Wet Pour Surfaces are made from a ground up rubber granules bound together with a soft resin like EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Modified). This mixture is poured onto a prepared base of solid ground such as tarmac, stone or concrete, to get the desired thickness. The top layer can be coloured to provide fun and exciting play surfaces for children. Wet pours are popular around playground equipment and for community play areas in schools and local council facilities. It also can be used in gardens as a safe surface for children to play on, as it is durable, resilient and crack-proof.

Wet pour surfaces have a smooth and consistent surface that can be easily cleaned with mild detergents and water. It also requires very little maintenance and is highly resistant to movement or cracking compared with other types of safety surface options. Typically these surfaces will last 10 years and beyond without the need for major repairs or replacements.
