Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Polymeric Surface Long Jump Pit Construction in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

So this client contacted us explaining how they had an open field and wanted a long jump facility installed on it. We explained the services we offer, and once a date was agreed we were on site getting to work.

The long jump runways we install here at Soft Surfaces are often made up of polymeric rubber surfacing, as this specification is the most suited to athletics use. This is because its rubber surface makes it excellent to run and jump on, making it even more suited to sports such as long jump and triple jump.

Our polymeric surface types have other benefits too, one of the biggest being the fact that you can decide exactly what colour you’d like your runway to be prior to the install, and we can make it happen. From bright colours to traditional athletics finishes and even multi-coloured designs, it’s completely your call. We can discuss these with you in detail during the enquiry stage.

Benefits of a Polymeric Surface

All Weather Surface

Polymeric surfaces can be used all year round, which is great for schools because teachers are still able to carry out activities in the winter months without worrying about activities being called off.

Anti-Slip Finish

Having a polymeric surface installed in Leeds as opposed to another surface will massively increase the slip resistance of the surface, due to the finish that is applied to the surface. This surface will be considerably safer than many of its competitors, this also makes polymeric a great all weather surface.

Low Maintenance

It is very common for polymeric surfaces to last many years without needing a rigorous maintenance schedule or respraying.

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Resin bound Installation that we carried out in Cheshire Oaks

So this client gave us a call explaining that they wanted a new hard surface for their area, and when we described the resin-bound flooring we offer we were on site before we knew it.

So resin bound is a brilliant option for outdoor spaces like walkways and driveways as this flooring is installed completely flat despite giving the appearance of natural stone. What this means is that the usual maintenance required for the loose stone surfacing isn’t needed with resin bound, making it a brilliant choice over its counterparts.

Additionally, resin-bound flooring is a porous surface option, which enhances its outdoor appeal as it’s significantly less susceptible to flooding than rival surface types.

Not only that, resin bound is available in a huge list of colours to choose from, so whatever your area there will be colours to compliment it. All of these factors make resin bound a fantastic choice.

We’re a nationwide company here at Soft Surfaces and have been carrying out resin-bound works across the country for over two decades now. No job is too big or too small for us, so please contact us if you’re interested.

As you can see the job has now been fully installed and looks awesome in the tan colour they specified. The client was so happy with how their new surface looked, and with the quality of the job we carried out for them.

Benefits of a Mud Kitchen for a School Playground

Posted on May 23, 2024July 8, 2024 by Elliot

School playgrounds have, in many ways, changed hugely over the years to incorporate various types of equipment like mud kitchens. However, it is still likely that you will find some staples, such as slides, swings and monkey bars, commonplace across the UK.

Get a Free Quote

While these playground toys are big hits with children, there are more inclusive ways for children to play and to learn how to gain social confidence and develop fine motor skills during break times.

Mud kitchen playground facilities are becoming more and more popular with modern schools. While they may sound messy and unhygienic, they are perfectly safe for children of all ages to explore and dive into.

There are plenty of benefits of mud kitchens for school and nursery age children. What’s more, these playground staples are often some of the most accessible to children with hidden disabilities.

What is a Mud Kitchen?

A mud kitchen, as you might imagine, is an outdoor, pretend kitchen space. Instead of cooking up edible treats, however, children are encouraged to explore how they might use a kitchen with their imaginations, and with mud and sand. A mud kitchen not only helps to encourage children to work together to solve problems and collaborate on play ideas, but also to expand their scientific and mathematical abilities.

What’s more, mud kitchen EYFS equipment is a fantastic tool for harnessing the imagination. While children are not making food in a real kitchen, they can pretend they are creating some truly wonderful dishes and treats! A mud kitchen is an outdoor play area that is fantastic for imaginative play, which is healthy and encouraged in younger Early Years children. They can have fun making mud pies out of natural materials as well as developing creative thinking skills.

Mud kitchens are wonderful sensory playground facilities that may appeal to a wide variety of children. They are inclusive and open, meaning that children with some learning disabilities, or physical disabilities, can still join in the fun. Ideally placed near a nice patch of mud, mud kitchens are completely safe for children, though supervision is of course encouraged.

