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.
