Rubber flooring was developed precisely to reduce this risk, as it possesses properties that... impact absorption, helping to protect children while they play.
In addition, the material also offers:
- non-slip surface
- greater comfort while walking
- resistance to constant use
What does the ABNT NBR 16.071 standard say?
In Brazil, playground safety is regulated by... ABNT NBR 16.071, which establishes technical criteria for impact equipment and surfaces.
This regulation defines parameters that help reduce the risk of injury from falls, especially with equipment up to approximately 1.2 meters high.
Therefore, using appropriate flooring is an essential measure to ensure the safety of the space.
Difference between EPDM and SBR flooring
There are two main types of rubber flooring used in playgrounds.
SBR Flooring
Produced from recycled tire granules, SBR is a durable and economical solution.
It is primarily recommended for indoor areas or locations with less sun exposure.
EPDM flooring
EPDM is composed of colored rubber granules, with high resistance to UV rays and climatic variations.
Therefore, it is more suitable for outdoor areas, because it retains its colors for much longer and offers greater durability.
Advantages of monolithic flooring
Monolithic flooring is not made up of slabs or sheets. It is applied directly on-site, forming a continuous surface.
Among its main advantages are:
- absence of amendments
- homogeneous visual
- greater durability
- better drainage of rainwater
- easy maintenance and cleaning
Furthermore, the material can be applied in different shapes and colors, allowing for creative and personalized designs.
