many more.

The colour EPDM along with depth and size of an area being covered, determines the prices and costs of the job.

However we are confident that our play area installers http://www.playareaflooring.co.uk/play-area/childrens-play-area-flooring/somerset/chelwood/ can supply a wetpour safety surface to fit any budget.

Mulch may be laid over most surface types with minimal preparation for example an existing grass surface.

Bonded mulch surfaces do not need to be laid up to an edge like wetpour surfacing.

What is Play Area Surfacing?

Rubber flooring is a very common surface type used for playgrounds due to its enahnced safety features that it offers to prevent children from injuring themselves.

Mulch is a considerable choice for a playground as it uses a graded down texture to give the surface a more natural appearance like a wooded area.

Resin Bonded Mulch e.g. Rhino-Mulch surfacing offers a more natural rustic finish as it creates the appearance of loose bark for a realistic looking area faciltiy.