Talk To Us

The Importance of Messy Play

In a world where we are more conscious than ever about bacteria, viruses and disease, the idea of messy play might seem off-putting. However, with clear supervision and guidance, messy play is perfectly healthy and sanitary, and in fact, it is likely to be an essential part of a child’s development.

Getting messy is exciting for kids. The world around them is still so new and appealing! Therefore, the ability to get deep and stuck into some sand, clay or mud is likely to be really enjoyable. Children likely won’t care about making a mess until they are much older!

Therefore, it’s so important to harness these moments as early on as possible. Messy play is fun, sensory and exploratory. Most children develop through direct experimentation. Rather than simply learning through direct teaching and lecturing, it is always a good idea to let kids explore the world around them with careful supervision.

How Can Messy Play Benefit a Child?

Messy play can help to support the development of young children in a variety of different ways.

Children engaging in messy play can improve their hand-eye coordination. In a mud kitchen, for example, children may need to create specific shapes or flatten mud and sand into the form of a cake.
Motor skills also receive plenty of development through messy play. Children can learn more about how the movements in their hands and feet change the objects and items they come across.
Muscles and balance, too, receive support and development. In a mud kitchen, they may need to carefully pour water into a bowl to mix with mud. Mixing the mud, too, is going to need a fair amount of strength! Therefore, a kitchen will also help to improve muscle strength.
Messy play, not just mud kitchens, holds plenty of benefits for the mental and physical development of a child. What’s more, it is wide open to all children, regardless of their learning speed.

Mud Kitchen Activities

Which mud kitchen activities are likely to appeal to children the most? The possibilities are endless. A great mud kitchen might mimic the look of an everyday kitchen space. For example, you might use wooden ‘hobs’ to pretend to heat up mud soup. Children might also choose to bake a mud cake, but first, they are going to need rolling pins, spoons and measuring jugs!

The best mud kitchens allow for a wide variety of games and activities to take place. Crucially, it is all about making sure children have the access and availability to let their imaginations run riot. While you are going to need a mud kitchen to point children in a specific direction to some extent, it should never stifle their creativity or their sense of fun!

Therefore, a mud kitchen could make all the difference to an inclusive, open and fun school playground. Create a space for kids where they can safely explore the wonderful natural world around them.

Benefits of Sensory Activities for Individuals With Autism

Posted on May 23, 2024 by Elliot

It is vital to involve your child in sensory activities, this includes exploring touch, taste, sound and more- it is even more important for children with autism. Noisy surroundings and particular atmospheres can cause them to become anxious and irritable.

Although every individual is different, autistic children often share similar characteristics and can struggle to socialise, empathise and join the imaginative play.

Get in Touch

Believe it or not- you can now help them improve all of the above by simply encouraging them to engage in sensory play. This includes utilising touch and taste activities for kids, as well as various light-up toys.

Sensory integration can include:

Touch
Taste
Sight
Sound
Smell

There’s a number of ways to introduce your little one to the sensory therapy they require, many times it can be sensory play tables. These enable them to discover imaginative ways to play and enjoy their toys whilst using all senses. Different children have their preferences and often they can use the game, how they wish, using objects, sounds and overall tables to suit them.

Find Out More

In this article, we list benefits that sensory activities bring to people with autism.

1. Developing Social Skills

Drawing correlation between general sensory play and social skills may seem irrelevant when initially pondering about the two but experimenting with senses does help improve social skills. There are a number of reasons for this and as you delve into the subject you will unravel a number of advantages. Developing communication and social skills is one of the most important aspects of sensory therapy.

Sensory play allows for children to open brain pathways and subsequently build nerve connections. This then allows social skills to be improved. Recent research has shown that those that have integrated sensory plans every day, for 10-weeks, improve their social interaction, speech and communication skills. This can have many benefits for children with various types of special needs.

Contact Our Team

Many professionals are urging parents and teachers to incorporate various sensory ideas into their daily routine. A routine for those with autism is another important factor. Combine both by implementing sensory play into their day-to-day plan. This will then help them process information, including the atmosphere and surroundings- that can help individuals with autism become more comfortable in various social situations.

Be sure to check out our post about playground designs for non-verbal children to get ideas on how to create more inclusive play areas.

2. Improving Coordination and Physical Development

One of the overlooked aspects of sensory therapy is coordination and overall physical development. When you think about it, it’s pretty obvious that these types of improvements come hand-in-hand with testing sensory skills. Enjoying all senses can be physical play and also helps develop attributes that essentially help physical activity.

