These are the EPDM colors we install across South Florida. Pick up to 4 and the studio builds the mix.
Proven combinations for Florida pool decks, patios and playgrounds.
Up to 4 colors in one mix, in steps of 5%, always adding up to 100%. Most Florida pool decks use 2 or 3 colors: a base tone at 50 to 60% and 1 or 2 accents. More than 4 colors turns to visual noise once it is poured at full scale.
Every surface warms up in direct sun, and darker granules hold more heat than light ones. Rubber still stays far cooler than concrete, pavers or tile, because it does not store heat the way stone does. For barefoot pool areas we steer you to sand, beige, terracotta and gray families. We cap black at 50% on any deck that people walk on barefoot.
EPDM granules are colored all the way through and hold that color for years under UV. Black SBR is recycled rubber and costs less. A 100% EPDM blend is the premium tier. A blend with up to 50% black SBR is the industry standard for playgrounds and budget decks. Below that ratio the color reads muddy.
Light, blue and gray blends are poured with a UV stable aliphatic binder. An aromatic binder is cheaper but turns yellow within months under Florida sun, and yellowing is obvious on a pale surface. Around pools we use a chlorine resistant binder on every blend regardless of color.
Screen color is approximate. Every monitor and phone renders differently, and wet granules look different from dry. That is why the blend code exists. We pour a physical sample of your exact code, bring it to the free estimate and lay it on your concrete in daylight. Nothing gets installed until you approve that sample.
Yes. Every mix gets a code such as BC-06.40 08.35 03.25, which lists each color and its share. Copy the link and the studio reopens on that exact blend. HOA boards use it to circulate one option before a vote, and homeowners use it to compare 2 or 3 finalists at home.
