PRO-TEQ SURFACING UK LTD'S NEW WEBSITE DEMONSTRATES COST EFFECTIVE SAFETY SURFACING REFURBISHMENT AND SAVINGS FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

Surrey-based surfacing specialist Pro-Teq Surfacing (UK) Ltd have launched a new website www.pro-teqsurfacing.com which now includes more detailed information on their revolutionary safety surface refurbishment system.

Managing Director, Hamish Scott believes that the new website will help them reach many local councils who desperately need to upgrade their play areas.''Health and Safety is a key issue for any council which manages a playground or park'' he comments.''In addition to making these facilities safe, they are under pressure to ensure that any surface laid is practical, durable and good value for money. That's where we come in. Using a traditional wet pour or rubber tiled surface as a base, our product covers the whole area with a seamless coat of polyurethane and UV protected rubber crumb which does not split or shrink. Once it's down, it's down - and it's there for the long term''

As well as enhancing the safety of the facility, Pro-Teq's surface offers environmental and budgetary benefits. Traditional tiles are expensive to place into landfill, which creates headaches for local authorities as disposal can cost hundreds of pounds. Pro-Teq, however, can clean and cover existing rubber tiles or wetpour with their spray rubber surface.

As well as reducing landfill, the surface is available in a choice of 16 colours, enabling Councils to breathe new life into their tired playgrounds. Such a comprehensive solution sounds expensive, but it isn't - in fact it's more cost-effective than traditional alternatives, especially when the lifetime of the surface is taken into account. ''Our surface is hard-wearing and attractive,'' comments Scott. ''The range of colours can really lift the environment and make the play area look fun and inviting again. Our customers are always amazed at the difference our colour options can make, and they are delighted that the surface is difficult to vandalise. It can also easily be cleaned with a jet wash.''

Perhaps the main selling point, however, is the ease with which the Pro-Teq surface can be laid, and the speed with which it is dry and usable. ''Every single customer who has engaged us has been astounded at how quickly their playground has been re-opened,'' says Scott. ''Once we have prepared the existing area we can lay the new surface and it will be dry and usable within three minutes of spraying. With other methods you could expect a longer period of closure, which is often difficult to police. With Pro-Teq there is minimal downtime - a real plus when the facility is in demand.''

Pro-Teq's website details how their surfacing solution works, and the technology behind it, the website also includes a photo gallery showing their portfolio and a short video demonstrating the Pro-Teq team at work.

The attractive new site is designed to emphasise that it is not necessary to replace an entire safety surface when it can be repaired with a colourful solution which both dries rapidly and is hard wearing.