Two of the big factors of improving physical skills is to develop both fine motor skills and gross motor skills. These also contribute to the sensory exploration and can help children with special needs. See below for more information on each:

Fine Motor Skills- Fine motor skills involve testing precision. This can be picking up small objects. It helps coordination as well as allowing our little ones to experiment with their sense of touch.
Gross Motor Skills- This refers to playful activities that are physical. This is an important lesson for all children. It can be activities that involve squatting down, jumping, walking and more.

As you can imagine, all of the above assists children with developing physically and with coordination. Those with autism generally struggle with movement and this can then ‘snowball’ as a lack of physical activity will prevent the development of motor skills.

It’s important to note that autistic children have reported that joint hypermobility, apraxia and toe walking are common problems. Sensory activities for autism can sometimes help with these things.

3. Helping Children Relax and Calm Down

If your child is getting agitated, then offering them a toy or game that can activate their stimulus could help calm them down. It can be the case with many kids, but children with autism can get themselves really worked up. If you’re a parent, then you may be aware of the ‘melt-downs’ that occur, this can happen in any location, at any time.

Once it boils over, it can be difficult to put our little one back at ease. It can be painful to watch and not being able to do anything for them, is not a nice situation for any parent or teacher.

Thankfully, it’s possible to calm them with sensory games. Depending on where you are, it’s not always possible to set up specific games- that’s why you’ll need transport-friendly alternatives.

Talk To Us

There are also specific playground designs to help Sensory Processing Disorder which can make the outdoors accessible to all children.

4. Stimulating the Brain and Cognitive Skills

Autism is a cognitive disability- and stimulating the frontal lobes can be done in a variety of ways. Each of them includes sensory tasks of some kind, by introducing our children to sensory play from a young age can help them develop the cognitive pathways as well as activating their rationality.

It is often reported that people with ASD struggle to emphasise- sensory therapy can help these individuals develop cognitive skills and improve mental health.

5. Problem-Solving Skills

Many of the aforementioned games and activities include more than switching on their senses, but they also include problem-solving. Like many of the benefits of sensory play included in this article, each of them is intertwined.

For instance, problem-solving and being able to rationalise can then help advance overall social skills and interaction.

Sensory Play Ideas for Autistic Children

By now, we’re aware that sensory play can develop autistic children in a number of ways. It helps improve their coordination, cognitive function, social skills, problem-solving and can put them at ease.

But how can you help them enjoy various sensory play activities?

There’s a number of games and tasks for them to enjoy here are some of our suggestions.

Scented Playdough- You can make a batch of playdough with scents. It’s possible to buy it with a scent, but you can also mix them with cinnamon, vanilla, almond and other identifiable smells.
Tasting Game- Simply blindfold and have them guess the taste. It is an enjoyable game that has them rely on the taste sense.
Musical Instruments- Shakers, homemade drums and other instruments can be a lot of fun. This is something that comes down to individual preference, some noises can create irritation and anxiousness, let them choose the instrument.
Light-up Games- Different light-up games or activities can immerse children. This can be cartoons, light-up games that include coordination and other toys.
Movement Play- Movement can include a number of things. Get them moving around, walking, finding objects and picking them up.

We hope you enjoyed reading about the benefits of sensory play for autism. Why not give these a go at your school and see how they can help children’s development.

EPDM/SBR Rubber Surfacing Playground Flooring

Posted on May 23, 2024 by Elliot

Looking to create a safe and vibrant playground surface? Look no further than EPDM Playground Flooring!

Our team at Soft Surfaces offer the very best costs and installation services for EPDM Playground Flooring.

With our expertise in laying 15mm EPDM with a variable SBR base, we ensure a safe and customisable surface that conforms to different critical fall heights.

Speak to our team for more information on the EPDM flooring options we have available.

Cost of EPDM Playground Flooring

EPDM playground flooring costs between £42 and £85 per m² on average.

EPDM playground flooring costs vary depending on factors such as square footage, installation complexity, and colour customisation options.

EPDM and SBR rubber flooring, known for its durability and safety features, can come with various price points based on the project’s specific needs. The material expenses for EPDM rubber, which is a popular choice for playgrounds due to its impact resistance and low maintenance requirements, can make up a significant portion of the overall cost.

