How Rubber Surfacing Benefits Municipal Splash Pad Surfaces
 
 
If you represent a municipality that is thinking about building a splash pad in local parks, or if you already have splash pad surfaces that you need to have repaired, then rubber surfacing by No Fault is ideal for your application.
 
Rubber surfacing is what your splash pad needs to give it exceptional wet-deck grip and added safety. Rubber Safety Surfaces are fast becoming the new industry standard when it comes to surfacing for splash pads. They can substantially decrease the chances for injury, which also lowers liability issues that come from unexpected slips and falls.  The increase in traction helps to eliminate tripping hazards and also delivers comfort to anyone walking on bare feet. Overall, a rubber surface optimizes the aesthetics of the park while it minimizes injuries.
 
Getting the right contractor for your Rubber Surfacing is crucial for obtaining the desired results.  There are a lot of very common mistakes that arise from improperly installed Rubber surfacing on municipal projects. One of the most common mistakes is the de-lamination of water play surfaces.  This is when a Rubber Surface separates itself and tears away from the substrata. Improper base installation, along with ground movement, debris, low quality rubber, can cause cracking, flaking and chipping. Smoothing of the rubber is another concern that is brought on by water, foot traffic, and sand.

There are many ways to address these concerns and avoid them altogether. Knowledge, skill, and experience in regard to all the products available on the market are important. Selecting the proper materials and the right climate for installation are just a few items that can help to avoid repairs down the road that can extend the life of a Rubber Surface.
