A wet pour surface is a rubber flooring type that looks similar to tarmac but can also come with brightly coloured graphics. This kind of surface offers far better safety qualities compared to tarmac because it’s a great deal softer and spongier underfoot.
This means that children will be protected from injuries if they fall over on a play area. We conduct a variety of services with regards to safe flooring installation for school, nursery and public playgrounds.
Please note, we measure the safety through the depth of the surface and Critical Fall Height requirements. This ensures we meet BS EN 1177 safety standards.
Wet pour rubber surface could be installed for a number of areas including LEAP spaces. A LEAP - http://www.playareasafetysurfaces.co.uk/purpose/leap/ - is a local equipped area of play and is great for kids to play together.
Since play equipment is included in these areas it is a good idea to have a safety surface installed like wetpour.
Wetpour surfacing is a mixture of a polyurethane binder and rubber granules. The EPDM granules and polyurethane binder are mixed together on site and then the play surface is laid.
The wet pour rubber crumb surfacing is built using a two tier design including a shock absorbing base layer and a coloured or black top layer. The shockpad is installed to minimise any potential injuries to kids while they are using the area.
The top layer is the EPDM rubber crumb; this is applied on top of the SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) base to create the wearing course. The wet pour rubber surfacing specification can vary depending on the height of any play equipment within the area. To find out about the spec for your floor, please contact us directly using the contact form.
Please note, the SBR base is not the sub base. A sub base will need to be installed prior to ensure the surface does not collapse. This is usually type 1 stone, macadam or concrete.
The EPDM flooring specification is great for a number of activities including the schools daily mile. You may find out about the daily mile here http://www.playareasafetysurfaces.co.uk/purpose/daily-mile/ Since the surface is permeable the track will not get slippery in wet conditions which means the kids can still take part in the daily mile.
These surfaces are available in a wide range of colours to ensure that you obtain the best design for the play area. Educational games as well as fun EPDM rubber crumb colours and graphics can be placed on to the wetpour surfacing to give youngsters a place that they can play and learn.
