1. The True Versatility of Poured Rubber Flooring

Thanks to its unique composition, which blends the strength of concrete with the flexibility of rubber, our poured rubber flooring solutions are adaptable to a wide range of applications. And although rubber is an ingredient, it’s not the only ingredient. Our rubber concrete overlay is a blend that combines the durability of concrete with the flexibility and safety benefits of rubber.offering solutions that blend practicality with aesthetics.

Common Applications for Poured Rubber Flooring

  • Pool Decks: Non-slip and water-resistant, poured rubber flooring makes poolside areas safer and more comfortable to walk on—even under the intense Southwest Florida sun.
  • Patios and Walkways: Create stunning outdoor spaces with custom designs that remain cool underfoot while withstanding heavy foot traffic.
  • Driveways: Enhance curb appeal with a durable, slip-resistant surface that resists cracking and fading over time.
  • Commercial Properties: Perfect for gyms, restaurants, and other high-traffic spaces, this material delivers professional-grade durability with a touch of sophistication.

Playground Rubber Flooring: A Safe and Fun Option

While poured rubber flooring excels in many areas, its application in playgrounds deserves special attention. This material provides a soft, cushioned surface that reduces the risk of injury from falls, making it an ideal choice for school and daycare playgrounds, parks, and backyard play areas.

Additionally, its seamless design eliminates tripping hazards, while vibrant colors and creative patterns can transform a playground into a lively, engaging space for children. Whether it’s a public park or a private project, Concrete Craft SWFL delivers playground flooring that prioritizes safety without compromising style.

No matter the application, poured rubber flooring offers a combination of durability, safety, and aesthetics that few other materials can match.

2. Installation Matters More Than You Think

A successful poured rubber flooring project hinges on proper installation. While DIY might seem tempting, achieving a seamless, long-lasting finish requires professional expertise. 

Why Professional Installation Is Key

Concrete resurfacing and overlays demand a blend of precision, expertise, and artistry. At Concrete Craft SWFL, we take pride in creating surfaces that aren’t just functional but exceptional. By meticulously preparing the base—ensuring it’s flawless and ready for application—we lay the groundwork for stunning, durable finishes that stand the test of time.

Steps in the Installation Process

  1. Assessment and Planning: Every project begins with a thorough evaluation of your space to determine the best approach.
  2. Surface Preparation: This step involves cleaning, leveling, and repairing any imperfections in the existing surface.
  3. Application and Curing: The rubber material is carefully poured and smoothed, then left to cure for a durable, seamless finish.

Choosing professionals ensures that your poured rubber flooring not only looks great but also stands the test of time.

One of the most appealing features of our poured rubber flooring concrete overlay system is its low-maintenance nature. It’s designed to simplify your life without sacrificing style or durability.

Its flexibility allows it to absorb impact without cracking, and its UV-resistant properties prevent fading or warping in direct sunlight. With professional installation and basic care, it can last 10–15 years or more, offering exceptional value over time.

I am totally pleased with the work done on my driveway. There is a geometric pattern using 3 colors. Concrete Craft was very accommodating in helping select the the right mix of colors. During the several days of work the crew always arrived on time and everything was kept neat. This is a great company of good people and I recommend them without any reservation.

From the very start (Terry) held my hand. From picking the colors to the day of coating the pool area. We went to the actual building where there business is located.we saw a finish area to see what it all looked and felt like. Went inside there building to the offices. Talked to all the people about any of my concerns. They answered all my questions and showed me completed projects.They showed up and worked very hard to frame the pool it was a wonderful job. They returned in couple of days to complete job. What a beautiful pool area so different from before. We are so very happy with the hole experience from start to finish a very professional job. And for us, it was a very personal job with all of the phone calls questions answered and showing up to make sure we were happy. I would recommend this company to anyone who would like to have a positive experience. Thank you all ! JOB WELL DONE!

We recently had our driveway replaced by Concrete Craft and are very pleased with the whole process. They are definitely concrete craftsmen, from the removal of the old driveway to the pouring of the new one. Terri helped us decide on the style and color,and Spenser's crew did an outstanding job overall in pouring, coloring, stamping,and cleaning up the site. Terri then followed up to make sure we were happy with the finished product. We highly recommend Concrete Craft on future projects
In February 2024, Concrete Craft of Southwest Florida installed a footer in preparation for my pavers and lanai screen. They were really great to work with and the footer was installed on time. They kept me informed, their price was fair, and Tosh was very good about communicating with me throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this company to family and friends and will use them again in the future when the need arises.

We are resurfacing a pool deck in Georgia using Concrete Craft there but we are in Florida for the winter. Went to the local (Fort Myers) franchise to look at some colors. Terry in Fort Myers knew from the start that we were not buying anything in Florida but was incredibly helpful, not just on color but in explaining the features of the various options available for our deck. If there were that helpful for someone who was not buying, I can't imagine the service they give to actual customers. If you are looking for a new or resurfaced pool deck or driveway I suggest you give them a try.

Having done a huge renovation to our home, we are well aware of unacceptable contractors! CONCRETE CRAFT is THE best to work with! It has been an absolutely great experience working closely with Chris and Terri to get a fantastic pool deck that is fresh and so user friendly. We went with the rubberized flooring that is nonskid and no water ever just sits. It drains beautifully and looks wonderful. You have found the best contractors!
