Solid Rubber Surface Drawbacks

• Rubber surfaces other than mulch also have drawbacks. Rubber surfaces are usually either poured in place or installed as tiles. Tiled rubber surfaces can come loose and present tripping hazards, and bacteria, mold and fungus can grow in between tiles and on the underside. Poured in place surfaces are susceptible to wear, cracking, peeling and fading over time. If the surface is damaged, it can breed harmful bacteria.

  Solid surfaces also tend to be more expensive than other types, as they require professional installation.
