Park renovation and maintenance extends the lifespan of playground equipment and safety surfacing. Whether dealing with aging rubber flooring, damaged play structures or outdated designs, professional renovation restores safety and extends service life at a fraction of replacement cost.
When is Renovation Needed?
- Rubber surface damage: Cracks, delamination, color fading, hardening
- Equipment wear: Rust, loose bolts, broken components
- Safety standard updates: New EN 1176/1177 requirements not met
- Accessibility upgrade: Adding inclusive play elements
- Aesthetic refresh: Modernizing outdated playground appearance
Rubber Surface Renovation
Patch Repairs
Small damaged areas can be repaired without replacing the entire surface:
- Cut out damaged section to clean edges
- Prepare subfloor and apply primer
- Fill with matching EPDM rubber mix
- Blend edges with surrounding surface
- Cure for 24-48 hours before use
Surface Overlay
When damage is widespread but the base structure is sound:
- Clean and prime existing surface
- Apply new EPDM top layer over existing surface
- Minimum 10mm new layer required
- Restores appearance and safety performance
Complete Replacement
When the existing surface has reached end of life:
- Remove old rubber surface completely
- Inspect and repair subfloor
- Install new two-layer system (SBR base + EPDM top)
- Update fall protection to current EN 1177 standards
Equipment Renovation
