Colourful safety surfacing that schools and resorts actually play on.
Poured-in-place EPDM rubber for impact safety, plus 4soft 2D floor graphics, 3D shapes and EPDM furniture for play and learning. One seamless surface, one accountable supplier — engineered for monsoon climates and busy campuses.
Two materials, one continuous floor.
EPDM safety surfacing
Poured-in-place. An SBR base layer absorbs impact, an EPDM wear layer holds the colour, and an aliphatic PU binder ties it all together. Seamless, porous, UV-stable, and inclusive — wheelchair, walker and prosthetic-friendly with no trip joints.
- 15–110 mm total thickness scaled to fall height
- Full EPDM colour range, mixed to any pattern
- Porous monsoon drainage — no standing water
- Inclusive / ADA-compliant transitions
4soft graphic components
EPDM and polyurethane graphic elements that turn a plain safety floor into a play and learning environment. 2D floor graphics, 3D raised shapes, EPDM furniture, and early-years pieces — over 2,500 prefab designs, plus a free bespoke design service.
- 2D graphic panels — hopscotch, sensory paths, sports lines
- 3D raised shapes — hills, mounds, stools, sculptures
- EPDM furniture — seats, tables, planters
- Early-years components for nursery and kindergarten
Configurable across schools, hotels and resorts.
Education
Curriculum-aligned floor graphics, sensory paths, sports markings, early-years play floors, outdoor classrooms — sequenced into summer-break windows so term-time isn't disrupted.
Education solutions →Hospitality
Kids-club floors, splash-pad surrounds, lobby family zones, F&B family-experience floors, pool decks — themed to the brand and tested for the climate.

Thickness
15–110 mm — scaled to critical fall height per EN 1177 / ASTM F1292.
Base layer
SBR rubber granules bound with aliphatic PU — energy absorption.
Wear layer
EPDM granules bound with aliphatic PU — UV-stable colour.
Drainage
Porous; sub-base falls designed to carry water clear of play zones.
Standards
EN 1177 (EU) and ASTM F1292 (US) impact-attenuation tested.
Maintenance
Annual third-party safety inspection contract on every installed project.

What operators and schools ask before signing.
What critical fall height does EPDM cover?
Total system thickness is scaled to the play equipment fall height — typically 15 mm for circulation paths up to ~110 mm for the highest 3 m EN 1177 / ASTM F1292 fall-height ratings. We do the calculation as part of the survey.
How long does the surface last in Bangkok / Southeast Asia climate?
A correctly installed EPDM system using aliphatic PU binder and UV-stable granules typically lasts 8–12 years before re-coat. The base SBR layer is normally good for the life of the installation.
Can 4soft graphics be added to an existing EPDM surface?
Yes — both 2D graphic panels and 3D shapes can be retrofitted onto an existing EPDM playground without re-pouring the base, as long as the substrate is sound.
How does it drain in monsoon conditions?
The system is porous by design — rainwater drains straight through to the sub-base, so puddling is eliminated. We design the sub-base falls to carry water clear of play zones.
How is it repaired if a section is damaged?
EPDM is patch-repairable. We keep the colour batch on file for every project so a localised repair colour-matches the surrounding area.
What is the typical lead time?
From signed brief: 6–8 weeks for design + 4soft graphic fabrication, plus 1–2 weeks on site for the pour and graphic install (weather-dependent).
