EPDM Wetpour Flooring Cost per Square Meter: 2025 Pricing Breakdown
EPDM wetpour flooring is a go-to choice for schools, playgrounds, and public parks — but what does it really cost per square meter?
Material cost ranges from $12–$40/m². Installed cost varies between $60–$120/m² depending on thickness, color, and installation location.
If you’re budgeting for an outdoor project, understanding these cost components can save you thousands. Let’s break it down.
💰 What Factors Affect the Cost of EPDM Wetpour Flooring?
EPDM pricing isn’t just about granules — it’s a mix of material quality, thickness, binder ratio, color, and labor.
1. 📏 Material Thickness
More thickness = more material = higher cost. Here’s a quick reference:
| Thickness | Common Use | Material Cost Estimate (USD/m²) |
|---|---|---|
| 10mm | Trails, soft zones | $12 – $18 |
| 15mm | Schools, public playgrounds | $18 – $25 |
| 20mm+ | Slides, climbing zones | $25 – $40 |
2. 🎨 Granule Type (Surface Material)
| Granule Type | Price Level | UV Resistance | Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black SBR | Low | Moderate | Basic black |
| Colored SBR | Medium | Better | Red, green, grey |
| Full EPDM | High | Excellent | Bright & long-lasting |

3. 🧪 Binder Ratio
Most surfaces use a 22% PU binder. In hot or wet climates, thicker or higher-grade binders may be needed — increasing the cost by 10–15%.
4. 👷 Labor & Installation Costs
In most developed countries, labor accounts for over 50% of the installed price. Here are typical market ranges:
| Region | Installed Price (USD/m²) |
|---|---|
| Australia | $70 – $100 |
| Canada | $75 – $110 |
| Middle East | $55 – $90 |
| Southeast Asia | $40 – $80 |
Custom designs (logos, shapes, cartoons) can add $10–$30/m² depending on complexity.
📦 How Much Material Do You Need Per m²?

- 🔸 11–13 kg EPDM granules
- 🔸 2.5–3 kg PU binder (22%)
We supply 25kg bags and 1-ton pallets, with bulk pricing available.
