Playground safety surfacing is a thick, bound rubber cushion poured under swings, slides and climbers at Nanaimo daycares, schools, parks and strata play areas. Our rubber surfacing work is fully insured on every job. It replaces loose wood chips and pea gravel with a surface that stays put and drains.
The depth is set by the fall height of the equipment, normally from an inch and a half to four inches or more, and the top layer is coloured EPDM in whatever pattern the space wants. Rubber surfacing for a playground is seamless, so there is no edge to lift and nothing to scatter.
Rubber surfacing holds its depth in every landing zone regardless of the weather. Wood chips and pea gravel are kicked out from under the swings and the bottom of the slide within a season, and eleven hundred millimetres of rain a year turns what is left into a sodden mat. A daycare in Harewood or a park in North Nanaimo ends up with bare, hard ground exactly where children land.
Rubber surfacing does not migrate. Rain drains through it, the depth under the swings in April is the depth that was poured, and there is nothing to rake, top up or haul away.
Rubber surfacing for a playground is poured in two layers: a thick base of recycled SBR for the cushion and a coloured EPDM wear layer on top. The height of the highest deck or bar on the equipment decides how thick the base must be, and that figure goes on the quote so the strata or the school board can see it. A toddler area at a Nanaimo daycare and a school climber are two different depths, and they are priced as such.
Thin rubber surfacing under tall equipment is the failure we see most in the trade, and we do not pour it.
Rubber surfacing needs a dry base, ten degrees and rising and no rain during the cure, so playground jobs on Vancouver Island are booked into the drier months and around a clear forecast. The base under rubber surfacing can be existing concrete, asphalt, old rubber or a compacted stone bed we build. Drainage is checked first, because a playground that puddles under rubber will still puddle.
Most playground rubber surfacing pours take two to four days depending on the size and the pattern, and the space can reopen once the cure is complete.
Rubber surfacing for a playground starts with a free visit to measure the equipment, check the base and set the depth, followed by a written quote with the square footage, the layers and the price. Playgrounds are one of six rubber surfacing services we pour for the same schools and centres, alongside gym and fitness floors for the same schools and centres. Call +1 778-608-0739 or contact us with the equipment list and we will come and measure.
The same poured rubber goes over pool decks, driveways, playgrounds, patios, gyms and barn aisles.
Pool deck surfacing wraps the concrete, pavers or wood around a Nanaimo pool in a soft, porous, non-slip layer that stays safe when it is wet. Our rubber surfacing work is fully insured on every job. The old deck stays where it is and becomes the base.
