What is it | Rubber Surfacing

What is Wet Pour Rubber Flooring?

Wet-pour rubber flooring is a seamless, impact-absorbing surface made from a mixture of rubber granules and a polyurethane binder. It is poured in place to create a continuous, slip-resistant surface.

Key Components:

  • Base Layer: Made of recycled rubber granules (often recycled tyres, called SBR), providing shock absorption and impact protection.
  • Top Layer: Consists of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber granules, which come in various colors for aesthetic and design purposes.
  • Binder: A polyurethane adhesive that binds the granules together and ensures durability.

We had some work done on our patio, and they did a great job! The owner worked directly with us on the project which was really nice. He knew what would look best in our front yard. He was able to give us a quote over the phone and they were able to bonded our patio very quickly. Would highly recommend!

They did a great job on my pathway. It was looking pretty bad, so I called PermaPave Solutions. They resin my pathway. They gave me a great quote and were able to get the work done the next week. The young men that came out did a great job. They were professional and did a thorough clean-up after the job was complete. I would highly recommend them for any resin bounding for patios, pathways etc!
