	Having installed over fifteen million square feet of rubber surfacing across North America, SofSURFACES is widely recognized as a leader in the design and manufacture of interlocking modular sports and recreational surfacing systems. With a focus on high quality interlocking rubber tiles, our primary markets include playground safety surfacing as well as fitness and recreational flooring SofTILE® has been developed, engineered and thoroughly tested, to offer superior fall protection for any play environment, outdoors and indoors. Our patented KrosLOCK® edge is an exclusive SofTILE® design feature. This major advantage gives our customers a unitary safety surface that installs simply, precisely, and securely with a minimum amount of labor and adhesive, while eliminating potential problems associated with tile separation and vandalism. SofCRETE Poured-in-Place Safety Surfacing offers creative play areas with limitless possibilities on design - from embedding shapes to following curves effortlessly and with the added flexibility of being any thickness. Ideally suited for playground safety surfaces and creative play areas, SofCRETE keeps these areas clean and dry, free from weeds and buried debris, all the while offering users protection from falls. DuraFLEX is an interlocking, dual durometer, premium fitness flooring system designed with a focus on four specific properties. DuraFLEX was engineered to maximize comfort, durability, functionality and visual appeal. Premium Series: While providing the same durability as the Basic Series, our Premium series offers a multitude of both vibrant and earth tone colors that can be mixed and matched to create virtually any look that is desired. The premium series is manufactured with an EPDM rubber granule on the wear layer to provide a speckled appearance. Pattern, texture and color capabilities are the hallmarks of the Premium Series. Plus Series: Manufactured with 100 percent recycled rubber. Elongated rubber strands are utilized in the top wear course of the product for increased durability and a smooth visual texture. Color is achieved through the use of specially formulated pigments.
