Wet Pour rubber safety surfacing is suitable for playground installations where impact absorbent surfacing is a requirement up to the appropriate Maximum Free Fall Height (see chart below). It can be used around complex configurations of playground equipment and ground contours.

Wet Pour surfacing for playgrounds is slip-resistant and non-abrasive to young children. It is porous, so no puddles.

Colourful graphics can be created within the Wet Pour for games or emblems. This is done by designing a stencil and cutting out the top layer colour to replace it with contrasting colours.

Monstermulch have tried and tested many supply sources for wetpour materials over the decades. We have the aquired expertise to know which materials perform well and which perform poorly over the expected life of a wetpour surface.

We can supply and install or we can supply with all technical information you may need to know.

The Monstermulch materials have the following qualities:-

• Manufactured in the UK.
• High spread rate volume to weight ratio, thus cheaper per kg
• High elasticity.
• Less filler such as calcium carbonate
• Full fade resistant colour
• Quotes and methods provided
• Installation service available

1) Solid sub base & border is required
2) It is pourous
3) Mix and lay base crumb (10% resin)
4) Mix and lay EPDM top (20% resin)
5) Allow 12 hours for each layer to cure

The required sub bases for wetpour (minimum quatities)

1. Concrete or open-textured tarmac
2. MOT Type 1 stone (50mm or more)

The Standard Wetpour Method (2 layer process)
We would recommend ordering approx. 4% contingency.

The base layer provides the safety cushion effect. It is recycled 2-6mm crumb bonded rubber, mixed on site using special equipment and laid to exacting standards usually 30-50mm with 10% resin. It is relatively cheap costing about £14 per square metre at 30mm (£4.5 per 10mm approx) .

The top EPDM layer (minimum quatities). Recommeded to be 20mm with 20% resin.  It is a specifically manufactured polymer of  1-4mm granules designed to be very hard wearing and colourfull. It is more expensive at about £45 per square metre depending upon which colour.
