Frequently asked questions
- 01EPDM rubber surfacing is a poured-in-place system made from rubber granules and polyurethane binder. It creates a seamless, flexible, and slip-resistant surface commonly used for pool decks, patios, walkways, and recreational areas.
- 02Rubber surfacing is installed by mixing rubber granules with a specialized polyurethane resin on-site. The mixture is then poured and hand-troweled over a prepared surface to create a smooth, seamless finish.
- 03The installation process includes: • Surface preparation and cleaning • Priming for proper adhesion • Mixing EPDM rubber granules with resin • Pouring and hand-troweling the material • Finishing and smoothing the surface • Allowing proper curing time This process ensures durability and long-term performance.
- 04Rubber surfacing typically cures within 24–48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Full use, including furniture or vehicle traffic, is usually recommended after approximately 5–7 days.
- 05Rubber surfacing can be applied to properly prepared: • Concrete • Asphalt • Interlock and paving stone • Flagstone • Wood surfaces • Metal (steel or aluminum) • Roofing membranes It can also be installed over compacted stone bases for certain applications such as pool decks.
- 06No. Rubber surfacing is designed to be slip-resistant, even in wet conditions, making it ideal for pool decks, walkways, and outdoor areas.
- 07We offer a range of standard colour options, as well as custom colour blends to match your space and design preferences.
- 08Rubber surfacing is resistant to: • Gasoline • Diesel • Motor oil • Transmission fluid • Hydraulic fluids This makes it suitable for garages and driveways.
- 09Yes. Rubber surfacing is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including home gyms, recreational rooms, patios, and commercial spaces.
- 10Rubber surfacing is designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles. Its flexible nature allows it to expand and contract with temperature changes, helping prevent cracking and surface failure.
- 11Rubber surfacing is generally cooler than concrete and asphalt. Its porous structure allows for airflow and moisture retention, helping regulate surface temperature. Lighter colours remain cooler than darker colour blends.
- 12No. Unlike rigid materials, rubber surfacing is flexible and designed to resist cracking, splitting, or delamination — even in changing weather conditions.
- 13No. EPDM rubber granules are UV-stable and colourfast, meaning they are designed to resist fading and maintain their appearance over time.
- 14Yes. The materials used in our systems have undergone extensive testing for: • UV stability • Impact resistance (critical fall height) • Stain resistance • Resistance to mold, fungus, and bacteria Many products meet recognized industry standards and certifications.
- 15Rubber surfacing is porous, allowing water to pass through the surface and drain based on the slope of the underlying base. This helps prevent pooling and improves safety.
- 16Exterior Cleaning: • Pressure washing • Hose with mild soap and water • Specialized cleaning products if needed Interior Cleaning: • Regular vacuuming • Carpet cleaning equipment for deeper cleaning
- 17Yes. Damaged areas can be cut out and reinstalled using the same material. Repairs are typically seamless and blend well with the existing surface.
