Balancing Community Needs and Budgets

When choosing a surface for a recreational environment, you may have several priorities, including:

  • Maintaining usability: Traditional surfaces, such as hard concrete or patchy grass, can create an unpleasant recreational experience because they are uneven and inconsistent, detracting from the play experience. 

  • Streamlining upkeep: Grass requires a constant cycle of mowing, watering and repainting lines. Concrete surfaces can crack over time. The right surface can help minimize maintenance needs so you can focus your funds on other areas of your operations. 

  • Accommodating activities: Generic flooring options may not meet your needs for specific activities. For example, you may need a surface that allows balls to bounce. The surface selection should match the application. 

No Fault Surfaces offers the solution to all of these priorities. We offer surfacing options that meet American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards for playground surfacing. Our surfaces also meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards. Our materials are also low-maintenance and use quality materials for long-term usage with minimal upkeep. The range of surfacing options we offer enables you to find the right fit for a variety of applications, from a field to a playground.

Recreational Jogging and Walking Tracks

Our latex and polyurethane running tracks consist of unitary surfaces, professionally installed with a single-pour system. These tracks are ideal for track and field activities. They provide a slip-resistant feel underneath and can withstand heavy use. Choose from four standard color blends. You can also blend colors in your desired proportions from our selection of dozens of color options to create a custom look.

Our track surfaces serve as fitness trails at locations like:

  • Parks
  • Senior centers
  • Hospitals
  • Community areas

These tracks are ideal for casual running and walking. 

Multipurpose and Recreational Basketball Courts

If you’re looking for flooring for a basketball court, consider our poured-in-place (PIP) surfacing. PIP rubber surfacing goes over concrete or asphalt. The material is durable and shock-absorbent. While the material is comfortable to play on, it still allows for consistent ball bounce for casual play. PIP also stays cooler than traditional blacktop. You can use it indoors or outdoors. Choose a range of color options to customize the court to your preferences. 

It works well as flooring for multipurpose courts used for basketball and additional sports like volleyball or indoor soccer. A few common uses include:

  • Neighborhood parks

  • Schoolyards

  • Community multi-sport courts

Leisure Fields

Our PIP surfacing with an attenuation base layer creates a shock-absorbent surface that’s perfect for play. It’s easy to maintain, requiring no fertilizers, cutting, insecticides or other chemicals. Additionally, there are fewer allergens for enhanced comfort.  You can adapt the pattern and color to the intended use, from fun, bright colors for a daycare to grass-like colors for a dog park. Create an accessible experience with our PIP surfacing that meets ASTM and ADA wheelchair-accessibility guidelines.

You can use it for:

  • Noncompetitive play
  • Daycare “green” space
  • Playgrounds
  • Pet zones

While these solutions work well for leisure and light play, they may not be suitable for high-impact competitive applications. 

Versatile Gym and Sports Floors

No Fault Surfaces offers high-traffic rubber gym flooring that installs quickly and easily. These flooring options include tiles or rolls. You can place them over wood, concrete, linoleum, ceramic tile and vinyl subfloors. They use heavy-duty, high-quality rubber for long-lasting performance. 

These solutions are ideal for:

  • Fitness rooms and clubs

  • HIIT zones

  • Weightlifting areas

  • Yoga and Pilates studios

  • Martial arts centers

  • Flooring for dance studios

Our sports floors are available in either tile or rolled rubber styles for maximum flexibility. Tiles are ideal for applications that require greater flexibility, such as irregularly shaped or small gym areas. On the other hand, rolls work well for covering large, open areas, creating a more unified look. Choose from a variety of standard colors and enjoy minimal upkeep.

Baseball field with safety surfacing

ADA-Compliant Recreational Baseball Fields

Poured-in-place (PIP) rubber surfacing is ideal for building ball fields that let kids of all abilities participate in the fun. The continuous, unitary surface creates a uniform and consistent playing field. The PIP rubber with a cushion layer also absorbs impact energy, making it more comfortable for play and safer in the event of a fall. Elevate the play experience for everyone with a solution that meets ADA and ASTM requirements. 

Our highly skilled crews install these surfaces on your site. We can use multiple colors in the pattern of a baseball field, with green PIP serving the outfield and grassed infield areas. The skinned infield, which would typically use dirt, can instead use brown or tan PIP rubber. On top of the rubber, we can add distinct white lines and bases.

Artificial ball fields create inclusive play, making them ideal for:

  • Community areas
  • League fields
  • Miracle Field use
  • Buddy Ball fields

These fields are not suitable for professional or collegiate-level play. Instead, they make baseball more inclusive to a wide variety of players. 

Selecting Materials for Your Surface

We offer a range of surface options to meet the needs of sports and recreational areas. Here’s an overview of the surfaces used most commonly in these areas:

  • PIP rubber: Create a unitary and custom-poured surface with design freedom for colors and patterns. In recreational applications, this material is ideal for indoor and outdoor courts and tracks. 
  • Sport floor tiles: This flooring for indoor gyms offers exceptional placement versatility, making it a good choice for multipurpose gyms, weight rooms and similar areas. 
  • Sport floor rolls: Our rolled flooring is similar to tiles but creates a sleeker look, making it a cost-effective choice for large open spaces in fitness centers. 

If you want a more textured appearance, choose bonded rubber mulch, which looks like wood mulch but is bound together. It offers a more natural aesthetic, making it a good choice for landscaping walkways and jogging paths. We also offer loose-fill rubber mulch, which provides high shock absorption.