Installation costs, including labour and equipment, also play a crucial role in determining the final price. Any additional customisation charges for specific colours or patterns can further impact the budget. When considering the cost-effectiveness of EPDM playground flooring, it is essential to weigh the long-term benefits of its durability and safety against the upfront investment.

What is EPDM Playground Flooring?

EPDM playground surfacing is a safety surface made from Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer rubber, designed to provide a durable and safe play area for children.

Known for its exceptional impact-absorbing qualities, EPDM playground surfacing offers cushioning to reduce the risk of injuries from falls.

Its non-toxic composition makes it an ideal choice for children’s play areas, ensuring that they can play safely without exposure to harmful chemicals.

Plus its safety features, EPDM rubber is highly durable, resistant to weathering, UV rays, and heavy foot traffic, making it a long-lasting option to withstand the rigors of outdoor play areas.

EPDM flooring is often laid onto an SBR base to create a two tiered system, known as wetpour rubber surfacing.

What is EPDM?

EPDM, short for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is a synthetic rubber material known for its high tensile strength and excellent durability in outdoor surfaces.

EPDM is composed of ethylene, propylene, and a small amount of diene monomers, which give it a unique molecular structure that provides resistance to UV radiation and weathering.

With its exceptional granulation, EPDM offers enhanced impact resistance, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as playgrounds, track surfaces and rooftop gardens.

Its high tensile strength allows it to withstand extreme weather conditions, maintaining structural integrity over time without sacrificing flexibility.

This makes EPDM a popular choice for outdoor applications where resilience and longevity are key factors.

What is SBR?

SBR, or Styrene-Butadiene Rubber, is commonly used as a base material in EPDM playground flooring installations.

It contributes to the surface’s longevity and wear resistance.

EPDM playground surfaces, known for their durability and safety, rely on SBR to provide a cushioned foundation that absorbs impact and enhances the flooring’s overall performance.

The mixture of EPDM granules and SBR is professionally applied during the installation process, creating a seamless and resilient surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic, weather fluctuations, and frequent use.

The inclusion of SBR in EPDM formulations enhances the surface’s flexibility and shock absorption and plays a crucial role in minimising the risk of injuries during playtime.

How is EPDM Playground Flooring Installed?

The installation of EPDM playground flooring involves a meticulous process to ensure a seamless and joint-free surface for optimal safety and durability.

The installation process follows these simple steps:

Prepare the sub base (install an MOT type 1 stone, concrete or macadam sub base with edging)
SBR rubber granules are mixed with a resin binder and then laid onto the sub base at the correct depth
EPDM rubber granules are then mixed with a resin binder and laid at 15mm over the top of the SBR base
The area is left to cure, this usually takes around 24-48 hours depending on the size of the area and the temperature outside

Benefits of EPDM/SBR Playground Flooring:

EPDM/SBR playground surfacing offers numerous benefits, including impact-absorbing properties, wear resistance, and long-term durability in outdoor play areas.

One of the key advantages of EPDM/SBR playground surfacing is its ability to cushion falls and reduce the risk of injuries during play, making it ideal for children’s safety.

In addition, this type of surface is highly durable and able to withstand heavy foot traffic, harsh weather conditions, and the rigours of outdoor play.

Its wear resistance ensures that the playground remains in top condition, requiring minimal maintenance and offering long-lasting performance.

Choosing EPDM/SBR playground surfacing provides a safe and reliable surface for outdoor recreational areas.

Is EPDM/SBR Playground Flooring Safe?

EPDM/SBR playground surfacing is designed with safety in mind, offering excellent slip resistance and impact-absorbing properties to ensure a secure play environment for children.

These expertly engineered materials are ideal for playgrounds as they provide a cushioned surface that helps reduce the risk of injuries from falls, offering peace of mind to parents and caregivers.

The non-toxic nature of EPDM/SBR surfacing ensures that children can play freely without exposure to harmful chemicals, making it a perfect choice for a child-friendly environment.

Plus its safety benefits, the durability of EPDM/SBR playground surfacing ensures long-lasting performance, even under heavy foot traffic and harsh weather conditions.

Conforming to Critical Fall Heights

We can install a thicker depth for the EPDM/SBR playground surfacing to meet critical fall heights.

