Welcome to FLEXSplash
Safety Flooring for Splash Pads, Spray Parks and Interactive Water features
FlexFlooring Ltd offers the perfect solution for those looking for a safe, stylish and seamless surface for splash pads, spray parks and paddling pools. Our brightly coloured non-slip floors compliment interactive water features perfectly and crucially provide a safe environment for children to play. They are specifically designed to reduce the incidence of wet/slip accidents and we conform to the PWTAG advisory guidelines; the key one which states that the surface used must be anti-slip and resistant to the chemicals used.
We have 5 years experience of installing safety surfacing for Splash pads and spray parks both privately and publicly funded and have created the perfect product for these high traffic areas. Rubbaflex SPLASH is a unique blend of EPDM granules of varying sizes which create a strong breathable surface that can deal with the rigours of high foot traffic, as well as performing well even when in continual contact with water.
Our two products are…
RubbaFLEX Pool surrounds
UltraTUFF™
Which product is right for you?
Whilst we currently recommend our Rubbaflex Splash surface, our two products are not mutually exclusive and often it will be down to the finish you are after and or the colour you prefer. However, there are a few key differences:
- Rubbaflex primarily consists of a rubber granule bound with a resin, UltraTUFF™ is a paint which incorporates a rubber crumb.
- UltraTUFF™ is a paint which is installed using a spray gun (we recommend 2 coats for most installations), Rubbaflex Pool Surround is hand trowelled to a depth of 6mm.
- Rubbaflex allows you to mix different coloured granules together or add a colour fleck, whereas UltraTUFF™ comes in single colours.
- UltraTUFF™has a finish that is slightly textured and the finish of Rubbaflex is completely smooth.
- Rubbaflex is a porous surface, which can allow water to flow through it, UltraTUFF™ is completely non-porous and so is great for changing rooms and other semi-wet areas.
- UltraTUFF™ can be used underwater, for example as an internal pool finish.

Surface Preparation
Key to any successful installation is the preparation of the substrate and we offer a full surface preparation service. We are therefore happy to provide you with a cost for surface preparation and undertake this aspect of the project.
Our own experience has shown that the correct preparation can significantly increase the life of our Rubbaflex Splash surface and given the large investment required for any splash pad installation, we only install onto surfaces prepared to our specification:
- New concrete that has been fully cured for a minimum of 21-28 days in normal conditions.
- Existing concrete: Subject to site visit and dependent on previous surface finish.
