GTA Safety Surfacing

General information

What is Rubaroc?

Often initially confused with cork, Rubaroc is a rubber surfacing that can be applied in both indoor and outdoor environments. Made of high-quality EPDM rubber granules combined with a specially formulated urethane resin, Rubaroc is a virtually indestructible, non-slip surface that looks fantastic.

Can Rubaroc be applied over cracks in concrete or asphalt?

Yes! Even severe cracks can be filled and covered with Rubaroc without too much concern for tearing. Minor cracks and expansion joints are easily covered and never seen again! Your GTA Safety Surfacing representative will inspect any existing cracks and advise on how to best handle them.

Can Rubaroc be applied on stair risers?

Yes! The process is similar to applying Rubaroc on a flat surface and can create a seamless look top to bottom.

How long does it take to install?

Installation time can vary depending on design complexity or use of multiple colours etc., but the average pool deck, patio or porch is done in a day.

How soon can I walk on it?

Several factors affect curing time - primarily temperature and humidity. For outdoor projects in the summer months, Rubaroc installations are generally usable within 24 hours. In the spring and fall, that may extend to 48 hours. Your GTA Safety Surfacing representative can advise in more detail at the time of installation.

Is the rubber surfacing slippery when wet? �

The rubber itself combined with a slightly textured surface ensures Rubaroc is non-slip even when wet, much like a rubber bath mat.
