Rubber surfacing doesn't get hot because it has a unique property of being able to reflect sunlight and dissipate heat. Unlike other materials such as concrete or asphalt, rubber surfacing does not absorb heat, which is why it remains cool to the touch even on the hottest days. This is because rubber is porous, which act as an insulator against heat transfer. Additionally, the color of the rubber surfacing plays a crucial role in preventing it from getting hot. Dark colors tend to absorb more heat, while lighter colors reflect heat away from the surface, keeping it cool.

Rubber surfacing is not affected by winter due to its ability to remain flexible and durable in sub-zero temperatures. Its natural insulating properties prevent surfaces from freezing, reducing the risk of slips and falls, while its slip-resistant properties provide excellent traction in snowy and icy conditions. Additionally, rubber surfacing is resistant to cracking, peeling, and fading, which makes it an ideal choice for outdoor surfaces in winter climates.
