Wet Pour
Wet pour is a dual layer porous system, that has a continuous finish, our wet-pour surface can be used in play areas, golf walkways, MUGA’s and can be installed onto flat, mounted or ramped structures.
Wet pour can be installed onto various sub bases, MOT Type 1 being the most common, but existing hard surfaces such as macadam and concrete can be easily utilised. Hard surfacing as a sub-base is recommended on sites where a nominal safety surface depth is required, due to low, or no CFH. The hard surfacing is then ‘Primed’ to ensure adhesion between the two surfaces, creating a stronger end product.
The base is manufactured from recycled SBR rubber crumb which is bonded using a urethane resin. This course varies in depth depending on the Critical Fall Height of the play equipment.
The top layer comes in a variety of colours. Black finish is cheaper than colours. Wet pour can form fantastic shapes by mixing the colours or appying pre-formed shapes.
The installation process is carried out by professional and experience installers.
The Wet pour we supply is tested to BS EN 1177 and is laid in accordance with BS 5696: part 3. It meets all the necessary performance criteria up to a CFH of 3.2m.
Maintenance
Wet Pour is generally a maintenance free product. If the porosity of the surface reduces due to a build up of grime, etc, a power hose can be used. A small area should be tested first to assess the required pressure. Specialised clearing materials can be obtained from us. This is generally only needed if the surface is left for a period of months, under a build up of rubbish such as degrading waste paper and decaying foliage.
N.B. it is recommended that any overhanging tree branches should be cut back as far as possible to allow sunlight on to the surface. This would prevent a coating of sap or any other associated fungal growth occurring.
