Spongy Safer Pour Surfacing for Playgrounds

The spongy safer pour soft surface usually found in play areas is termed differently from person to person, for example someone may call it ‘rubber play area flooring’ whereas someone else my know it as ‘rubber tarmac for children’s playgrounds’. Within the industry this surface is known as ‘Wet-Pour’ safer surfacing, this offers an ideal playground surface and a safe environment for children to play on at schools and nurseries or at public play areas.

Contact Our Team

Spongy Safer Pour Construction

The construction of a spongy safer pour playgrounds surface involves mixing rubber granules with a strong adhesive resin and laying it in situ. Safer pour rubber playground surfacing is laid as a two tier system compromising of a safer pour base layer made out of 100% recycled SBR and a safer pour wearing course which is made out of rubber EPDM. The thickness of the base layer varies in size dependent on the required Critical Fall Height (CFH) with the thickness of the wearing course nearly always staying the same at a depth of 15mm, it is this wearing course that determines the colour of the surface and in turn the price.

The perfect sub-base for the safer pour rubber surface to be laid upon is macadam as it is an open textured, porous surface making it SUDS compatible. This means water is allowed to drain correctly through the system which decreases the risk of flooding and water damage.

Soft Surfaces Ltd can help you with any query you have regarding spongy safer pour surfacing, we offer a start to finish service, from quote to project completion. If you would like to find out the costs of safer pour playground surfacing or have any questions in relation to any of our products please contact us at [email protected] for free, friendly and professional advice or visit our website at http://softsurfaces.co.uk/ for more information.

Q26 – Wetpour Playground Safety Surfacing

Wetpour playground safety surfacing is a rubberised crumb bound together with specialised glue. The Wetpour is mixed and laid insitu therefore it is important that a Q26 specification is met. The Rubber granules are laid on top of type 1 MOT which is a permeable sub base allowing the drainage of any surface water.

Therefore this makes wet pour rubber crumb flooring SUDS compliant as it is porous. This type of play area flooring is commonly installed in school playgrounds and at nurseries and public parks where play equipment is used. The impact absorbing properties of wetpour surfacing mean that it protects children from injuries when running around and playing in the area.

Talk To Us

The Q26 wetpour play surfacing specification is designed to provide reliable safety qualities in outdoor areas so that children can be active and use different types of equipment.

By installing a specialist safety flooring type like this where there is equipment like climbing frames and swings will ensure that children are protected from injuries of they fall. Feel free to speak to us via our contact form if you’d like more information about the costs and prices of wetpour playground flooring.

The base is made from a 2-6mm SBR rubber shock pad which varies in depth depending on the equipment fitted in the play area. For example: the higher a climbing frame, the more rubber base will be required. For this reason it is essential to provide us with the critical fall height before we can provide you with a quote.

The Critical fall height refers to the point that a child may fall from and not the overall height of the equipment in the playground. The surface course is made from a rubber EPDM and is harder wearing than the SBR base.

The rubberized surface is also available in a wide range of colours and graphics which can be viewed on our website at Wetpour Colour Range. Schools and nurseries often choose different graphics and games designs which help kids to learn as they play in a fun activity.

Our professional experts will be able to give you advice on all of the different options to suit the children who will be using the playground. On completion of the job we must log the name and contacts of the installer and date of installation to ensure they have all the surfacing contractor’s information and maintenance details. It is important to keep your wetpour playground safety surfacing clean to help maintain its porous properties and prevent moss and algae from growing on the surface.

If you require a price or some costs for this type of SUDS compatible wetpour surfacing please get in touch with us via the contact form. One of our specialists can provide you with a quote, product sheets, case studies or even design possibilities of a playground, park or play area.

What are the Benefits of Wetpour Surfacing?

Wetpour surfacing offers a plethora of benefits for play areas, including improved playground safety, resilient rubber surfaces, and flexible construction options.

Safety

Safety is paramount when it comes to playgrounds, and wetpour surfacing excels in providing safe and cushioned surfaces for children to play on.

Playground safety surfacing, especially when made with EPDM materials, is designed to absorb impact and reduce the risk of injuries during play.

The unique composition of wetpour surfacing allows it to offer a softer landing surface, making it ideal for climbing frames, swings, and other play equipment.

This resilient material not only minimises the impact of falls but also provides excellent slip resistance, ensuring children can play without the worry of accidents.

