Creating Better Surfaces, Building Better Spaces.
EPDM Playground Flooring for Safe, Resilient Play Areas
EPDM playground flooring from Rubflo combines colorful wet-pour surfaces with cushioning options for playgrounds, schools, parks and children’s activity areas. Our playground surfacing solutions offer custom EPDM colors, ETPU or SBR cushioning options, 2D graphics and 3D play features.
Playground Flooring Designed Around Fall Protection
Playground surfacing is not only about color and appearance. It also plays an important role in impact attenuation, fall height planning, stable footing, surface continuity and accessible play environments. Rubflo provides EPDM granules and ETPU materials for playground surfacing systems, helping create resilient, durable and visually engaging play spaces with flexible options for color zoning, custom graphics and 2D or 3D designs.
Impact Attenuation
Rubflo playground flooring systems support impact attenuation beneath and around play equipment. EPDM wet-pour surfacing combines a resilient surface layer with cushioning system options to help create safer, more comfortable playground environments.
How Playground Flooring Systems Are Built
Playground wet-pour flooring systems are built in layers, with each material contributing to cushioning, durability and surface performance. Depending on project requirements, Rubflo systems can incorporate EPDM granules, PU binder, SBR cushioning layers and ETPU material options to support different fall-height, design and application needs.
EPDM & PU Binder
Rubflo playground surfacing uses high-quality EPDM granules combined with PU binder to create resilient, durable and colorful play surfaces. EPDM supports a wide range of colors and can be shaped into both 2D graphics and 3D playground features, giving designers greater freedom to create customized play environments.
ETPU Material Option
Many conventional 3D rubber playground elements use molded SBR as the core material, often with a colored EPDM outer layer. In addition, Rubflo offers ETPU as an alternative lightweight and highly resilient material for 3D playground elements, providing greater flexibility for soft, sculpted and creative play designs.
Strong Bonding with EPDM
ETPU bonds easily with EPDM granules, supporting a secure and durable connection without complex processing.
Resilient Impact Protection
Its elastic structure helps absorb impact and create softer, more forgiving 3D play forms.
Weather Resistance
ETPU resists UV exposure, heat and moisture for reliable indoor and outdoor use over time under demanding conditions.
Efficient Installation
The lightweight structure simplifies handling and installation while maintaining stable 3D forms.
Creative Playground Design with EPDM
Rubflo EPDM granules support more than standard color surfacing. With flexible color combinations and wet-pour installation, playground flooring can incorporate both 2D surface graphics and 3D sculpted features, helping designers create distinctive play environments for schools, kindergartens, parks and public playgrounds.
2D Playground Flooring Designs with EPDM
Rubflo EPDM wet-pour playground flooring can be customized with colors, patterns and graphics that make play spaces more engaging for children. Pathways, numbers, animals, geometric shapes and themed designs can turn the surface into part of the play experience, encouraging movement, recognition, imagination and interactive play while maintaining a continuous EPDM playground surface.
Integrated into the EPDM Surface
2D graphics are integrated directly into the EPDM wet-pour surface using different colored EPDM granules and PU binder. They form part of the finished surface rather than a separate flooring structure.

3D Playground Features with EPDM & ETPU
Rubflo materials can support 3D playground features such as soft hills, mounds, stepping forms, animals and other sculpted elements that invite children to climb, balance, explore and interact with the space in different ways. EPDM granules provide a colorful, resilient finished surface, while ETPU can offer a lightweight and elastic material option for selected 3D playground structures.
Custom 3D Design
Shapes, dimensions, colors and themed details can be adapted to different playground concepts, allowing 3D features to become part of the overall play-space design rather than isolated decorative elements.
