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. With a spectrum of vibrant colours to choose from, it allows for endless creativity in crafting engaging play spaces for children. Whether you opt for a rainbow of hues or a cohesive colour scheme, EPDM can bring any vision to life.

Colours and bespoke patterns can add a touch of whimsy and individuality to the playground surface. From geometric shapes to nature-inspired motifs, the options are limitless. Incorporating bespoke patterns can create a unique play area that stands out.

EPDM playground surfacing boasts unique design features that go beyond aesthetics. Its cushioned surface provides a safe and comfortable environment for children to play, encouraging active outdoor fun while ensuring their well-being.

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.

We showed them some examples of the work we could carry out for them, as well as the surface options we could provide, and before long we were at the school installing the job.

So in terms of the surface type we opted for, it was mutually agreed that wetpour surfacing would be the best option for the school. Wetpour is a flooring type made up of EPDM rubber, and it very popular nationwide for the following reasons.

Falls and trips aren’t the only thing wetpour absorbs well either, as due to it’s rubberised qualities this flooring is actually porous, soaking up rain throughout the year to significantly reduce flood risks.

And finally, wetpour can be customised right down to the finest detail. Clients who have this surface type fitted with us can choose from a huge range of colour options, and can even have custom graphics fitted flush to the surface to help with education!

Check out the video below to see the full project and how the play area turned out.

Video Transcript
Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you an Educational Playground Surface Installation in Brighton.

With this actual installation we carried out the work at a small nursery, and they were looking to turn their outdoor area into an education playground for the children to be using at breaktime and lunchtime.

We gave them an overview of the wetpour surfacing we can fit, and once they knew the benefits we were booked in right away to complete the job for them.

So with wetpour, this surfacing is soft and spongy because it consists of an EPDM rubber. This spongy nature means that it’s one of the safest surfaces available, and therefore ideal for playgrounds and nurseries here in the United Kingdom.

Another reason why wetpour flooring is a surface type so popular here in the UK is because this system is also porous, meaning rain is absorbs by the rubber. This makes it an ideal outdoor playground surface for countries like ours that experience plenty of rainfall throughout the year.

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Large Wetpour Play Area Surface Installation in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

So for this work we were contacted by this company that were interested in having a large safety surface fitted for their outdoor play area. They specified that safety was key for them, and so we showed them the different surface options that we could offer them.

It was soon agreed that EPDM rubber wetpour surfacing would be the optimum choice for their needs, and that was the case for many reasons.

Contact Our Team

Firstly, wetpour is a rubber surface that is designed with safety in mind. When kids trip and fall on wetpour, its EPDM rubber absorbs the impacts fantastically, meeting the critical fall height standards required for UK playgrounds and massively reducing the chances of injury compared to other surface types.

As well as this, wetpour’s rubber build-up ensures that this flooring is porous, which is perfectly suited to our rainy conditions here in the United Kingdom. Rainwater is simply absorbed by the wetpour, giving it great flood resistance all year round.

Finally, clients do have the options with us to choose from any colour and design they want for their wetpour playground. We’ve fitted jobs of all shapes and sizes, and can even fit educational graphics and shapes to the surface for the children to learn with during playtime. We can plan all of this out with you prior to the installation.

At Soft Surfaces we’ve been fitting and maintaining wetpour flooring nationwide for more than 20 years now, and during that time we’re proud to have become a market leader. Please do get in touch if you are interested.

As you can see here the job has been fully installed, and looks really great. The playground owner was really happy with the work we did.
