RUBBER-GRAVEL MIX
(SBRA)

View Data Sheets

Durable, Flexible, Eco-Friendly

Rubber Gravel Mix combines recycled rubber granules with natural aggregate to create a flexible, durable, and attractive surface. Ideal for footpaths, canal paths, tree pits and cemetery paths, rubber gravel mix offers excellent water permeability while maintaining strength and stability. Available in a three colours, this surfacing is slip-resistant, low-maintenance, and provides a lower cost alternative to traditional gravel.

Wetpour is most often installed onto a prepared hard surface, such as stone (MOT) or macadam. The sub-base should be dry, level and compact all over, and any deviations should be such that when a 3m long straight edge is placed in any position on the surface, the gap between the straight edge and the surface shall at no point be greater than +/-6mm.

RUBBER-GRAVEL MIX (SBRA) AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE – DOWNLOAD

All RUBBER-GRAVEL MIX (SBRA) Surfacing should undergo routine and operational inspection and maintenance in accordance with the recommendations of EN 1176.

The frequency of inspection will vary with the type of equipment used and other factors such as heavy use, levels of vandalism, coastal location, air pollution, age of equipment, location adjacent trees.

If the surface is discovered to be unsafe during inspection and cannot be corrected immediately, the surface should be secured against further use.

What are the main advantages of rubber-gravel surfacing when compared to resin bound gravel?
Typically, rubber-gravel mix is cheaper, more porous and provides enhanced slip resistance. The rubber element is from recycled sources and the overall feel is soft underfoot, making it a much more appealing pathway solution.
Rubber-gravel mix should be swept regularly to avoid a build-up of debris, resulting in the surface becoming less porous. Periodic jet washing is also recommended using a low-pressure setting.
The rubber-gravel mix is highly porous, so water will run through the surface and into the ground. This prevents the water from pooling on top of the surface.
The air temperature should be a minimum of 5 degrees and the surface temperature should be a minimum of 3 degrees above dew point (the temperature at which condensations forms).
Rubber-gravel mix can be installed onto compacted MOT type 1 stone, concrete or asphalt. Thickness varies depending on the subbase type to ensure adequate strength.
Rubber-gravel mix can accommodate light weight vehicles travelling across the surface (e.g. golf buggies), and is suitable for bicycle traffic. It is not suitable for regular motorised vehicle use.
This will depend on how heavily it will be used and how it is maintained. DCM have been back on sites over 10 years old where the rubber-gravel surfacing is still in good condition.
Unfortunately, rubber-gravel mix can only be installed in dry weather conditions.
