AquaFlex® Rubber Waterplay Surfacing

Skid-resistant surfacing for outdoor & indoor water parks, splash pads, pool decks, and spa surrounds

AquaFlex®, a Landscape Structures product provided by Surface America, uses an advanced bond-in-place technology in which millions of pebbles bond together to create a durable, skid-resistant surface.

Won’t break down in chlorinated water or when exposed to UV rays

Its unique chlorine resistance and long-term light stability keep your waterplay surface looking beautiful for years to come. Because it is mixed and applied on-site, you can easily have permanent patterns, borders, and logos incorporated into the surface.

Featuring superior heat flux for greater comfort

Surfaces get hot in direct sun. Tests prove that AquaFlex pebbles transfer heat to sensitive feet and skin at a minimum rate of 23% lower than alternative surfaces.

AquaFlex Porous allows water to penetrate through the surface to drain to allow for good traction.

AquaFlex Non-Porous is an ideal solution for outdoor waterplay areas in locations that require water to flow across the surface into a drainage system. It’s often used for indoor applications. AquaFlex Non-Porous can be installed over a cushion layer, making it ideal for applications that require extra impact attenuation to minimize injuries from falls.
