EPDM poured flooring: innovations, standards and tailor-made solutions for your indoor and outdoor projects

Safety, aesthetics and durability are now essential requirements in the design of outdoor and indoor spaces. EPDM poured flooring is the go-to solution for meeting these challenges, particularly in environments that welcome the public, children or users with varying degrees of mobility.

Used for playgrounds, schoolyards, terraces, pool decks, and urban spaces, this shock-absorbing surface combines fall protection, comfort, and creative freedom. Thanks to its anti-slip properties, weather resistance and durability, EPDM flooring is a reliable and long-lasting choice that complies with current safety standards.

At Resin’Architecte, we design and install customised EPDM poured floors, tailored to the technical, aesthetic and regulatory requirements of each project. From the initial study to professional installation, we support local authorities, professionals and private individuals with our expert approach.

Why choose EPDM poured flooring for your projects?

EPDM poured flooring is much more than just a covering. It meets high standards of safety, durability and design, while offering great adaptability to a wide variety of uses. This type of flooring is a reliable and long-lasting solution for projects requiring technical performance and aesthetic value.

Optimal safety for all uses

Safety is a key consideration when designing spaces open to the public. EPDM flooring is designed to absorb shocks and limit the risk of injury in the event of a fall. It complies with current European standards, in particular EN 1177 and EN 1176, guaranteeing protection suitable for playgrounds, schools and sports facilities.

Thanks to its non-slip surface and stability, it remains comfortable and safe, even in wet conditions or when heavily used. This level of safety significantly reduces everyday accidents, while reassuring managers, local authorities and users.

Exceptional durability over time

Designed to withstand the most demanding conditions, EPDM flooring retains its performance and aesthetic appeal over the years. Its resistance to UV rays, weathering and temperature variations preserves the intensity of colours and the integrity of the surface, even outdoors.

Maintenance is deliberately limited in order to simplify space management. Regular cleaning is sufficient to keep the floor in excellent condition, without the need for heavy treatment or complex intervention. The use of high-quality aliphatic resin guarantees excellent durability over time and longevity suitable for intensive use.

Unlimited customisation

EPDM poured flooring offers almost total creative freedom. A wide range of colours allows you to play with colours, contrasts and atmospheres, whether playful, natural or contemporary. It is also possible to incorporate customised patterns, floor games, pathways or specific graphic elements.

This customisation allows each project to be adapted to its environment and audience, whether it is to create a soothing atmosphere for a retirement home or a dynamic and playful space for a playground.

Applications for EPDM poured flooring: where and how to use it?

Thanks to its versatility and technical performance, EPDM poured flooring is suitable for a wide range of environments, both indoors and outdoors. It meets the specific requirements of each space while offering safety, comfort and aesthetic appeal.

For playgrounds and educational spaces

EPDM poured flooring is particularly popular for playgrounds, school playgrounds, nurseries and educational establishments. Its shock absorption capacity makes it possible to secure fall zones and limit the risk of injury, while complying with current safety standards.

Beyond safety considerations, this flooring stimulates learning and imagination through playful customisation. Floor games, obstacle courses, stimulating shapes and colours can be integrated directly into this flexible flooring, creating spaces that are both educational and attractive for children.

For terraces and poolside areas

Outdoors, EPDM flooring is an ideal solution for terraces and pool decks. Its non-slip surface provides excellent grip, even when wet, reducing the risk of slipping.

Comfortable underfoot and resistant to climatic variations, it offers an attractive alternative to traditional floor coverings. The wide range of finishes available allows you to create elegant, harmonious and pleasant spaces, both in private and professional settings.

For public spaces and urban developments

EPDM poured flooring meets the requirements of public spaces subject to heavy use. It is perfectly suited to squares, pedestrian areas, walkways and the surroundings of public facilities, where durability and accessibility are essential.

Its resistance to wear and tear and its ability to blend into a landscaped environment make it a suitable choice for urban projects. It also helps to improve ease of movement, particularly for people with reduced mobility.

How is EPDM poured flooring installed?

The quality and durability of an EPDM poured floor largely depend on how well it is installed. Each step is essential to ensure a high-performance, safe surface that blends in perfectly with its surroundings.

Step 1: Preparing the surface

Before any application, an analysis of the existing substrate is carried out to ensure its suitability. The floor is cleaned, repaired and prepared to guarantee perfect adhesion of the EPDM coating.

This phase allows the installation to be adapted to different types of substrates, such as concrete, asphalt or other compatible surfaces. Rigorous preparation is essential to ensure the stability and longevity of the poured floor.

Step 2: Choosing materials and finishes

The choice of materials is crucial in meeting usage requirements and aesthetic expectations. EPDM granules, colours, thicknesses and finishes are selected based on traffic, the level of safety required and the environment.

Technical support is provided to determine the most suitable solution for each project, taking into account standards, expected performance and the desired visual effect.

Step 3: Professional installation of EPDM poured flooring

EPDM flooring is installed by qualified applicators using a proven methodology. After applying the underlay, the EPDM coating is poured and spread evenly to achieve a smooth, continuous surface.

This controlled application ensures a neat finish, with no visible joints, and optimal resistance to mechanical and climatic stresses.

Step 4: Maintenance and durability of the coating

Once in place, EPDM poured flooring requires little maintenance. Simple, regular cleaning helps to preserve its aesthetic and functional qualities.

In the event of localised wear or changes in usage, renovation solutions can be implemented to extend the life of the flooring without complete replacement. This approach helps to optimise the investment in the long term.
