Assess bonded EPDM surfacing zone by zone. A garage entrance, a pedestrian walkway and a service bay face different loads and contaminants. Ask for test data for the complete floor system under the conditions you expect.
Pedestrian routes and entrances
For walking routes or transition areas, consider the surface profile, drainage and performance when wet. Check how the edge will meet the adjacent floor and whether the installed surface can be cleaned without leaving residue. For a similar approach to separating pedestrian routes from other uses, see our guide to surfacing sports venue zones.
Parking bays and vehicle routes
Tyre turning, repeated wheel loads and vehicle fluids can affect the surface, binder and bond to the base. Use a system specifically rated for those conditions. Ask for evidence for the actual vehicle type, traffic and cleaning method before specifying it.
Workshops and spill-prone areas
Obtain compatibility data for expected fuels, lubricants and cleaning agents. Check the substrate for cracks, moisture and contamination. Compare suitable floor systems where spill containment, frequent wash-down or heavy equipment is part of normal use.