EPDM/SBR playground surfacing is engineered to conform to critical fall heights, providing impact-absorbing properties that meet safety standards for various play equipment heights.

These materials are carefully tested and certified to offer consistent protection against falls from different heights, catering to the safety requirements of playgrounds.

Whether it’s a swing set, jungle gym, or slide, the EPDM/SBR flooring provides a cushioned surface that minimises the risk of injuries and safeguards children at play.

Design Options for EPDM Playground Flooring

EPDM playground surfacing offers a wide range of design options, including various colours, bespoke patterns, and unique design possibilities to enhance the visual appeal of outdoor play areas.

One of the key advantages of EPDM playground surfacing is its versatility in terms of design.

Early Years Outdoor Play

Posted on May 23, 2024 by Elliot

No one can deny how many benefits outdoor play has to offer for children in their early years. With youth obesity being at one of the highest rates to date and more children becoming addicted to technology, it’s becoming vital for the next generation to be given a chance to not be a part of this number and to make a difference.

Early Years outdoor play is a key part of development for these young children and it can contribute to children’s cognitive learning and physical activity.

Importance of Play in Early Years

As soon as a child is born, they are already looking for ways to entertain themselves. From starting with staring at people’s faces and understanding emotion to physically engaging with objects and understanding more about it, letting your child explore and play is incredibly important. Outdoor learning through play can help improve school readiness, see more about this here.

At this point in their lives, children have no understanding of their surroundings, how to communicate properly, how to act, how to fully control their movement and how to process information. The importance of play in the early years is clear as it boosts children’s growth in so many areas.

Children rely on their senses to inform them about the world around them (whatever they can see, hear, touch, smell and taste) and by encouraging them to use these senses more, children will start to interact a lot more often and therefore learn a lot more.

Contact Our Team

Playgrounds do this perfectly. By allowing children to see and use a wide range of different objects and materials in a bright, interesting and colourful environment with other children around them, they start to learn a lot more about the world around them. See our post here which gives more detail on the benefits of playing outside.

Due to these reasons, the EYFS Statutory Framework was created (learn more about this at Foundation Years). The aim of EYFS outdoor provision is to allow children to learn 7 key areas through learning in fun ways. These areas are:

Communication and language
Physical development
Personal, social and emotional development
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the world
Expressive arts and design

All of these topics can be covered with activities in Early Years outdoor play. There are several different EYFS outdoor area design options and pieces of equipment that can be incorporated into playgrounds.

EYFS Nursery Playgrounds

Designing EYFS nursery playgrounds may seem like an incredibly confusing and complicated process, due to the wide amount of areas that must be met, but it’s not hard at all. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Soft Surfaces can help you create a perfect EYFS playground with no stress.

A wide variety of surfacing can be chosen for outdoor areas ranging from wetpour to rubber mulch. With so many choices surfacing to pick from, you not only can make your playground more unique but a lot more specifically tailored for certain activities.

You might be a bit concerned that the flooring could be installed incorrectly, or it could be unsafe for children to interact with; all our floorings have been specifically tested to BS EN 1177 standards for safety and Critical Fall Height ratings.

We can assure the highest quality when it comes to surface installation and will make sure that when it comes to the design process that your vision becomes a reality. No matter how ridiculous you might think the idea is, we will try our best to make sure that it happens.

Playground Equipment for Early Years Foundation Stage

When it comes to the creation of these playgrounds, there is a wide variety of different equipment which can be installed to make sure that children have a fully enjoyable and educational playtime.

Playground markings allow kids to use their imagination and their thinking skills to play games with them. Not only do they serve a practical purpose but can look aesthetically nice and appealing for the kids, engaging them even more. Check out this post to see more ideas for imaginative play and activity in the Early Years and beyond.

Talk To Us

There are plenty of different types of playground equipment for the Early Years Foundation Stage too. Sandpits and water areas give EYFS children the chance to interact with new materials and understand how things can differ from each other. Through this, it gives them an opportunity to learn more about their environment and maybe spark an interest in science.

Physical development areas will encourage kids to engage in a more physical intensive way. Through this, they can improve and maintain their physical and even their mental health through periodic use.

Roleplay will help children understand more about society and social interaction with other people. Developments in social skills and interests can be built up by this activity and let children explore areas in which they have a keen interest.

