Sustainable flexible flooring
Seamless flooring made from recycled footwear rubber for playgrounds, sports courts and pedestrian areas. Less weight per project, no odours and encapsulated colour.
01 — Systems
Each application has its own composition and material requirements: base and surface systems for playgrounds and pedestrian areas, and CUSHION compositions for sports courts.
Seamless system for walkways, pedestrian routes, cycle lanes and urban traffic, with a mineral wearing course over an acrylic primer.
Play areas with high impact absorption, free from contaminants and odours. The base thickness is determined by the fall height.
Sports courts with two multilayer compositions: five-layer CUSHION 5 and seven-layer CUSHION 7. Acrylic methacrylate finish and shredded footwear layers.
02 — Benefits
Six differences installers notice on site, not in a catalogue: less weight, less odour, less mess and a cleaner finish.
Better impact absorption and greater comfort with every step, with more uniform elastic performance.
Recycled and treated material, free from compounds typically found in tyres: a cleaner environment in schools and playgrounds.
Lower density: less material and less weight to transport to cover exactly the same area.
Discarded footwear returns to the production cycle instead of being destroyed, and each project involves moving far less weight.
No metal or textile remnants. The elastic and coloured layers are easier to lay and require less finishing work.
Vivid, uniform shades, with colour encapsulated within the granules for a more stable finish.
03 — Process
Six steps from post-industrial footwear waste to the finished surface. All material processing takes place before it reaches your site.
Footwear and post-industrial waste that would otherwise be destroyed.
Size reduction and separation of unusable components.
The material becomes clean granules, free of wire and fibres.
Screening and grading by particle size to suit the intended layer.
Colouring and mixing with the resin binder that holds the system together.
On-site laying of the base layer and coloured top layer over a firm substrate.

05 — Finishes
Colour encapsulated within the granules: not a surface coating, so the shade withstands use and weather. Other shades available on request.
Physical samples
The fifteen shades above were photographed from the actual sample panel we take to sites and trade fairs. On-screen colour reproduction is indicative: if your project requires a specific shade, we send a physical sample before manufacturing.

The questions installers most often ask before their first project. If your question is not here, contact us and our technical department will help.
The base layer thickness is determined by the equipment's fall height, following the impact attenuation criteria of EN 1177. In the calculator, choose the base thickness (4.5 kg/m² per 10 mm) plus a 10 mm top layer (6.5 kg/m²). Tell us the height and we will advise on the system.
Not by default. The base result is the theoretical quantity based on density and thickness. You can add a wastage allowance with the slider for trimming, slopes, finishing and substrate levelling.
FLEX SHOE ROAD combines a polymer and mineral particle wearing course with SYNTHEFIX QUARTZ acrylic primer. In PARQUES ECO SOLES, binder is calculated as top layer × 0.23 + base layer × 0.12 (3.12 kg/m² with a 30 mm base). MULTISPORT ECOCOURT has its own products and quantities per layer: 1.75 kg/m² for CUSHION 5 and 2.95 kg/m² for CUSHION 7, including SYNTHEPRIMER EPW 201.
Usually concrete or asphalt: a firm, clean and stable substrate with appropriate slope and drainage. Primer and preparation depend on the substrate condition; we confirm these using the system's technical datasheets.
Curing depends on temperature and humidity on the installation day. As a typical guide, the surface remains out of use for 24 to 48 hours. The definitive time is stated in the supplied binder's technical datasheet.
Footwear granules have a lower density. For the same area and thickness, fewer kilograms are needed: over 30% less weight to transport and handle, according to our technical documentation.
The fifteen sample shades are normally available. Other colours can be considered on request, subject to minimum manufacturing quantities.
