the good stuff
Functional. Safe. Cost-effective.
Safety and Warranty
Safety you can count on.
Bouncy Bond is perfect where play equipment may have potential fall heights; Therefore, for complete peace of mind, Bouncy Bond has been tested in accordance with BS EN1177:2018 to confirm ‘Critical Fall Height’ performances.
Before and After
From tired patch to play magnet.
Colour options
Your Playground. Your Colours
From fresh green to warm redwood, use colour to define zones or frame equipment.
Colour Transfer
Bouncy Bond is derived from recycled SBR industrial tyres utilising a polyurethane colorant as a coating. The surface colour will eventually fade and the colour will wear off leaving a darker shade of rubber. The surface is still extremely safe as it won’t have lost it’s structural integrity and will still comply with BS EN1177:2018.wWith this in mind, Bouncy Bond is ideal for areas where older children will play such as Primary Schools where darker footwear is worn.If you consider that this may be an issue, we politely direct you to our Wet Pour Surfaces page.

Once laid, when can the children play upon it?
This surface is ready for play 48 hours after it is installed, providing a rigid but soft play surface which cannot be kicked around, therefore ensuring an even depth of play surfacing consistently over the entire area
What is usually involved with the application of a Bonded Rubber safety surface?
Quite a lot, but our team perform these installations regularly so they know what they are doing. Once initial observations have been considered e.g. drainage, product selection and access etc. we then look at the process outlined below.
Here is a brief rundown of what may be involved, the photos below and video above show an example of an installation:
- Removal of existing surface, turf, gravel or soil using a turf cutter, concrete breaker or maybe a mini digger. (This may not be necessary if we are bonding onto a hard surface)
- Dispose of the above in a skip or ‘muckaway’ service
- Level area and install tanalised timbers or Rubber Border Edging to the surrounds if required
- Import into the area the MOT Type 1 to be used as a sub-base
- Mechanically compact the sub-base with a ‘wacker plate’
- Apply a heavy duty Geotextile Membrane to help prevent weed growth and secure
- Mix on-site the Rubber and Resin in our special forced action mixer and apply at the specified depth to the area by hand
- Roll the area to achieve the perfect finish
