Estate Pools In Aurora Have Old Surrounds
The large lots in Aurora Estates, the Hills of St Andrew and the rural south-east came with pools when they were built in the 1990s and 2000s, and the stamped concrete and interlock around them is now smooth, cracked at the corners and slippery. Pool deck rubber surfacing seals the surround, flexes with it through the winter, and gives wet feet grip at the coping, where the slips happen.
Garage Floors Flake Where The Car Drips Until Rubber Surfacing Goes On
Night after winter night the parked car drips salt brine onto one spot of garage floor, where it soaks in and freezes, and by the third or fourth winter that spot is flaking away. Driveway and garage floor rubber surfacing closes the slab off, so the brine dries on the rubber and you sweep it out in spring instead of losing another layer of concrete.
Front Steps On A Moraine Hill Ice Over Early Without Rubber Surfacing
Aurora sits higher than Toronto and gets its first frost earlier, and a north-facing concrete step in Aurora Heights or Aurora Highlands holds ice for months. With rubber surfacing for patios, walkways and steps, every tread gets a face a boot can hold, and one poured piece has no edge to lift.
Playgrounds Are Rated By The Tallest Structure
Play equipment is built to a height, and whatever is underneath it has to catch a child falling from the top. Our playground safety surfacing is a deep cushioning base under a coloured top, sized to the tallest structure on your site and recorded on your quote.
A Home Gym On A Thin Basement Slab Needs Cushioning
The basements in the newer houses on the north-east side of town have a thin slab over a vapour barrier, and a dropped barbell will crack it. Poured rubber gym and fitness flooring soaks up the impact, quiets the thud that carries upstairs, and has no seams for a toe or a bench leg to catch.
Commercial Entrances On Yonge And Wellington Take A Winter Of Wet Boots
A storefront on Yonge Street, a clinic on Wellington or an office off the 404 takes thousands of wet, salted boots every week through the winter, and a polished threshold is where somebody falls and a claim follows. Commercial and equestrian rubber surfacing wraps the entrance and the ramp in one textured layer, poured in sections so your doors stay open, and does the same job down a barn aisle on the horse farms at the edge of town.
Nothing Gets Demolished With Rubber Surfacing
What rubber surfacing saves you, above all, is the tear-out that never happens. Your cracked surround, worn patio or pitted garage floor is cleaned, patched, primed and kept as the base. A concrete crew would need a week to break it out, haul it off, form and pour. We need a day or two.
Sandy Ground East Of Yonge, Clay Pockets West Of It
The moraine under the east side of Aurora is sand and gravel that drains almost as fast as rain lands on it, so slabs there stay dry but can settle at the edges. Parts of the west side and the older streets sit on heavier ground that keeps water and heaves when it freezes hard, so slabs there move more and get checked harder for cracks that are still growing. We say which one your property is on before we quote.
An Old Sealer Will Lift New Rubber Surfacing
If a rubber surface peels, the usual culprit is a sealer somebody applied years ago and nobody removed. The rubber grips the sealer fine; the sealer is what lets go of the concrete. The visit includes a check for it, and if it turns up, grinding it off appears on your quote.
The Right Rubber For The Surface
Your garage, driveway or barn aisle wants black recycled rubber: it is the cheaper material and nobody is looking at it. Your pool surround, patio or playground wants coloured rubber, dearer but colourfast in sun for years. Coloured over black is how many people get both.
