WELCOME TO FAIRMONT INDUSTRIES
Language:
We supply wet pour rubber granules and EPDM playground surfacing solutions for playgrounds, schools, childcare centres, public parks, recreational facilities and other outdoor activity areas. Our wet pour surfacing materials are designed to create durable, resilient and impact-absorbing playground surfaces that combine safety, functionality and attractive design.
A typical wet pour playground system uses SBR rubber granules for the shock-absorbing base layer and coloured EPDM rubber granules for the visible wearing layer. When combined with a suitable polyurethane binder and professionally installed, these materials form a seamless rubber safety surface designed for demanding outdoor environments.
For playground contractors, landscape contractors, developers, schools and facility operators, choosing the right rubber granules is important for achieving the required surface performance, appearance and durability. We can support projects requiring wet pour rubber granules and EPDM granules for playground and recreational surfacing applications.
Whether you are developing a new playground, upgrading an existing recreational area or sourcing materials for a larger surfacing project, we can help you identify the appropriate rubber granule solution for your application.
As a wet pour rubber granules supplier, we provide rubber granule solutions for poured-in-place playground surfacing and other suitable safety flooring applications. Wet pour systems rely on correctly selected rubber granules to create the required combination of cushioning, resilience, durability and visual appearance.
Our wet pour rubber granule solutions include EPDM rubber granules for top wearing layers, depending on the requirements of the surfacing system. The existing two-layer approach uses recycled SBR granules as the shock-absorbing foundation and coloured EPDM granules as the durable, UV-resistant surface layer.
We supply materials suitable for applications such as:
For contractors and project owners, material consistency is particularly important. The rubber granules need to work effectively with the selected polyurethane binder and installation system to produce a stable, seamless and impact-absorbing surface.
If you are sourcing wet pour rubber granules for a specific project, we recommend discussing the intended application, required surface construction and project requirements with us before placing an order.
Different layers of a wet pour playground system perform different functions. Selecting the appropriate rubber granule type therefore plays an important role in the overall performance and appearance of the finished surface.
EPDM rubber granules are used for the visible top layer of wet pour surfacing. EPDM provides the finished surface with colour, durability and resistance to outdoor environmental conditions.
The existing system described for the page uses coloured EPDM granules for the top layer because of their UV and weather resistance, colour retention and long-term flexibility.
Coloured EPDM granules provide considerably more design flexibility than conventional single-colour playground surfaces. Different colours can be combined to create attractive playground layouts, activity zones, educational graphics and themed designs.
Potential design applications include:
The existing page already identifies educational graphics, play patterns and thematic designs as key applications for EPDM surfacing.
The choice between SBR and EPDM depends on the role the material needs to perform within the complete surfacing system. SBR is generally associated with the resilient base layer, while EPDM is used for the visible wearing layer.
The final combination, thickness and installation method should be determined according to the playground design, equipment, required Critical Fall Height and applicable project requirements.
When sourcing wet pour rubber granules, buyers should look beyond colour and price. The material specification needs to be appropriate for the intended playground surfacing system and installation requirements.
Important considerations include:
The main materials used in the two-layer system are SBR rubber granules and EPDM rubber granules. Their functions differ within the completed playground surface.
Granule size can influence the appearance, texture and installation characteristics of the finished surface. The appropriate size should therefore be selected according to the surfacing system and project requirements.
EPDM rubber granules are available for projects requiring coloured and decorative playground surfaces. Multiple colours can be incorporated into a single design to create play zones, patterns and educational features.
SBR granules are used for the shock-absorbing base layer, while EPDM granules form the visible top layer in the two-layer system described on this page.
Outdoor playground surfacing materials need to withstand tropical's intense sunlight, rainfall and humidity. EPDM is valued for its UV and weather resistance, while its porous surface structure can support effective drainage.
The required rubber granule type, quantity, layer thickness and system construction depend on factors such as playground equipment, site conditions, required Critical Fall Height and overall surfacing design.
Important: exact granule sizes, packaging specifications, available colours, technical specifications and other product details should be confirmed with us according to the actual materials supplied for your project.
Wet pour rubber granules are suitable for projects where a seamless, resilient and impact-absorbing playground surface is required. Unlike loose-fill materials such as sand or rubber mulch, wet pour surfacing is installed as a fixed surface, helping provide a more consistent playing area and reducing displacement.
The system can be designed around different playground layouts and equipment, with surface thickness adjusted according to the required Critical Fall Height and project requirements.
For contractors and project owners, this makes wet pour rubber granules a practical material solution for playgrounds where safety, appearance, accessibility and long-term outdoor performance are important considerations.
EPDM playground surfacing refers to a poured-in-place rubber flooring system constructed using Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) granules. These wet pour rubber granules are combined with a specialised polyurethane binder and installed directly on-site to create a seamless, shock-absorbing playground safety surface.
