EPDM seamless flooring can follow a site’s shape and incorporate colour or activity markings. Bonita Landscape discusses its use for playgrounds and recreational spaces in Hong Kong, then advises on materials, supply and installation according to the actual site.
Discuss activity zones, access and the intended users of the space.
Residential playgrounds
Consider play equipment, circulation and daily management.
Recreational spaces
Plan surface areas and markings around the proposed activities.
PLAN WITH THE SITE
What to discuss before installation
Existing ground
Review the substrate, level changes and connections to nearby facilities.
Use and layout
Consider activity types, dimensions, colour and markings.
Drainage and upkeep
Include outdoor drainage, cleaning and maintenance in the proposal.
RELATED OPTIONS
Choose for the intended use
A continuous EPDM surface, shock-absorbing mats and artificial turf serve different needs. The right approach depends on the existing ground, equipment, activity and maintenance requirements.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions to consider
Where may EPDM flooring be considered?
It can be considered for school playgrounds, children’s activity areas and recreational spaces. Suitability depends on the actual site and intended use.
Can it be laid directly over an old surface?
That cannot be assumed. The existing substrate, level and drainage need to be assessed before an installation approach is agreed.
