Rubber Paving
RUBBER PAVING
Rubber Paving is the fastest growing concrete coating in the North American market right now for many reasons and we want you to know everything about it so that you as a consumer can make an informed decision based on more than a number.
A SMARTER INVESTMENT
Extremely versatile and ideal for outdoor spaces. Rubber paving, often referred to as Pour In Place Rubber, has a wide range of applications. Whether you are seeking to resurface cracked and esteriorated surfaces, or simply want to ensure your concrete is slip-resistant, Rubber Paving is the smart choice.
Also referred to as Pour-In-Place-Rubber, a seamless surfacing system made from recycled rubber granules bound together with a high-performance polyurethane resin. Once installed, it cures into a dense, yet flexible surface that combines durability with impact absorption and long-term weather resistance.
Unlike rigid materials such as concrete or asphalt, rubber paving retains some elasticity after curing. This flexibility allows the surface to respond to movement, temperature fluctuation, and substrate shifting without cracking or spalling.
Rubber Paving is ideal for deteriorating slabs and any surface where safety is of utmost importance.
Key Features
Rubber paving is defined by a combination of mechanical flexibility and surface durability:
-
Crack resistance: Flexes with substrate movement rather than fracturing
-
Slip resistance: High-friction surface texture, even in wet or icy conditions
-
Impact absorption: Energy-dissipating structure reduces force from falls or dropped objects
-
Freeze–thaw stability: Porous structure reduces damage from water expansion cycles
-
Sound dampening: Rubber composition naturally reduces impact noise
-
UV stability (with proper topcoat systems): Maintains color and structural integrity under sun exposure
A defining characteristic of rubber paving is its permeability. The material is designed to allow water to pass through, rather than pooling on top. This reduces ice formation, surface erosion, and hydrostatic pressure buildup beneath the installation.

At less than half the cost of ripping out and replacing your concrete slab and benefits that outweigh a new pour, Rubber Paving is the clear choice.
Rubber paving is typically installed over a stable substrate such as a compacted aggregate base, existing concrete, asphalt surfaces, or wood and composite substructures.
Surfaces such as:
-
Pedestrian walkways and access routes
-
Recreational and athletic surfaces
-
Pool surrounds and wet-area surfacing
-
Ramp systems requiring slip resistance
-
Overlay systems for deteriorated concrete or asphalt
-
Noise-sensitive surfaces where impact reduction is beneficial
-
Light-duty vehicle or equipment access areas (system dependent)
Playgrounds
Rubber Paving is also the leading choice for Playgrounds. The thickness is increased from that of a driveway to adhere to shock resistance standards and create a safe play space. In addition to all of the weather, durability and use benefits listed above Rubber Paving is also a perfect fit for all types of user accessibility needs.
