Rubber Surfacing Material Calculator

Estimate rubber granules, playground base materials and polyurethane binder for your project. Enter your area, specified layer thickness, color blend and binder selection, then request a quote for the calculated material list.

Let’s partner together to help you achieve Safer Surfacing©

Have your project area and approved surface specification ready. Color blend percentages should total 100%.

Rubber Surfacing Material Calculator

Project details

1. Project details

Extra material for “just in case” situations. Calculation applies only to wear layer, not underlayment estimates. 5% is our standard in estimations but 15% is generally used if installing over playground pellets.

2. Color blend

%

Total must equal 100%.

3. Binder selection

Aromatic – used primarily in indoor installations or playground underlayment. Resin is NOT UV stable and will amble when exposed to sunlight PRO UV – aliphatic resin that will not amber when exposed to sunlight. Commonly used on pool decks, patios, or outdoor settings PRO UV CR – aliphatic resin that will not amber when exposed to sunlight and is chlorine resistant. Commonly used on splash pads or where rubber will be frequently exposed to chlorinated water or even submersed

How to use the rubber surfacing calculator

Measure the project area

For a rectangle, multiply length by width in feet. For irregular areas, calculate smaller sections and add them together.

Enter the specified system

Select the wear-layer thickness, base material, color blend and binder required for your project. For playgrounds, use the approved fall-height and system specification.

Review and request a quote

Check your inputs and estimated package quantities. Submit delivery details so Flexirocks can review availability, pricing and freight.

Materials included in your estimate

Use the calculator to plan compatible components for the selected rubber surfacing system.

Colored wear-layer rubber

Estimate material by color blend for the specified area and wear-layer thickness.

Material Calculator FAQ

Does the calculator provide a final price?

The calculator estimates material quantities. Request a quote for current product pricing, availability and freight to your destination.


How is waste allowance applied?

The current form applies the selected waste allowance to the wear-layer calculation, not the underlayment estimate. Follow the displayed project guidance and verify the allowance before ordering.


Can I calculate a custom color blend?

Yes. Enter the selected colors and their percentages. The total must equal 100%.


Does selecting a fall height guarantee playground compliance?

No. The selection supports material estimation. The project still requires an appropriate documented surface system, correct installation and any required testing.
