Why Use Shredded Rubber Mulch?
Is Rubber Mulch a Better Choice?
- Why PermaLife Mulch®?
- PermaLife Shredded Rubber Mulch will save you time, money and the hassle of replacing regular mulch annually. PermaLife Mulch® will not decay, so your landscape will look like you just mulched it for years to come. You'll not only beautify your landscape, but you will also conserve water because PermaLife Mulch keeps root systems moist. In addition, PermaLife Shredded Rubber Mulch® protects your plants by acting as an insulator in very hot or very cold weather.
- What is PermaLife Mulch made from?
- PermaLife Rubber Mulch products are made from 100% recycled tires using our proprietary Ambient Grinding and Cryogenic System technologies. So, you will not only have a great looking, cost effective, long lasting mulch, you will also be helping our environment by using a recycled product.
- Is PermaLife Mulch® safe for my children?
- YES. It is Non-Harmful to children and pets.
- Why is PermaLife Pour&Play™ superior to other rubber playground surface products on the market?
- PermaLife Pour&Play™ is the only cryogenically manufactured loose fill playground flooring on the market. By producing PermaLife Pour&Play™ through a freezing process at minus -300°F, we ensure that our product is free of all exposed steel. Also, by shattering the rubber instead of grinding it, the resultant product has a crystal like structure similar to sand allowing for superior drainage and enough compaction to pass the ADA standards for wheel chairs. PermaLife Pour&Play™ is superior to all other rubber playground surface products on the market.
- How should I install PermaLife Pour&Play™?
- PermaLife Pour&Play™ will be delivered in bulk. Just remove all existing material and bring the site to grade. Install a landscape fabric (recommend as a vapor barrier). Then distribute and level the material with a garden rake or flat shovel. Install at required depth to provide the best in impact absorption. For optimal safety, install a 6"inch application for a fall factor of 12' feet and a 4" inch application for a fall of 8' feet.
- Will PermaLife SoftStuff™ blow or wash away?
- No. PermaLife SoftStuff™ will not float because the density of shredded rubber playground surface is much greater than wood chips or wood mulch. Because of the density and the migration properties of rubber, PermaLife remains in place when it is windy or raining.
- Does PermaLife SoftStuff™ Freeze in the Winter?
- No. PermaLife SoftStuff™ is hydrophobic (meaning it does not absorb water) and therefore will not freeze in the winter. In addition, the density (weight) of the product provides geothermal properties, which insulate the soil keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