With wetpour surfacing, parents and caregivers can have peace of mind knowing that their children are enjoying their playtime in a secure and protected environment.

Durability

Durability is a key characteristic of rubber wetpour surfaces, making them ideal for playgrounds that require minimal maintenance and long-term resilience against wear and tear.

Rubber wetpour surfaces are adept at withstanding the heavy foot traffic and constant playtime activities in rubber play areas, ensuring they stay intact and safe for children.

This durability not only provides a secure play environment but also significantly reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements, saving both time and money for playground operators.

The robust nature of rubber wetpour surfaces adds to the overall appeal of playground facilities by maintaining a fresh and inviting look despite continuous use, contributing to the sustainability of playgrounds in the long run.

Low Maintenance

Wetpour surfaces, especially those using rubber tiles and EPDM materials, are known for their low maintenance needs, making them a cost-effective solution for playground construction.

One of the primary benefits of opting for wetpour surfaces with rubber tiles and EPDM materials is the significant reduction in maintenance costs and efforts over time.

Due to their durable and weather-resistant properties, these surfaces require minimal upkeep, saving both time and money for playground operators.

This low maintenance requirement translates into long-term savings and a more sustainable approach to playground management.

Aesthetics

Along with safety and durability, wetpour surfacing offers diverse design options, allowing for customised playground aesthetics that enhance the overall visual appeal of play areas.

With vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and the ability to incorporate shapes and designs directly into the surface, wetpour surfacing provides endless possibilities for creating visually striking playgrounds.

Customised designs add a unique touch to the playground, catering to specific themes or educational objectives.

Site Preparation

Site preparation is a crucial initial step in wet pour flooring installations, involving thorough planning and groundwork to ensure a solid foundation for the rubber surfacing.

Proper site preparation plays a pivotal role in the successful installation of wet pour flooring, as it sets the stage for a durable and safe surface for playgrounds.

One essential task in this process is the excavation of the area to the required depth, ensuring adequate space for the rubber surfacing materials.

Tasks such as levelling the ground, removing debris, and compacting the soil are all vital to create a stable base.

Attention to detail during site prep can prevent issues like sinking or uneven surfaces once the wet pour is applied.

Mixing and Pouring

The mixing and pouring stage of wet pour flooring requires precision and expertise to create a seamless rubber play surface that meets safety standards and utilises high-quality EPDM playground materials.

During the mixing process, it is crucial to measure the EPDM rubber granules and the polyurethane binder accurately to achieve the correct ratio for optimal performance.

The mixing must be thorough and consistent to avoid any inconsistencies in colour or texture on the final surface.

When pouring the mixture onto the prepared subbase, professionals need to work swiftly and meticulously to ensure even distribution and proper levelling. This step demands a keen eye for detail and a steady hand to guarantee a smooth and uniform finish.

The expertise required in this phase lies in understanding the properties of the materials and how they interact to form a durable, impact-absorbing surface.

This knowledge ensures that the rubber play surface not only meets safety standards but also withstands heavy foot traffic and harsh outdoor conditions over time.

Smoothing and Finishing

The final steps of wet pour flooring installations involve smoothing and finishing the surface to ensure a seamless and attractive rubber tile layout that enhances the overall safety and functionality of playground facilities.

By focusing on achieving a polished and professional appearance, these processes not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the surface but also play a critical role in ensuring the longevity and durability of the flooring.

Through meticulous attention to detail during the smoothing and finishing stages, potential tripping hazards and uneven surfaces are eliminated, promoting a safe environment for children to play on.

This attention to detail also contributes to the usability of the playground facilities by providing a smooth, level surface that is easy to maintain and clean, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.

Wet Pour Maintenance

Regular maintenance of wet pour surfaces, particularly those using EPDM materials, is essential to preserve their safety features, durability, and aesthetic appeal in playground settings.

Without proper upkeep, wet pour surfaces can deteriorate over time due to weather exposure, heavy foot traffic, and regular use of playground equipment.

To ensure these surfaces remain safe and visually appealing, it’s crucial to follow a structured maintenance routine.

This includes regular inspections for any damages, repairing small cracks or tears promptly, and performing deep cleaning to remove dirt and debris that can affect the surface’s integrity.

Applying a UV protective coating can help preserve the colour and longevity of EPDM playground materials, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the playground.

Implementing a regular maintenance schedule not only extends the lifespan of the wet pour surface but also safeguards the safety of the children who use the playground equipment.

