Product Overview
The Economy EPDM Sports Surface is designed for projects where budget is the primary concern. The system consists of two layers: a base layer made from recycled SBR (from post‑consumer tyres) mixed with PU binder, and a top layer of standard grade EPDM granules (15–18% rubber content) in a pure PU slurry. The recycled base reduces material cost by approximately 30% compared to all‑virgin systems, while the EPDM top provides a colourful, slip‑resistant finish suitable for light recreational use.
Ideal for: community playgrounds, school fitness circuits, residential game areas, and low‑budget park pathways.

Q: Can this surface withstand daily use by children?
→ Yes, for 5–8 years. For heavier traffic (schools with 200+ children daily), consider upgrading to Premium grade.
Q: Does the recycled base affect the top colour?
→ No. The base is fully covered by the top layer. Colour appearance is only from the EPDM.
