Wetpour - Safety Surfacing (Wet Pour) - Resin Bound Rubber Crumb Surfacing

Wetpour is a durable, impact-absorbing surface often used in playgrounds. One of the key features of DCM's Wetpour is its ability to achieve critical fall heights of up to 3 metres. It has also passed the most comprehensive testing criteria which includes flammability, indentation and abrasive wear.

Wetpour is constructed from two integral layers of rubber crumb combined with specialised polyurethane-based resins. These layers are designed to provide a safe level of impact absorption and come in varying thicknesses to match different maximum fall height risks. Essentially, the thicker the base surfacing material, the higher the fall risk it can mitigate.

DCM's rubber playground surfaces are offered in a wide range of colours, including vibrant, pastel, and neutral shades, as well as options for letters, numbers, graphics, and logos.

Features and benefits:

• Significantly reduces the risk of injuries.
• Requires minimal maintenance.
• Provides excellent slip resistance.
• Offers a diverse selection of colours and designs.
• Compliant with British and European standards BS 7188 and EN 1177.
• The porous surface can be utilised throughout the year.
• Delivers a seamless finish as it is hand-laid
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

FAQ's:

Q: What depth is wetpour laid to?

A: The top layer of the wetpour (wearing course) is laid to a minimum of 15mm. If play equipment is present, a CFH (critical fall height) is measured and the base course is adjusted depending on the amount of impact absorbing protection that is needed.

Q: Where is the rubber and resin sourced from?

A: All rubber is sourced from the UK and western Europe only. This ensures that our products comply with safety standards and are non-toxic.

Q: How soon can the surface be used after installation?

A: We recommend a minimum of 24 hours, especially during winter months when the binder could take longer to cure.

Q: Which edges should be used when installing wet pour?

A: We recommend pre-cast concrete or rubber edges are installed to ensure that the contraction and expansion of rubber, due to temperature changes in the weather, does not cause gaps between the edge and the surface.

Q: Can wetpour be installed onto steps?

A: Wetpour can be installed onto steps, as long as there is an edge for it to be installed up to.
