Wet Pour Play Surfaces

Wet pour play surfaces are a popular choice for playgrounds, schools, and nurseries due to their safety benefits, durability, and low maintenance requirements. As a leading provider of synthetic turf solutions, Synthetic Turf Management offers high-quality wet pour play surfaces that meet the needs of various clients.

What is a Wet Pour Play Surface?

A wet pour play surface is a type of rubber surfacing made from a mixture of rubber and polyurethane. It is poured onto a surface and allowed to cure, creating a seamless and non-slip finish. The surface is designed to provide a safe and durable area for children to play, exercise, and socialise.

Benefits of Wet Pour Play Surfaces

Wet pour surfaces offer more than meets the eye:

  • Safety: These surfaces meet stringent safety standards, making them ideal for playgrounds where children need protection from falls.

  • Sustainability: Many wet pour surfaces use recycled materials, helping to reduce the environmental footprint of playgrounds.

  • Customisation: With endless colour and pattern possibilities, the surface can be turned into a multi-functional, vibrant space that supports imaginative play and athletic development.

The dual-layer structure of these surfaces (shock-absorbent base and colourful top layer) helps protect children from injuries while offering opportunities for aesthetic and functional design.


When comparing wet pour surfaces to traditional playground materials like rubber tiles or artificial grass, wet pour surfaces consistently come out ahead in terms of longevity, safety, and creative potential. Rubber tiles may shift or crack over time, while artificial grass can wear out in high-traffic areas. Wet pour surfaces, in contrast, provide a seamless, customisable surface that can withstand heavy usage and environmental stress without sacrificing safety or aesthetics.

Wet pour play surfaces offer excellent long-term value. Though the upfront costs might be higher than rubber tiles or artificial grass, wet pour durability and low maintenance needs make it the more cost-effective solution over time.
