Recreational Surfacing

What colours are the best in the Australian climate?

Our CSBR range will give you the strongest UV resistance in our harsh Australian climate. The strongest colours are Red, Green and Terracotta.

How long until my surface can be walked on?

24 hours minimum subject to weather and climate.

How long should the colour of my wetpour surface last?

The longevity of a playground surface is based on two major factors, the quality of the products used and the exposure to the elements. Weathering and UV damage play an integral part in the lifespan and colour fastness of a playground surface particulary in our severe Australian Climate. All EPDMs are imported and therefore primarily used in countries that have a solar radiation rating of 80-120kLy as opposed to Australia which has a rating of 220kLy per year, almost double. At A1 rubber we have taken what we have learnt and applied it to ALL of our colour ranges in both CSBR and EPDM.
