EPDM Flooring
Seamless wet-pour rubber surfacing for school playgrounds, early-years courtyards and outdoor activity areas across the GCC. Plan the colours, markings and floor build-up around how students use the space.
APPLICATIONS
Where EPDM works
School playgrounds
Use continuous surfacing around play equipment and specify a tested build-up for the required fall height.
Early-years courtyards
Use colour and shape to distinguish quieter spaces from active play zones.
Outdoor activity routes
Use built-in markings to define movement routes and informal games.
DESIGN OPTIONS
Colour and markings built into the floor
Use a coordinated palette for play zones, pathways and school colours. Contrasting shapes can help pupils identify activity areas, while simple line markings support informal games and movement.
What goes beneath the colour
EPDM wearing layer
Coloured EPDM granules are mixed with a binder and laid on site to create a continuous finish.
Resilient base
A compatible rubber base provides cushioning. Its specification depends on the selected system, site conditions and fall-height requirements.
Before specifying your floor
Survey the site
Check the sub-base, slopes, drainage and perimeter details.
Set performance needs
Identify equipment fall heights and request test evidence for the proposed system.
Plan upkeep
Clear debris and inspect edges and high-traffic areas regularly.
CAMPUS DESIGN CONCEPT
See how the surface shapes the space
Curved markings and contrasting colours bring structure to a shared outdoor courtyard.
INSTALLATION PLANNING
Plan the work around your school day
Agree the access route, work zones and handover plan before installation starts.
Prepare the base
Confirm levels, drainage and edge details before work begins.
Set out and install
Approve the colour layout and phase the work around access to each area.
Inspect and hand over
Agree when the surface can reopen and record the maintenance requirements.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
EPDM flooring FAQs
What to check before you specify a surface for your school.
Can EPDM go over an existing surface?
That depends on the condition of the existing base, how it drains and whether it can support the proposed build-up.
Can we match school colours or add games?
Choose from available granule colours and plan simple graphics or markings before the installation layout is approved.
How is playground thickness specified?
Ask for test evidence for the complete system and match its rated fall height to the equipment and applicable local requirements.
