When it comes to transforming outdoor spaces, choosing the right surface material is crucial. Not only does it impact the aesthetic appeal of your space, but it also plays a significant role in safety, durability, and long-term maintenance costs. At FLOCO Rubber Surfacing, we understand that every project is unique, which is why our pricing can range drastically for both residential and commercial jobs. The costs vary depending on the customization options, the level of preparation work required, and the specific design additions and upgrades chosen. In this blog post, we'll dive deep into why our pricing reflects the quality and craftsmanship we provide and how our superior preparation process ensures that our rubber surfacing is built to last.
The FLOCO Difference: Premium Quality Materials & Extensive Prep
When it comes to rubber surfacing, not all materials are created equal. At FLOCO, we believe in using only the highest quality materials sourced right here in the USA. Our rubber surfacing is designed to withstand the test of time, providing a safe, durable, and attractive solution for a wide range of applications, including pool decks, playgrounds, lanais, sidewalks, and more.
1. Quality Over Quantity
When looking into rubber surfacing, it is important to pay special attention to the type of materials used. Many cheaper materials may not hold up well under the harsh Florida sun or the constant exposure to moisture and foot traffic, leading to cracks, fading, and other forms of deterioration over time. At FLOCO, we prioritize quality over quantity. Our USA sources, premium quality materials are UV-resistant, ensuring that the vibrant colors of your custom-designed surface will remain bright and beautiful for years to come. Moreover, our rubber surfacing is designed to be slip-resistant, providing an added layer of safety for both residential and commercial spaces.
2. Incredibly Thick Layers for Longevity and Comfort
One of the key factors that set FLOCO apart is the thickness of our rubber surfacing. We lay our surfacing incredibly thick, which not only enhances comfort underfoot but also significantly extends the lifespan of the surface. Thicker layers provide better shock absorption, making it ideal for areas where falls might occur, such as playgrounds or around pool decks. This added thickness also helps to minimize wear and tear, ensuring that your investment stands strong even under heavy usage.
The Importance of Expert Craftsmanship
A high-quality material is only as good as the craftsmanship that goes into installing it. At FLOCO, we take pride in our team of skilled installation artists who bring years of experience and expertise to every project. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every step of our process, from the initial consultation to the final installation.
1. Attention to Detail
Our team understands that every detail matters when it comes to creating a flawless, long-lasting rubber surface. From meticulously prepping the surface to carefully laying each piece of rubber, we ensure that every aspect of the installation is executed to perfection. This attention to detail not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the finished product but also ensures its durability and performance.
2. Customization at Its Best
At FLOCO, we believe that your outdoor space should be a reflection of your personal style and taste. That's why we offer a wide range of customization options, allowing you to create a unique design that perfectly complements your space. Whether you want to incorporate specific color blends, intricate patterns, or even LED lighting, our team of designers will work closely with you to bring your vision to life. This level of customization is rare in the industry and sets us apart from competitors who offer more generic, one-size-fits-all solutions.
The FLOCO Preparation Process: Setting the Foundation for Success
One of the most critical aspects of a successful rubber surfacing installation is the preparation process. Proper preparation is essential to ensure that the rubber adheres correctly to the substrate, preventing issues such as lifting, cracking, or water seepage. At FLOCO, we take great care in preparing the surface, addressing any issues that could compromise the integrity of the final product.
1. Comprehensive Site Assessment
Before we begin any project, our team conducts a thorough site assessment to identify any potential challenges or issues that need to be addressed. This includes evaluating the existing substrate, checking for cracks or uneven surfaces, and assessing drainage conditions. By identifying these issues upfront, we can develop a plan to address them, ensuring a smooth and successful installation process.
2. Addressing Drainage and Standing Water Issues
One of the common problems we encounter, especially in Florida, is standing water and poor drainage. These issues can lead to serious problems if not addressed properly, including the growth of mold and mildew, damage to the substrate, and the potential for slip-and-fall accidents. At FLOCO, we take a proactive approach to addressing drainage issues. We implement drainage solutions as part of our preparation process, ensuring that water flows away from the surface and does not pool, even during heavy rain.
3. Surface Preparation and Repair
Once the site has been assessed and any drainage issues have been addressed, we move on to preparing the surface. This involves cleaning the substrate to remove any dirt, debris, or contaminants that could interfere with the adhesion of the rubber. If the existing surface is cracked or uneven, we repair these areas to create a smooth, stable base for the rubber surfacing. This meticulous preparation process is a key factor in the longevity and performance of our rubber surfaces.
Pricing Breakdown: What to Expect
Given the level of customization and the extensive preparation work that goes into each project, it's difficult to provide a one-size-fits-all pricing estimate. However, to give you a better idea, our prices typically range from $14.00 to $21.00 per square foot. The final cost will depend on several factors, including:
Extent of Preparation Work Needed: The more preparation required to address issues such as drainage, cracks, or uneven surfaces, the higher the cost.
Customization Options: Incorporating custom designs, color blends, patterns, or features such as LED lighting will add to the overall cost.
Upgrades Chosen: Additional upgrades, such as incorporating glistening rubber or using premium color blends, will also impact the final price.
