About Our Splash Tread

Splash tread enhances any aquatic environment and transforms the surface into something to be admired. 

Splash tread or "splash pad surfacing" is often used in water parks or water play areas. It is best known for being one of the most chorine resistant and UV stable surfacing products on the market. It can be installed over concrete, asphalt, non-coated wood, patterned raw metal, rubber, foam, and many other surfaces.

Product Details

Splash tread is a superior surface treatment that is extremely tough yet soft underfoot. Over the years, splash pads have grown increasingly more popular as aquatic playgrounds that promote active play in water environments. This new style of play demands a new type of playground surfacing: one that is cooler, softer, and non-abrasive.

Benefits of Splash Tread

At Robertson, our splash tread has been tested to rigorous standards to provide the best surfacing option for your water play area. Other reasons to use splash tread:

  • Durable – chlorine resistant, impenetrable polyolefin granules
  • Zero fungus growth
  • Safer – lowest possible slip rating, non-toxic
  • Bright colors that will last – highest UV resistance
  • Won’t cause abrasions
  • Durable materials used in roofing industry and chlorine transportation containers

It is UV stable, flexible, resistant to rotting, cracking, and peeling, and can be installed over concrete, wood, raw metal, and rubber.
