We believe that meeting the highest standards for our children is essential for communities to thrive. Our crews are specially trained for playground installation, have Canadian Playground Safety Institute (CPSI) credentials, and possess more than 40 years of combined experience.
We are proud to be installing Shercom SHERPLAY® rubber paving technology and Playtop® and Nike Grind® playgrounds across Alberta and British Columbia.
Urban Rubber Paving is the approved installer of the proprietary impact-absorbing SHERPLAY® poured-in-place rubber surface system. Featuring a unique and extra-stable cushioning base, it also comes in a broad range of colours. For the top wear layer, we’re proud to instal Sherflek® (recycled tire crumb coated with coloured rubber), Playtop®, EPDM, and Nike Grind®.
Trusted, transformational, and manufactured with 100% Canadian-recycled tires
We have certified Canadian Playground Safety Institute (CPSI) staff who oversee the entire installation from the preparation work to final wear layer.
The playground surface will be tested to meet or exceed the following standards:
Fall Attenuation: ASTM F1292-01 and CAC/CSA Z-614 for GMAX & HIC testing
UV stability: ASTM D1148-13
Water Absorption: ASTM D-530 +6.5%
Bacterial Resistance: no growth
Fungal Resistance: no growth
SHERPLAY® provides a stable cushioning base to which the wear layer will adhere for the life of the playground. This is a significant departure from traditional playground bases that use fine rubber buffings, which are prone to shifting and result in the lateral movement of the wear layer. This movement leads to premature tearing, cracking, and seam failure.
Children love colour! With this in mind, we offer industry-leading colour customization while maximizing recycled content, affordability, and access to environmental grants. Our wear layer can blend Sherflek®, Playtop® with Nike Grind® products.
Sherflek® is manufactured from recycled tire granules (SBR) that have been safely dyed with liquid colourant. The result is a solid rubber granule with approximately 10% of the outer surface coloured – meeting the same colour, longevity, ASTM, and CSA testing standards as EPDM while maintaining full eligibility for LEED credits, provincial, and industry grants. Colour customization is the same low price as black SBR.
Playtop® is the largest pour-in-place playground company in the world, with installations in almost 70 countries. It leads the industry with more than 50% propylene content – the key ingredient for colour stability and longevity.
Nike Grind® is an innovative surface created using recycled running shoes. Combined with the Playtop® EPDM, it’s available in a wide spectrum of colour possibilities.
A neighbour down the alley has an approach to his garage that was installed by Urban Rubber Paving. We drive by it four or five times a week. It's at least 7 years old and it looks like it was put in just last Thursday. So we called URP to see whether they could do the same for us. From the estimator's visit to the completion of the job the entire process could not have gone more smoothly for us. We gave them flexibility in scheduling the job and they completed it earlier than they had estimated. Completion of contract to payment for the work was all done online. In short: highly recommended.
Urban Rubber Paving did an outstanding job in repairing our driveway and sidewalk. They were professional in all aspects of this job from the initial estimate, to communication with the office, to the crew doing the paving. Everything was done when they said it would be done and on time. We are thrilled with the product. Our driveway and sidewalk look fantastic and it is nice to walk on. We highly recommend Urban Rubber Paving.
We love our Urban Rubber driveway. It looks so beautiful with our home. We have people stopping to ask who did the work. We looked at a lot of rubber driveways before we decided on Urban Rubber Paving. Their quality of workmanship stood out and they didn't disappoint. Our neighbour got theirs done after seeing ours. They communicated everything with us. I would recommend them.
Urban Rubber Paving did an EXCELLENT job on our very old driveway and front steps. The driveway was cracked and heaved in a number of places. The end result was a very smooth and almost flat finish to the driveway. The steps are awesome!
They where so pleasant to deal with from the start. They got our project completed in a timely manner. The crew performed the work quick and professionally, overall they did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them the product is just what we wanted.
Very informative. I had many questions about the product and process of application. All my questions were answered, very thoroughly. It also seems like a very good place for employment. The guys that work, seem very satisfied with their work-life environment.
Urban Rubber Paving did an amazing job of transforming our ugly back yard patio and sidewalks into a beautiful space. It was fascinating to watch the crew complete a new face lift on the back yard.
On time, explained the scope of the job got right to work. Friendly and very appreciative of my feed back. No issues with the clean up. Two thumbs up on the results.
Courteous and competitive pricing. Work was done earlier than originally scheduled for September which was a bonus given the uncertainty of the weather in the fall. Workmanship looks good and drew a few compliments and the sales rep was very helpful.
