Rubber surfacing done right. Every time.

Softline is a specialist. We focus exclusively on high-performance rubber surfacing.

We don’t build playgrounds.
We don’t supply equipment.
We don’t manage general construction

We do one thing, and we do it well.

• Dedicated installation crews

• Trained in commercial rubber surfacing

• Operating across BC, Alberta, and Ontario

• Working closely with architects, contractors, and municipalities

• Focused on safety, accessibility, and long-term performance

We understand the realities of outdoor construction. Weather, site readiness, and coordination all matter. Our team plans ahead and communicates clearly to keep projects moving.

You’re not getting a subcontractor filling a line item. You’re getting a partner who stands behind the finished surface.

Built for Safety and Long-Term Performance

Playground surfacing must perform reliably for years while meeting strict safety and accessibility standards.

Softline systems are designed to deliver:

• Impact attenuation that meets or exceeds Canadian playground safety standards

• Consistent installation that maintains fall protection performance across the entire surface

• Durable materials designed to withstand heavy use and seasonal conditions

• Long-lasting installations designed for 10–15+ years of service life

• Accessible surfaces that support inclusive play and meet evolving accessibility requirements

Our systems are designed to provide dependable safety and accessibility performance throughout the lifespan of the playground.

Proven Installation Expertise

Rubber surfacing performance depends heavily on installation quality. Even small inconsistencies in mixing, curing, or surface finishing can affect durability and safety, reducing ROI and limiting the long-term benefits of poured-in-place systems.

Softline’s installation teams specialize exclusively in rubber playground surfacing.

Key advantages include:

• Dedicated installation crews employed directly by Softline

• Experienced teams trained in proper mixing ratios and installation techniques

• Controlled installation processes designed to ensure consistent results

• Careful planning of joints, surface transitions, and drainage considerations

• Clean and professional site execution with third-party quality assurance testing

This focus on installation expertise helps ensure each surface performs as intended for years to come.

Reliable Service for Construction Schedules

Playground surfacing is often one of the final scopes on site, where delays can impact overall project completion.

Softline works with general contractors across Canada to deliver rubber playground surfacing that fits your schedule, meets safety standards, and gets done right the first time.

Our operations include:

• Multiple dedicated installation crews across Canada

• Teams operating in BC, Alberta, and Ontario, with the ability to travel for major projects

• Flexible scheduling that adapts to construction timelines

• Pre-installation site readiness checks to prevent delays

• Responsive communication throughout the project

• Experience completing installations around finished equipment without disrupting surrounding work

Our crews work directly with site supervisors and understand how to coordinate with other trades, helping ensure surfacing installation supports the overall construction schedule, not slows it down.

Certified Quality and Industry Compliance

Safety and quality standards are critical when designing and installing playground environments.

Softline installations are designed to meet or exceed recognized playground safety standards, including:

• CSA playground safety standards

• ASTM testing requirements for impact attenuation

• Independent quality verification through third-party testing

• IPEMA certification, providing third-party validation of playground safety compliance

We also maintain COR (Certificate of Recognition) certification, reflecting our commitment to health and safety practices across all job sites.

These certifications provide confidence that installations meet required safety benchmarks while maintaining high standards for both performance and jobsite safety.

Designed to Work with Architects and Project Teams

We regularly collaborate with:

• Architects

• Landscape architects

• Playground equipment suppliers

• General contractors

• Municipal project teams

Softline supports project teams early in the design process to ensure the surfacing system aligns with the overall playground design.

Our team can assist with:

• Surfacing system design and build-up recommendations

• Drainage and base preparation considerations

• Color selection and custom patterns

• Integration with playground equipment layouts

• Spec writing for project documents

• Grants and funding support

Early collaboration helps ensure the final surface reflects the design intent while meeting performance, safety, and accessibility expectations.

Long-Term Value for Playground Owners

While poured-in-place rubber surfacing requires a higher initial investment, it reduces total cost of ownership over time.

• Compared with wood fiber, gravel, or sand surfaces:

• Lower ongoing maintenance requirements

• No need for frequent material replenishment

• Consistent fall protection performance

• Improved accessibility for all users

• Cleaner and more durable play environments

By reducing ongoing labour, material replacement, and maintenance demands, poured-in-place systems help lower long-term costs while maintaining consistent performance throughout their lifespan.

Softline stands behind every installation with:

• A 5-year warranty

• Dedicated project support from start to completion

• Responsive warranty and service support

• Long-term relationships with contractors and project teams

Our approach focuses on delivering reliable installations and supporting partners throughout the project lifecycle.

What to Expect When Working with Softline

Softline works closely with project teams from early planning through final installation to ensure each project runs smoothly and meets performance expectations.

Our process includes:

• Early coordination with project teams to review scope, timelines, and site conditions

• Clear communication throughout the project, including scheduling and readiness requirements

• Pre-installation site checks to confirm base preparation, drainage, and access

• Professional installation using trained crews and controlled processes

• Coordination with site supervisors and other trades during installation

• Clean, efficient execution with minimal disruption to surrounding work

• Final quality checks to ensure performance, safety, and finish meet expectations
