Imagine a world where every step is secure, every playground laugh is safeguarded, and every patio is a portal to comfort. This is the world rubber surfacing has been quietly shaping for nearly a century.
Tech-Roc stands on the shoulders of this innovative legacy, bringing time-tested solutions to the modern landscape.
The Pioneering Days: Post-War Europe
The roots of rubber surfacing can be traced back to post-World War II Europe. Amidst rebuilding efforts, there was a push for safer recreational spaces. The discovery of rubber’s shock-absorbent and anti-slip properties led to its initial use in playgrounds, offering a safeguard against the scrapes and bruises of childhood play.
The 1970s: North America Catches On
As rubber surfacing crossed the Atlantic, Canada, with its wide-ranging temperatures, became a fertile ground for experimentation. Rubber surfaces were being used for driveways, roads, paths, and other typically cementitious surfaces due to its ability to withstand the tough Canadian climate. Rubber proved its mettle, showing it could withstand not just the wear of constant use but also the tear of the elements.
The 1980s and Beyond: The Green Revolution
The environmental movement of the 1980s propelled rubber surfacing forward, turning millions of discarded tires into protective floorings. This recycling revolution sparked a surge in rubber’s popularity, now seen as a solution that was both practical and eco-conscious.
The 21st Century: The Aesthetic Awakening
With the turn of the century came a greater emphasis on aesthetics. Rubber surfacing was no longer just about safety or recycling but also about beauty. It became a designer’s ally, able to morph into a multitude of colors and patterns, complementing the most sophisticated of spaces.
