Why Rubber Flooring Is the Ultimate Choice for Playgrounds and Outdoor Spaces
What Is Rubber Flooring and Why Is It So Popular?
Rubber flooring is a durable, slip-resistant surface made from recycled rubber or synthetic materials. It’s poured in place or laid as tiles to create safe, impact-absorbing surfaces—especially useful for schools, playgrounds, childcare centres, and sporting areas.
At Rubber Floor Solutions, we specialise in wetpour rubber flooring installations across Melbourne and Victoria, delivering long-lasting surfaces that look great and perform even better.
1. Safety First: Protecting Kids and Peace of Mind
Safety is the #1 reason clients choose rubber flooring for their outdoor spaces. With high fall height ratings (up to 2.7m depending on thickness), our flooring systems help reduce the risk of serious injuries during play.
We follow Australian and New Zealand safety standards (AS/NZS 4422), ensuring every job meets compliance for critical fall heights, drainage, and surface softness.
2. Long-Term Value: Durability That Lasts for Years
Rubber flooring is tough. Whether it’s enduring Melbourne’s heat, rain, or heavy foot traffic, it holds up. Our clients typically enjoy:
-
10+ years of surface life
-
Minimal maintenance
-
Excellent colour retention with UV-resistant granules
It’s a smart investment, especially for councils, schools, and builders looking to reduce long-term costs.
3. Custom Colours and Designs
Gone are the days of plain black mats. We offer a full range of customisable colours and patterns, including school logos, hopscotch games, and theme-based designs that engage children and beautify outdoor areas.
Our team can match your design goals with vivid EPDM or CSBR granules, mixed and poured on-site to ensure perfect consistency.
4. Eco-Friendly Flooring That Makes a Difference
Many of our clients care about sustainability. That’s why we offer recycled rubber options made from repurposed tyres, contributing to a cleaner planet while still delivering the same quality and durability.
5. Fast, Professional Installation Across Melbourne
We understand time matters. Our team works efficiently and professionally, often completing jobs within 1–3 days depending on project size. Whether it’s a small child care area or a large playground redevelopment, we’ve got it covered.
