Wet Pour Rubber
Wet pour rubber is highly appealing due to its combination of safety, durability, and aesthetic versatility. It provides a soft, impact-absorbing surface that reduces injury risk, making it ideal for playgrounds and recreational areas. Its longevity and minimal maintenance needs make it cost-effective over time. The surface is customizable in various colors and designs, enhancing visual appeal and engagement. Additionally, it is wheelchair-friendly, promoting accessibility, and its non-porous nature ensures easy cleaning and hygiene. Often made from recycled materials, it also offers environmental benefits, making it a versatile and sustainable choice for various applications.
Playground Safety Surfaces
Soft fall surfaces in playground areas are crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of children. These surfaces, typically made from materials like mulch, synthetic turf, or rubber, provide a cushioned landing that significantly reduces the risk of injuries from falls. As children engage in active play, running, climbing, and jumping, the likelihood of accidental trips or falls increases.
A soft fall surface absorbs the impact, preventing serious injuries. Moreover, these surfaces are often designed to be accessible for children with disabilities, promoting inclusivity and equal play opportunities. By prioritizing the installation of soft fall materials, playgrounds become safer environments where children can explore, develop physical skills, and enjoy their playtime with reduced risk.

What is Wet Pour Rubber?
Wet pour rubber is made from a combination of rubber granules bound together with a polyurethane resin, creating a continuous, cushioned surface. This material is poured in place and spread out to create a seamless, flexible, and durable surface that can absorb impact and reduce the risk of injury from falls.

How Do I Choose the Right Type of Rubber?
CSBR lowest cost = a black rubber granule specially paint coated
EPDM higher cost = a fully coloured throughout granule
CSBR Premium Pre-coloured Recycled Rubber Surfacing is a high quality, hardwearing recycled rubber that is a cost effective option with a wide range of applications. Our range of precoloured rubber is coated using a special blend of paints, to ensure a brilliant, long lasting and UV stable surface. The coloured rubber is carefully mixed on site and poured to create a consistent brightly coloured and seamless soft-fall surface. Some of the colours shown may vary after application due to the binders and UV.
EPDM Premium Rubber Surfacing is an imported granulated non recycled rubber surfacing. Unlike CSBR the colour is through the entire granule. It is generally used in high traffic areas, as it can be worn down and still retains a consistent colour (no black showing through).
Available in a variety of vibrant single or multi coloured finishes the rubber is poured to provide a seamless soft-fall surface. Please note that some of the bright colours in this range may not be suitable for use in direct sunlight in Australia due to our strong UV.
