Certified, trained installers apply Rubapave . There are usually two installers and one mixer on site depending on the size of the installation. The rubber granules arrive in bags and the resin in buckets. It is then mixed and hand-trowelled on site to the specifications of the client. Rubapave members have access to a variety of training tools and videos to ensure successful installation.
Rubapave has standard rubber surfacing colours for your convenience, however, custom mixes are also available. View all of available colours and mixes here.
Rubapave is cooler than concrete and tarmac in the heat of summer because the pores trap moisture and create airflow that helps retain its low surface temperature. Because of the nature of rubber it does not absorb heat or cold like cement or rock products do.
The color of your surface will also affect the temperature of your surface. Lighter colors, like white and beige, absorb less heat than darker colors, like black or dark grey.
Rubapave has undergone many tests over the years including UV stability, critical fall heights, stain resistance and fungus & bacteria growth. Each test has passed with flying colors. All Rubapave rubber surfacing materials have ISO 9002 certification and have been tested by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF).
Rubber safety surfaces require regular cleaning. Pressure washing is the most commonly used procedure for cleaning rubber surfaces. Sometimes mild soap and water sprayed with the garden hose is all that is necessary. For stubborn stains, Rubapave offers a product called Rubaclean of which you can ask your installer for cleaning instructions.
Because Rubapave is a rubber-based material, cutting out the damaged area and re-pouring the safety rubber and resin mixture will make repairs to the surface easy, un-noticeable and aesthetically pleasing. A certified rubber safety surface installer usually performs this function. Repairs are un-noticeable with Rubapave and the new material blends in with the original surface.
