Train to install itClimate and what it means
Ottawa has long, very cold winters and a short, warm summer, so winter performance comes first. In a cold climate, the winter facts matter most. Safescapes says poured rubber is bound with resin throughout so it can expand and contract through freeze-thaw cycles instead of cracking or lifting. It's safe to shovel and snow-blow, ice doesn't bond well to the porous surface, and ice melter is safe on it. The company doesn't recommend snow plows.
Where it fits in Ottawa
Front steps and entranceways that get shoveled, garage floors, and school and daycare play areas.
Poured rubber usually goes over what's already there. Concrete is the most common base, and Safescapes also lists stone, asphalt, interlock, wooden decks and gravel. That keeps resurfacing jobs simpler than tearing out and re-pouring. After installation, the typical wait is 48 hours before walking on it, depending on temperature and humidity.
