1. What is Rubbaflex ‘GP’?
   Rubbaflex ‘GP’ is an in-situ wet pour rubber flooring safety surface that is made up of EPDM rubber granules and a special moisture-curing resin. As this is hand-applied on location by our team of experts it can be used in most locations, either spread over existing hard surfaces (i.e. concrete, paving slabs, tarmac) or in a built-up layer over loose stone or compressed grit to form an even, slip-resistant base. Rubbaflex ‘GP’ is also golf spike and golf buggy resistant and can be used indoors and out, on golf course pathways, golf driving ranges, around tees and in reception areas, changing rooms, patios and other hard-wearing flooring areas.
  
2. Why use Rubbaflex ‘GP’?
By installing Rubbaflex ‘GP’ you gain a whole variety of benefits, and not just improved visual appearance:
 reduces foot traffic noise around tees

tough and wear-resistant to spiked shoes and suitable for golf buggy use
