Rubber crumb surfacing is a safety flooring solution made from recycled rubber granules, bound together with a polyurethane resin. This creates a soft, impact-absorbing surface that’s ideal for areas where safety is paramount. In Devon and Cornwall, with its emphasis on outdoor activities and family-friendly environments, rubber crumb surfacing is becoming increasingly popular in playgrounds, nurseries, and recreational spaces. The resilience of this material makes it well-suited to the variable weather conditions, providing a safe and durable surface year-round, which is especially beneficial in coastal areas where damp conditions can present additional safety concerns.

Rubber crumb surfacing is primarily used in areas where impact absorption and safety are crucial. This includes children’s playgrounds, where it helps to minimise injuries from falls. It’s also widely used in nurseries and schools, providing a safe and comfortable environment for young children to play and learn. Additionally, rubber crumb surfacing is suitable for sports and recreational areas, such as gyms, running tracks, and multi-use games areas. Its shock-absorbing properties make it ideal for areas where high-impact activities take place. It is also used in animal care, such as horse walking areas, and even in some domestic gardens where families want to create a safe play area for their children. The versatility of rubber crumb surfacing allows it to be moulded and shaped to fit various spaces and designs, making it a flexible solution for diverse applications.
Rubber crumb surfacing offers several advantages over traditional surfacing options like concrete, tarmac, or grass. Firstly, its shock-absorbing properties significantly reduce the risk of injuries from falls, making it a safer option for children and athletes. Secondly, it’s highly durable and weather-resistant, able to withstand heavy use and varying weather conditions. Unlike grass, it requires minimal maintenance and won’t become muddy or worn out. Rubber crumb surfacing is also permeable, allowing rainwater to drain through, preventing puddling and ensuring a safe, non-slip surface. The wide range of colours and designs available allows for creative and visually appealing installations, making it possible to create unique and personalised spaces. Furthermore, using recycled rubber contributes to environmental sustainability, making it an eco-friendly choice. Finally, it provides a consistent, even surface, reducing the risk of trips and falls compared to uneven natural surfaces.
