Wet-pour soft surfacing

Wet-pour is mixed on site and poured into place by our dedicated contact team. It is completely porous and is composed of rubber granules mixed with polyurethane binder to give a strong, firm chemical bond. The base layer (impact absorbing layer) is composed of thick, chunky rubber granules, while the top layer of smaller granules is screeded and hand rolled to provide a tough wearing course. It can be laid on top of existing Bitmac or concrete areas providing that they are porous and well draining. In new construction, the wet-pour, is laid directly on top of a MOT type 1 stone base, without the need for an expensive layer of Bitmac or concrete, unlike other types of surfacing such as tiles.
