Five Outstanding Advantages Of Using GRAVITY EPDM For Sports Floor

Outdoor sports fields using EPDM rubber granules are very popular today. So what are the attractive factors that make the difference of GRAVITY EPDM flooring for sports fields?

Seamless

One of the significant benefits of the EPDM Floor is that it is entirely seamless. It is perfectly uniform because the floor covering has been poured into place. Even though the rubber pad underlay includes joints as it is laid out as rolls to form its base, the poured surface seamlessly seals it, creating an appealing homogenous look.

Resistant

The construction of this type of poured flooring system makes it highly durable and capable of resisting heavy loads. Unlike flooring options that integrate a foam layer, this rubber component provides high resistance to heavy equipment such as scissor lifts, bleachers, tables, etc. This flooring system has both high tensile strength and tear strength. This makes it ideal for facilities that may want to host events and other multi-purpose activities.

Shock absorption

The 100% recycled rubber base mat not only makes this floor covering resistant but also resilient. The rubber acts as a shock pad thanks to its specific zone shock-absorbing properties (point-elastic). It will ensure that the surface is less demanding on the user’s joints, significantly benefiting them. Furthermore, the rubber mat component is also offered in different thicknesses to better adjust to your requirements.

Wear factors

Why the difference in color between the wear layer and the topcoat? Shouldn’t they match to hide any emerging sign of wear? This is the mistake that we must avoid! The color difference creates an opportunity to identify the first signs of wear, which signals that the surface needs resurfacing. Since the wear changes the friction properties of your playing surface, proper maintenance becomes essential for both optimal playability and safety for users, even if this means reconditioning the surface. In addition, the color differentiation between the two layers helps the installer ensure uniform coverage of the topcoat.

Maintenance

Two other advantages come from an EPDM floor being seamless and non-porous. It is more hygienic and straightforward to clean. Just as you replace your winter coat when it gets worn and no longer resists the elements, this flooring allows us to replace only the topcoat without affecting the rubber base mat and the wear layer.
