Seamless Playground Flooring with EPDM Granules
Nowadays, the playground design is no longer confined to rigid structures and standardized equipment. Innovative solutions are emerging, paving the way for a new era of playful exploration. Seamless playground flooring with EPDM granules and peroxide curing stands as a testament to this exciting evolution. This offers a unique blend of superior safety, unparalleled design flexibility, and remarkable durability.
Seamless Flooring with Peroxide Curing
EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer is a high-quality synthetic rubber. It is renowned for its durability, elasticity, and weather resistance. At Supersafe, we produce 1-4mm in size, form the foundation of seamless playground surfaces. Besides, the seamless EPDM flooring helps in eliminating potential tripping hazards. Also, it utilizes a wet pour method where EPDM granules are mixed with a polyurethane binder and a peroxide curing agent. These peroxide curing offers several advantages:
Fast & Effective
The peroxide triggers a chemical reaction, causing the binder to solidify within minutes. This minimizes installation time and playground downtime.
Weatherproof
The cured binder protects the EPDM granules from sun damage and harsh weather conditions. Thus, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Seamless Integration
Unlike adhesives, peroxide curing binds individual granules together. Hence, creating a seamless surface where water pooling and weed growth are reduced.
Design Flexibility
Seamless EPDM flooring isn’t just about safety. It opens doors to creative and engaging play environments. With a vast array of colored granules available, designers can create:
- Vibrant themes and patterns: Transform playgrounds into underwater worlds, enchanted forests, or even miniature race tracks. This definitely would sparkle children's imaginations.
- Custom designs and logos: Schools, communities, or even individual families can incorporate unique logos or artwork. Hence, fostering a sense of belonging and ownership.
- Accessibility considerations: Seamless surfaces facilitate easier movement for children with mobility challenges. This is, therefore, promoting inclusivity and participation.
Maintenance & Sustainability
EPDM granules are inherently low-maintenance. Routine cleaning with water and mild soap suffices, and occasional power washing can revive heavily used areas. Additionally, EPDM is recycled rubber, contributing to environmental sustainability.