What is Wetpour?

Site preparation is crucial in ensuring a smooth and durable wet pour flooring. This involves clearing the area of any debris, levelling the ground, and compacting the soil to create a stable foundation for the base installation.

In terms of base installation, a porous and well-drained sub-base, such as MOT type 1 aggregate, is typically used to allow water drainage and prevent water retention on the surface.

Preparing the wet pour mixture correctly is essential for a uniform and resilient flooring. Mixing the rubber EPDM granules with a polyurethane resin binder at the right ratio ensures a strong and durable surface.

Site Preparation

The initial stage of wet pour flooring installation involves thorough site preparation to ensure a stable playground foundation for the safety surfaces.

Site preparation is a crucial step that sets the groundwork for a successful and durable playground surface. Tasks such as removing debris, levelling the area, and assessing drainage are essential to prevent issues post-installation.

Proper site preparation not only ensures the longevity of the safety surfaces but also enhances the overall safety of the playground environment, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries. By meticulously preparing the site, installers can create a solid foundation that promotes optimal performance and longevity of the wet pour flooring system.

Base Installation

The next step in wet pour flooring installation is the meticulous installation of a suitable base, often comprising a porous base for optimal results.

In terms of laying down a solid foundation for wet pour flooring, choosing the right porous base plays a critical role.

The porous base facilitates proper drainage, ensuring water does not accumulate on the surface and enhancing the durability of the flooring. It provides a stable support structure that prevents shifting or settling over time.

Wet Pour Mixture Preparation and Installation

The critical phase of wet pour flooring installation involves the meticulous preparation and application of the wet pour mixture, often facilitated by the use of resin glue for secure adhesion.

Creating the ideal wet pour mixture is a crucial aspect that requires precise ratios of rubber granules and binder to ensure durability and safety.

Once the mixture is prepared, it is carefully applied on the designated area, be it a playground, sports surface, or walkway, using specialised tools to achieve an even and consistent surface.

The role of resin glue cannot be overstated, as it acts as the binding agent that enhances the bond between the rubber granules, providing a resilient and long-lasting foundation for the wet pour flooring.

Finishing Touches

The final stage of wet pour flooring installation involves adding finishing touches such as colourful designs and educational graphics to enhance the visual appeal and educational value of the playground surface.

These finishing touches go beyond just aesthetics, as they can also incorporate educational graphics that engage children and promote learning through play.

By integrating these elements into the playground surface, not only is safety prioritised, but also creativity and educational value are highlighted.

The use of vibrant and colourful designs stimulates imagination and creates a welcoming environment that encourages children to explore and interact.

Wetpour Maintenance

Regular maintenance of wetpour surfaces is essential to preserve their integrity and ensure the longevity of rubber playground flooring in playgrounds and recreational areas.

Proper upkeep of wetpour surfaces not only enhances the safety standards of the play area but also contributes to the aesthetic appeal and overall enjoyment of the space.

Tasks such as regular cleaning to remove debris and dirt, as well as periodic inspections for any signs of wear and tear, are crucial in preventing potential hazards and maintaining the durability of the rubber flooring.

Applying a protective sealant at scheduled intervals can significantly extend the lifespan of the wetpour surface and reduce the need for costly repairs or replacements.

How is Wet Pour Flooring Installed?

The installation of wet pour flooring involves a meticulous construction process that includes several key steps to ensure a safe and durable playground surface.

What are the Steps in the Installation Process?

Wet pour flooring installation involves several key steps:

  1. Site preparation: The area where the wet pour surface will be installed is thoroughly cleaned and levelled to ensure a smooth and even base.

What are the Recommended Cleaning Methods for Wet Pour Flooring?

Effective cleaning of wet pour flooring involves using mild soapy water, soft brushes, and gentle scrubbing techniques to remove dirt, debris, and stains without causing damage to the surface.

It is important to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that can wear down the rubber surface and reduce its longevity.

Start by sweeping or hoovering the area to eliminate loose dirt and particles before applying the soapy water solution. Use a soft brush to gently scrub the flooring, focusing on stained or heavily-soiled areas.

Rinsing the surface thoroughly with clean water after cleaning is crucial to prevent any residue build-up.

Regular cleaning not only improves the aesthetics of the playground but also helps maintain a safe environment for children by reducing slip hazards and promoting hygiene.

