Poured-in-Place Rubber Surfacing

What It Is

Poured-in-place (PIP) rubber is a dual-layer, slip-resistant surface that protects against falls. Ideal for playgrounds, schools, parks, and other public play spaces, this custom cushioned system takes the hit so kids don’t have to.

How It Works

While the base layer of SBR buffings provides shock absorption, the top layer of EPDM rubber supports comfort and vibrant color. We blend these mixtures and trowel by hand, installing them on site for a seamless finish.

Why It Matters

It might look simple, but there’s a lot going on under the surface. It’s not just about looking good. It’s about keeping communities safe and putting your name on something that stands up when it counts.

What Customers Are Saying

Bailey and his team built our elementary school a track for the playground! The kids love it and Bailey was amazing to work with. He provided me his cell and kept the line of communication open the entire time. His team worked really hard and put in long hours and the quality of their work was amazing. He answered all my questions and was very prompt and efficient. Thank you Bailey and team for a job well done!

Bailey and his team of installers just finished our playground surfacing install at Canton Elementary and it looks amazing! Can’t wait for the kiddos to begin enjoying it when school opens in 2 weeks.

Jesse U.

Bailey and his crew did a great job at our Elementary School! They were communicative, polite, on time, and fast! Not only did they complete the job quickly, but cleaned up after themselves as well. We cannot say enough positive things.

Truly a professional organization - from Bill outlining his products to Tracy in the office to the installers! Installation was done on a timely basis, went smooth, looks absolutely great! Would absolutely use Pro-Techs again and highly recommend them!

Pat S.

I just spoke to Bill about our residential playset surface. Although we won't be able to use his product/services, Bill guided me through what our family will need (material, quantity, best practices) for our backyard... SO NICE! Bill, you are a genuine and kind human. Thank you for your time. Your selflessness is truly appreciated!! It was a pleasure speaking with you and I wish you all the best!
