EPDM rubber flooring is a durable and safe surface ideal for playgrounds and sports areas, offering excellent shock absorption, weather resistance, and design flexibility. This FAQ guide covers its key benefits, installation, and maintenance.

EPDM rubber granules are premium quality synthetic rubber particles made which are made from Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM). They are the main component of rubber granules flooring and are valued for their superior durability, UV resistance, colour stability and cushioning properties. Because of these benefits, long lasting playground and sports flooring system

Rubber granules flooring is a seamless, cushioned surfacing system created by combining rubber granules (usually EPDM or recycled rubber) with a polyurethane binder. The mixture is poured and trowelled on-site to form a smooth, slip-resistant, and impact-absorbing surface. It is commonly used for playgrounds, sports courts, pathways, gyms, and outdoor recreational areas.

Yes. Rubber granule flooring is made especially to improve kids' safety by offering superior shock absorption. It adheres to international playground safety standards such as EN 1177 and ASTM F1292 helping to lower the risk of injury from falls.

Yes. One of the most significant advantages of rubber granule flooring is its design versatility. Rubber granules come in various colors, and they can also be used to create patterns, games, educational markings, themed graphics, numbers, or even custom logos. This makes the surface both functional and visually engaging for children.

Before putting the EPDM top layer, a secure basis is created, usually with a shock-absorbing underlayer composed of recycled rubber. Rubber granules are combined with a binder, applied to the surface, then trowelled to create a smooth, cushioned finish.
