Rubber Surfaces’ product is especially useful in church, senior care, and daycare facilities. Our accessible rubber surfacing provides a softer landing should someone trip or fall, significantly reducing the impact compared to concrete and minimizing injury risks. Additionally, the option to add coloured EPDM synthetic rubber allows us to create attractive designs that delight the children or seniors using it, while ensuring a safe and slip-resistant surface.
These surfaces are ideal for creating reliable traction and durability in high-traffic communal areas. In fact, we provide rubber pathways for institutional access that meet the specific needs of facilities requiring safe, non-slip walkways.
Furthermore, we offer durable rubber flooring for shared community spaces designed to enhance safety and comfort for residents and visitors alike.
Is the surface safe for seniors, children, and mobility aids?
Yes. The seamless, non-slip finish provides stable traction for all ages and works smoothly with walkers, wheelchairs, and strollers. Rounded edges and optional contrasting nosings improve visibility on ramps and steps.
How easy is it to clean and sanitize in high-traffic common areas?
Very easy. Routine sweeping and rinsing remove dust and debris; for spills or classrooms/dining areas, use mild detergent and water. The non-porous, seamless layer prevents dirt accumulation in joints and is compatible with most common disinfectants.
Does it help with fall protection and fatigue reduction?
Yes. The resilient rubber layer provides underfoot cushioning that reduces impact compared to hard concrete/asphalt, helping mitigate slip-and-fall injuries and standing fatigue in queues, entrances, and playground perimeters.
Can it be used indoors and outdoors, and how does it handle weather?
It’s suitable for covered entries, courtyards, walkways, playground surrounds, and indoor vestibules. UV-stable pigments and flexible binders handle temperature swings and freeze–thaw cycles; the textured finish maintains traction in wet conditions.
Are there customization and compliance options?
Absolutely. Choose solid colours or blends and add high-contrast bands at step noses, ramp starts, and curb edges to support accessibility best practices. Logos, zone colour-coding, and wayfinding graphics can be integrated to match your facility’s design guidelines.
