EPDM Mulch | Playground Rubber Mulch

Playground Rubber Mulch with a Range of Vibrant Colour Blends that Remain Brighter for Longer.

What is EPDM Mulch?

Made from Virgin Rubber Shred and not recycled tyres, the colour of EPDM Mulch does not rub off over time and there are no carbon or toxins released. Therefore, we recommend EPDM Mulch for use in Nurseries and Pre School sites where traditional SBR playground rubber mulch is not suitable.

EPDM Mulch is also recommended for Councils, Parks, Schools, and Housing Developments. An effective alternative to loose fill, EPDM is more durable with less maintenance required.

Case Study

Studley Infants School

The PlaySmart team completed this outdoor space for early years students at the Studley Infants School, Warwickshire.

The area became very boggy and muddy in wet weather, preventing use. So the school wanted a vibrant area useable all year round. EPDM Mulch was their chosen solution for the new rubber mulch play area, as it offers all-weather usage with greater grip and traction compared to wetpour.

Safety

The bonded rubber provides excellent slip resistance while being fully wheelchair and buggy accessible. We can install EPDM Mulch at a range of fully certified depths to provide fall protection to suit your requirements.

Applications

EPDM Mulch rubber mulch is used in areas such as parks, play areas and public spaces and also on pathways, mounds, embankments and erosion control areas.

Additionally, we are finding it is increasingly popular as an overlay surfacing solution to cover old and damaged wetpour or SBR Rubber Mulch.
