Stamped Concrete Patios From The 1990s Have Worn Smooth
Stonehaven, Summerhill and Woodland Hill went up through the 1990s and 2000s, and a great many of those backyards have a stamped concrete patio that has lost its texture and its sealer and now shines like glass after rain. Our patio, walkway and step surfacing goes directly over the stamped concrete, gives it a textured surface with grip, and covers the cracks that have opened along the pattern lines.
A Pool Deck Near The River Needs A Moisture Check First
Backyard pools are common through the south end of town, and the decks around them are twenty or thirty years old. A pool deck rubber surfacing job starts with a moisture test on the slab, because a deck on the low ground near the Holland River can be damp from underneath all summer, and the preparation has to account for that before the rubber goes down.
Salt Ruins A Garage Floor Faster Than Traffic, And Rubber Surfacing Stops It
A car parked in a Newmarket garage drips salt brine onto the same square of concrete every winter night, and after three or four winters the surface starts to flake. Driveway and garage floor rubber surfacing puts a sealed layer between the brine and the concrete, so spring brings a sweep-out instead of another layer of lost surface.
Playground Rubber Surfacing Is Rated By The Height Of The Equipment
Every play structure in a Newmarket schoolyard, daycare or park has a top, and the surface beneath it has to cushion a fall from there. Our playground safety surfacing puts a deep cushioning layer under a coloured finish, with the depth chosen for the tallest piece of equipment and noted on the quote.
A Basement Gym Floor Cracks Under A Dropped Barbell
Drop a loaded bar on the thin basement slab of a newer subdivision house and the concrete cracks. Our poured rubber gym and fitness flooring takes that hit instead, keeps the thud downstairs, and has no seams to trip on.
Commercial Entrances Along Davis Drive And Yonge Take A Beating
A clinic near Southlake, a storefront on Main Street or a plaza doorway on Davis Drive takes thousands of wet boots every week, and a worn threshold is where a slip ends in a claim. Commercial and equestrian rubber surfacing covers the entrance and the ramp with a single textured layer, installed in phases so the doors never close, and does the same for a barn aisle out in the horse country toward King.
Rubber Surfacing Leaves The Old Slab Where It Is
Rubber surfacing costs less than replacement for one reason: nothing gets demolished. Cracked deck, worn patio or pitted garage floor, whatever is there is cleaned, repaired as needed, primed, and left in place as the base. Breaking it out, hauling it away, forming and pouring would cost a concrete crew a week. It costs us a day or two.
Ground Water Is The Hidden Problem In Newmarket
Newmarket sits on the East Holland River, which is dammed downtown to make Fairy Lake and drains north into the Holland Marsh. The land near the river and its creeks holds water close to the surface, and a slab on that ground can be damp from underneath for months. Rubber surfacing needs a dry bond, so we test the slab for moisture at the visit and, where it is wet, the quote says what has to happen before the pour.
Old Sealer Will Peel New Rubber Surfacing Off
A rubber surface that lifts at the edges has usually been poured over a sealer nobody removed. Rubber sticks to sealer well enough; it is the sealer that parts from the concrete. The visit includes a test, and a positive result puts grinding on the quote ahead of any pour.
Black Rubber Or Coloured Rubber Depends On The Surface
For a garage floor, a driveway or a barn aisle, black recycled rubber is the answer: it costs less and nobody is looking at it. For a pool deck, a patio or a playground, coloured rubber is the answer, because it holds its colour in sun for years. Where both matter, a coloured wear layer goes over a black base.