Unlike loose-fill materials such as sand or rubber mulch, wet pour EPDM surfaces are fixed firmly in place. This eliminates displacement, reduces maintenance requirements, and ensures uniform impact protection across the entire playground area.
EPDM wet pour surfacing is particularly valued due to its ability to withstand tropical weather conditions, including intense UV exposure, heavy rainfall, and high humidity.
A defining feature of EPDM playground surfacing is its dual-layer construction, designed to optimise both safety and durability for playground impact surfacing.
The bottom layer is composed of recycled SBR rubber granules. This layer serves as the primary shock absorber, cushioning falls and reducing the risk of serious injuries. Its elastic properties provide a comfortable yet stable base for active play.
The top layer consists of high-quality coloured EPDM rubber granules designed specifically for outdoor playground surfacing. This layer delivers:
Together, these layers create a balanced wet pour playground flooring system that ensures both safety compliance and long-term structural integrity.
Safety is the primary reason for choosing EPDM playground surfacing. The system offers:
This significantly reduces the likelihood of injuries during play.
EPDM rubber is engineered to withstand:
Its resistance to cracking, fading, and wear ensures a long service life, making it a cost-effective investment.
Tropical's climate presents unique challenges, including intense sunlight and frequent rain. EPDM surfacing addresses these with:
This ensures the surface remains functional and visually appealing throughout the year.
Unlike loose-fill surfaces, wet pour systems require minimal upkeep. Maintenance typically involves:
This reduces long-term operational costs and downtime.
Many wet pour systems incorporate recycled rubber granules in the base layer, contributing to environmental sustainability. Combined with their long lifespan, EPDM playground surfaces offer a lower environmental impact compared to traditional alternatives.
The continuous, joint-free finish ensures:
This makes EPDM playground surfacing suitable for inclusive and barrier-free recreational spaces.
EPDM wet pour rubber surfacing delivers exceptional playground flooring performance for both indoor and outdoor recreational environments. Its seamless construction creates durable safety play surfaces that remain stable under heavy daily use while maintaining long-term shock absorption. Compared to traditional playground materials, rubber safety flooring provides greater comfort, improved accessibility, and enhanced protection against slips and falls.
The combination of recycled SBR and EPDM granules also allows playground rubber flooring systems to function effectively as impact-absorbing playground flooring, helping facilities meet modern playground safety standards while improving overall user experience.
Tropical's hot, humid and rainy climate places demanding conditions on outdoor playground surfaces. Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, UV radiation, heavy rainfall and high humidity can affect conventional surfacing materials over time. For this reason, selecting a playground surface that can withstand tropical outdoor conditions is an important consideration for schools, childcare centres, parks, residential developments and recreational facilities.
EPDM playground surfacing is well suited to these conditions because EPDM rubber granules are valued for their UV and weather resistance, flexibility and ability to maintain their appearance in demanding outdoor environments. When used as the wearing layer of a properly designed wet pour system, coloured EPDM granules provide a durable and resilient surface while allowing playground owners to create attractive, customised designs.
Continuous exposure to strong sunlight can cause some outdoor materials to fade, crack or deteriorate. EPDM rubber granules are designed for outdoor applications and offer good resistance to UV exposure and weathering. This helps the finished playground surface retain its flexibility, colour and overall appearance over extended use.
Tropical's frequent rainfall makes drainage particularly important for outdoor playgrounds. Wet pour EPDM surfacing has a porous structure that allows water to pass through the surface, helping to minimise standing water and improve usability after rain.
However, the performance of the completed playground depends on the underlying substrate and drainage system as well as the rubber surface itself. Proper site preparation and installation are therefore essential.
Outdoor playground surfaces are exposed to high temperatures and humidity throughout much of the year. EPDM rubber granules provide a flexible surfacing material that can withstand these environmental conditions while maintaining the resilient characteristics required for active play areas.
For schools, nurseries, childcare centres, public parks, residential developments and community recreational areas, EPDM playground surfacing provides a practical solution for creating durable outdoor play environments. Its combination of weather resistance, drainage performance, colour flexibility and resilient surface characteristics makes it particularly suitable for playground projects in tropical climate.
For projects requiring EPDM rubber granules for wet pour playground surfacing, the correct material specification, surface thickness, substrate preparation and drainage design should be considered together to achieve the intended long-term performance.
One of the strongest advantages of EPDM playground surfacing is its design versatility. Because the material is poured on-site, it can be customised in terms of both thickness and appearance.
The surface thickness can be tailored to meet Critical Fall Height (CFH) requirements for various playground equipment such as:
This ensures compliance with international safety standards while maintaining optimal performance.
Designers can incorporate a wide range of creative elements, including:
These features transform playgrounds into interactive learning environments, enhancing both engagement and developmental value.
