When it comes to playground surfacing options, Wetpour Surface is fast becoming the go-to solution for safety-conscious individuals and organizations. Unlike traditional loose-fill systems, wetpour provides an impact-absorbent surface that helps to minimize major injuries caused by trips and falls. It also offers a soft, cushioned landing to reduce the risk of children being injured by hard or sharp objects.

Wet pour is a multi-layer rubber paving system manufactured on-site and laid over an existing tarmac, concrete or MOT type 1 stone base to provide a seamless surfacing free of joints and seams. It is highly durable, complies with BS EN 1177 and can be installed at varying depths to achieve Critical Fall Height requirements for play equipment. Wetpour consists of a mix of granulated rubber crumb and polyurethane resin, which is then blended to produce a colourful surface that can be designed in any shape or pattern and is available in many different colour combinations.

Commercial Applications of Wetpour Surfaces: Schools, Parks, and More

A key advantage of wet pour is that it can be coloured in the most vibrant and exciting ways. It can even be used for bespoke patterns and graphics that can add additional play value to a space, such as hopscotch or snakes and ladders.

The surface is also very porous, so puddles and wet weather are less of an issue. It is advisable to sweep or blow the surface regularly to keep it free from debris and to remove any foreign objects. Regular rinsing with a water hose pipe on a low pressure setting and the use of non-toxic chemical de-icer will help to maintain the look of the surface.
