C and M Concrete Expands To Include Rubber Safety Surfacing

Rubber Safety Surfacing Added To Concrete Services

 C and M Concrete, a St. Louis-area concrete contractor that specializes in traditional and architectural/stamped concrete surfaces, is carving out a new niche in the installation of custom-designed rubber safety surfaces.

For the past 25 years, owner Matt Sadl has specialized in all types of concrete services. He expanded his sole proprietorship and established C and M Concrete in 2009. This year, the company is debuting a new division that focuses on the installation of rubber safety surfaces.

C and M is the sole distributor of a specialized “poured in place” polymer resin and granular rubber composite material called Rubaroc®. The rubber material, initially available in Canada and then spreading across the United States and worldwide, is installed much like concrete, by professionally hand-troweling over the top of existing concrete, tile or wood surfaces. Installers are fully trained and certified to handle the specialty material.

Because the rubberized surface provides high traction and is slip-resistant and comfortable, these safety coatings can be used in both residential and commercial settings. The material also can be flowed to create custom logos or images in a wide variety of colors.

“With these rubber safety surfaces, we can create beautiful works of art directly into a flooring surface through the use of custom designs or color,” says Matt Sadl, owner of C and M Concrete. “It really is the fusion of strength, beauty and safety to use these coatings in a variety of settings.”

Common uses for rubber safety surfaces include:
• Pool decks
• Spas
• Steps
• Porches
• Walkways
• Driveways
• Garage or Basement interiors
• Patios
• Retail floors
• Playgrounds and Water Parks
• Childcare facilities
• Country Clubs
• Hotels

 “Many of these settings also could be candidates for aggregate or stamped concrete,” says Sadl. “We handle both concrete and rubber surface material, so we can help guide customers on the benefits of each in whatever setting is being considered.”

C and M has the distributorship for Rubaroc® for the entire state of Missouri and parts of southern Illinois.

Says Sadl, “We encourage prospective customers to visit our website to see the services we offer and to see how the rubber safety surface, in particular, is installed.”

Custom Color, Custom Design in Rubber Safety Surfaces

C and M Concrete Creates Custom Rubber Flooring for St. Louis Rams Training Academy

Chesterfield, MO — The familiar logo of the St. Louis Rams is now embedded into the flooring at the St. Louis Rams Training Academy in Chesterfield, MO, thanks to a specialized rubber safety surfacing product that is slip resistant yet customizable.

The product, a poured-in-place polymer resin and granular rubber material, is installed much like concrete, by hand troweling. It is offered by C and M Concrete, a St. Louis-area concrete contractor, as part of its new rubber safety surfacing division.

C and M Concrete, based in St. Louis, MO, is a specialist in all types of concrete services. The owner, Matt Sadl, and his team are specially trained and certified to install the poured rubber safety surfacing material. Because the product is fluid, it can be manipulated into a myriad of design possibilities.

“We can take a logo or a custom design and create it directly in the rubber safety surfacing,” says Sadl. “The rubber also comes in a wide variety of colors so that we can typically match any logo or design created.”

The flexibility of the rubber safety surfacing means that beautiful works of art can be incorporated into a flooring surface that also is crafted to reduce the risk of slips and falls. The rubber surfacing material can be used indoors or out. It is especially effective for use around swimming pool decks and playgrounds because the material also minimizes heat retention in outdoor settings.