What are the Safety Standards for Wet Pour Flooring in Playgrounds?

Maintaining safety standards for wet pour flooring in playgrounds is crucial, encompassing factors like critical fall height, impact absorption, and slip resistance to ensure a secure environment for children, using materials such as EPDM granules and polyurethane resin.

Regarding wet pour flooring in playgrounds, the safety of children should always be the top priority. Ensuring that the surface can adequately absorb impact forces from falls is essential to prevent serious injuries.

The slip resistance of the flooring material plays a significant role in minimising accidents.

By utilising EPDM granules and polyurethane resin, playground operators can create a durable and safe surface that meets the necessary standards for fall height and impact absorption.

Critical Fall Height

Ensuring the critical fall height compliance is essential for playground safety surfacing, requiring the use of impact-absorbing materials like EPDM granules and appropriate playground mats to minimise injury risks.

Meeting the critical fall height standards not only ensures the safety of children playing but also mitigates the potential risks of accidents and injuries that could occur during active playtime.

By using impact-absorbing materials such as EPDM granules, playground surfaces can effectively cushion falls, reducing the impact on little ones.

Incorporating suitable playground mats further enhances safety measures, creating a protective barrier between the ground and children at play.

Impact Absorption

Impact absorption capabilities, such as those provided by shock pad layers and EPDM granules, are crucial safety features in playground surfacing, ensuring a cushioned and secure environment that requires periodic maintenance services for optimal performance.

When children engage in play activities, falls from swings, climbing structures, or monkey bars are inevitable occurrences.

The presence of effective impact absorption materials can significantly reduce the risk of injuries by cushioning the impact of falls, dispersing the force, and minimising the chances of serious harm.

Shock pad layers are engineered to absorb impact energy upon impact, acting as a buffer between the hard ground and the child’s body. This crucial layer can prevent severe injuries by reducing the strain on bones and joints.

EPDM granules, made from rubber materials, further enhance safety by providing a soft, yet durable surface that offers excellent shock-absorbing properties.

These granules create a resilient playground surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic and play activities without compromising on safety.

To ensure that these safety components remain effective and meet safety standards, regular maintenance services are essential.

Slip Resistance

Maintaining slip resistance in wet conditions is essential for playground safety, requiring the use of non-slip materials in safety surface constructions to provide a secure and natural-looking environment for children to play.

When children are at play, their exuberance and energy often make them oblivious to potential dangers.

Having a playground constructed with anti-slip surfaces ensures that even in wet weather, the risk of accidental slips and falls is minimised.

These surfaces not only enhance safety but also add a touch of natural beauty to the play area, blending seamlessly with the outdoor surroundings.

Incorporating materials like wetpour rubber can offer excellent slip resistance while maintaining an appealing appearance that complements the natural aesthetics of outdoor play spaces.

What are the Maintenance Requirements for Wet Pour Flooring?

Maintaining wet pour flooring in top condition requires regular inspections, cleaning, and repairs to ensure safety features like EPDM playground safety surfaces and SBR rubber granules remain effective in playgrounds across Somerset.

Regular inspections are crucial to catch any potential issues early on, such as cracks or uneven surfaces, which can pose safety risks.

These inspections should be thorough, checking for any signs of wear and tear or damage that may compromise the integrity of the flooring.

Cleaning routines are essential to prevent dirt and debris build-up, which can affect the functionality of the safety features over time. Using gentle cleaning agents and avoiding harsh chemicals is key to maintaining the quality of the flooring.

Regarding repairs, addressing any damages promptly is vital to prevent further deterioration. Whether it’s patching up small cracks or replacing damaged sections, timely repairs can prolong the lifespan of the wet pour flooring.

Rubber Outdoor External Playground Flooring

Rubber outdoor external playground flooring that is found in parks, play areas and playgrounds is known in the industry as a ‘Wet-Pour’ surface. A wet pour surface is created on site by combining rubber chippings with a single part resin such as polyurethane before being laid onto a pre-prepared base for example MOT Type 1 stone or macadam. These bases are preferred to ones such as block paving as they are seamless and porous making them SUDS compliant. This means that they allow water to filter through the system and drain into the ground suitably and effectively. This is much better compared to letting the water flow straight into other areas and drainage systems causing them to overflow in the instance of heavy rain. By having a porous playground surface, it also stops and puddles building up on the area and causing slip hazards for children using it.
