If you’re looking for a safe and durable playground surface that provides impact absorption, Wetpour Surface is a great choice. The rubber surfacing is made of a mix of rubber granules and polyurethane binder which is then poured on site, creating a smooth, resilient surface. It can be shaped and moulded around any existing play equipment to create an attractive, unique design. This type of surface is ideal for schools, parks and childcare centres as it’s highly durable, hard-wearing and requires very little maintenance.

The Ultimate Guide to Wetpour Surfaces: What You Need to Know

The impact-absorbing surface is available in a variety of colours and can be customised with designs, patterns and graphics to suit your playground. This allows you to set aside a designated area for higher energy activities and calmer playground areas, promoting safer, more focused learning. Contrasting wetpour colours can be used to clearly mark out different zones, allowing children to visualise the difference between these areas. This is particularly useful for SEN pupils who rely on visual prompts and indicators to navigate the playground.

When installed correctly by a qualified team, wet pour surfaces need very little maintenance and are much more cost-effective than loose fill or low-quality wetpour. The surface can be swept or blown daily to remove foreign debris, and in the winter a non-toxic chemical de-icer can be broadcast over the surface. The surfacing is also very durable and is less likely to flood or become damaged by heavy rain compared to other surface options.
