Product Overview
The Standard EPDM Sports Surface balances cost and performance. The base layer uses recycled SBR granules for economy, while the top layer uses premium grade EPDM (20–25% rubber content) with UV stabilisers. This combination provides significantly better colour retention than economy systems at only a modest cost increase. The surface remains colourful and slip‑resistant for 4–5 years in outdoor sun exposure, making it the most popular choice for schools and community projects.
Ideal for: primary school playgrounds, community multi‑use courts, park fitness zones, and residential toddler play areas.
