SS-1500 - Polymeric surfacing
The Type 3 polymeric surfacing material is commonly installed in schools and is designed to have a high slip resistance rating for netball. The polymeric system is made up of EPDM rubber crumb granules which are mixed together with a binder and then laid onto a macadam base. An anti slip paint coating is then applied to give the stable playing characteristics and the rubber EPDM polymeric surface gives the sports surface a cushioned underfoot feel. Line markings can also be applied to the polymeric surfacing contrasting coloured non slip paint to distinguish between the different sports which the facility will be used for.
SS-1550 - Tarmac surfacing
Macadam surfacing is commonly used to surface our Multi-use games area pitches, and also to provide a hard standing playing surface is playgrounds, schools and nurseries.
