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.

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.

Plan your EPDM flooring project

Share your site dimensions, equipment layout and preferred colours so the team can discuss a suitable build-up.
