Playground Safety Coatings
in Edmonton
Safe, cushioned, and colourful surfaces for playgrounds, parks, and schools.
Donnelly Developments, formerly Armour Floor Coating, installs professional rubber safety surfacing for playgrounds, school grounds, parks, and recreational areas across Edmonton and surrounding communities. Our playground coatings deliver the impact attenuation, slip resistance, and vibrant colour that high-traffic play environments demand — while holding up to Edmonton’s demanding outdoor conditions.
WHY RUBBER SAFETY SURFACING?
Impact Attenuation:
Rubber surfacing cushions falls, reducing the risk and severity of playground injuries. EPDM rubber can be engineered to meet specific fall-height safety standards required for playground equipment.
Slip Resistance:
The textured rubber surface provides excellent traction in wet conditions, critical in a climate that sees rain, snow, and frost.
Wheelchair Accessible:
Rubber surfacing creates a smooth, stable, CAN-compliant surface that supports mobility aids, making play areas more inclusive.
Durable in All Seasons:
Unlike concrete, which cracks in freeze-thaw cycles, or asphalt, which softens in summer heat, rubber surfacing maintains its performance year-round.
Low Maintenance:
Easy to sweep and rinse. No loose fill to replenish. No raking. No compaction issues.
Colour and Design:
EPDM colour granules are UV-stable and fade-resistant. Custom colour patterns, designs, and graphics are available.
IDEAL APPLICATIONS
- School and daycare playgrounds
- Municipal and community parks
- Splash pad surrounds
- Fitness and outdoor gym areas
- Sports courts and multi-use surfaces
- Childcare facility outdoor areas
- Accessible pathways within play areas
MATERIALS
We use EPDM colour granules for playground safety surfaces — UV-stable, fade-resistant, and available in a wide range of colours. Installed to specific depths to meet impact attenuation requirements for playground equipment of varying heights. SBR recycled rubber granules are used for base layers.
