Black recycled rubber goes where toughness matters and looks do not: garage floors, driveways and barn aisles. Coloured rubber is dearer, keeps its colour in sun, and goes on pool decks, patios and playgrounds. A coloured top over a black base is a common middle ground.
One day of pouring for a garage floor, driveway, patio or pool deck, then one to two days of curing. Playground and phased commercial work runs longer, and the timeline is fixed at the visit.
A sweep or a hose-down, and no sealing schedule at all. After many years of hard use the wear layer can be refreshed, and we say roughly when that is likely.
No. The slab and the air both have to be above a minimum temperature for the rubber to cure, and the Barrie season runs a little shorter than it does further south. If a cold snap arrives the date moves; a surface that will not cure is worse than a late one.
Slowly, as any outdoor surface does. Because the pigment is in the granule rather than on top, coloured rubber outlasts stained concrete or paint by a wide margin, and a UV-stable binder slows it further. Black rubber has nothing to lose.
No. Texture is built into the surface and does not change when it is soaked, which is why rubber surfacing is used around pools and on steps in the first place.
No. Road salt, de-icer, sand and dripped oil that pit bare concrete in one snowbelt winter sit on top of rubber surfacing and wipe or sweep off.
It depends on the job. A patio gets less than a driveway, and a driveway gets less than a playground under tall equipment. The thickness is set at the visit and written on the quote.
Usually. We carry a range of standard colours and can match or complement trim, landscaping or a neighbouring surface. Borders and patterns are extra and priced in writing.
The specification on the quote is the record of what was installed, and we stand behind the installation. Warranty terms vary with the surface and the material, and they are explained in writing before the pour.
Every page covers the material, the steps involved and what changes the price.
A Barrie pool deck spends four months wet and seven months frozen, and Barrie Rubber Surfacing covers that concrete or interlock with poured rubber surfacing that seals the cracks, keeps its grip when soaked, and rides out the winter without splitting. The old deck is not removed. It becomes the base, which is why the work takes days rather than weeks. The work is insured from start to finish.
