Project Background

Working with Leighton Linslade Town Council, FLEX installed safety surfacing across four separate recreation and park locations.

 

At one of the locations, the team installed Rubber Mulch, a porous surfacing system made from blended, colour-coated SBR tyre granules and shred, combined with a flexible, moisture-curing polyurethane binder.

Prep Work and Process

The existing surfacing was removed before the new Rubber Mulch system was installed at an average depth of 40mm.

 

A greater depth was applied beneath the play equipment to help manage increased wear in these higher-use areas.

 

To achieve the natural appearance requested by the client, the Rubber Mulch was installed directly up to the surrounding grass edge, creating a finish that complements the outdoor environment.

 

The client selected Mahogany Red for the completed surface.

The Result

The completed installation has created a bright and practical play surface designed for long-term use.

 

Rubber Mulch provides a cost-effective alternative to wet pour systems while offering a more durable and visually appealing solution than traditional materials such as wooden bark chippings.