Music stations present children with chances to interact and hear new noises whilst having the freedom to create this noise without being told off. An increase in creative thoughts can happen, allowing the child to explore other areas of creativity and generate some interest in this section of learning.

It’s important that kids have a wide variety of equipment to interact with so that they aren’t doing the same things repeatedly, as they will end up becoming bored and lose interest. With the equipment above though, EYFS kids will have a wide choice of activities to do meaning that none of them gets stale and ignored.

EYFS Outdoor Area

In recent years, an EYFS outdoor area is becoming more and more important for a nursery. Not only do these areas promote social play, physical activity and improvements of children’s skills, they are also something that Ofsted inspectors look out for.

We would definitely recommend looking into the different sensory play ideas for your EYFS area, as these are great when it comes to improving the skills and abilities of young people.

A nursery outdoor space should offer fun games and interesting activities for young people. Any nursery without an outdoor area EYFS children can learn in may not get the best attention from OFSTED. Make sure to get in touch with our team if you require more information on outdoor EYFS areas.

Play and Learning in the Early Years

It’s important to offer children a variety of methods of play and learning in the early years, they are still exploring the world around them and are full of mystery and awe at the simplest things. What we may see as just a regular creature or building maybe something completely different to them.

Therefore, playgrounds often have so many things that allow children to get involved as everything there will offer some sort of mystery. New materials, odd shapes, colourful objects, talking to other peers, listen to new sounds, move things around etc. can all be offered in Early Years outdoor play areas due to the fact that children enjoy and benefit from them.

Get in Touch

Not only do they entertain the child, but they also allow existing skills to be improved and new skills to be formed. They are learning through the simple act of play and it’s important that people notice this. Find out more about active learning in this post. Parents should allow their children to have a healthy amount of playtime without any interruption to develop themselves. Plus, this gives parents the time to chill out.

Overall, with the government trying to promote EYFS playground developments in nurseries and pre-schools, now is the perfect time to start to develop your ideal playground and watch it before your very eyes become developed.

So originally this client’s surface has definitely seen better days and was starting to become dangerous to use day to day. They contacted us asking what options we have, and after running through the resin-bound flooring we offer, they booked us in as soon as possible.

Resin Bound is an awesome surface for outdoor spaces like driveways and pathways, as this flooring has amazing porous qualities to ensure flooding is minimised. Other surfaces that rival resin bonded surfacing simply can’t offer this, which is a big contributing factor to why this flooring is only getting more and more popular.

Another big reason why people love resin bound is simply down to how it looks. Resin-bound gives the desirable look of a natural stone finish, however, is actually fitted totally flat to the ground, removing the maintenance needed for standard stone surfaces. This means that any debris or build-up on resin-bound can simply be brushed away, making it a much easier surface to look after.

Finally, your resin-bound surface can be fitted in almost any colour you want, which includes more natural looks to bright and loud designs, it really is up to you. This advantage is massive, as having flooring that perfectly suits your area is a big benefit.

We have installed resin-bound surfaces for 20+ years here at Soft Surfaces, and have a reputation for carrying out works of all shapes and sizes, so if you’re interested, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Resin Bound Gravel Path Installation

Take a look at the video below to see our team installing a resin bound gravel path in Chelmsford, Essex.

Video Transcript
Hi guy’s it’s Dan here, and today I’m going to be showing you a Resin Bound Gravel Pathway that we installed in Chelmsford, Essex.

The client for this came to us wanting a new pathway for their area perfect for use all year round, and when we explained the many advantages of resin bound to them they booked us in straight away to carry out the works.

The resin bound surfacing we install across the UK is a hard surface that gives the appearance of natural stone, however it’s actually fitted completely flat. What this means is that the aesthetics of natural stone remain, but without the frustrating maintenance needed. With resin bound, debris and buildup can simply be brushed aside, making this an excellent surface to pathways and walkways.

Furthermore, resin bound boasts superb porous qualities, which means this flooring is a lot less likely to be effected by flooding than many of its rivals. For this reason, resin bonded surfaces are amazing as an outdoor flooring option here in the UK, particularly in our more rainy months.

Finally, resin bound can actually be fitted in almost any colour you can think of, which is a big positive for those ensuring they want their new surface to match or complement their existing facility.

At Soft Surfaces we have worked for over 20 years installing resin bound surfaces of all shapes and sizes, so no matter how big or small the job, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
