Does Rainbow Mulch Get Hot?
Like most outdoor surfaces exposed to direct sunlight, Rainbow Mulch can become warm on hot, sunny days.
Rainbow Mulch is made from closed-cell rubber. The material contains tiny pockets and a textured surface profile that help regulate temperature. This unique structure is one of the reasons Rainbow Mulch performs differently than many traditional playground surfacing materials.
As with any playground surfacing, lighter colors and shaded areas will generally remain cooler than darker colors in direct sunlight. On especially hot days, it is always a good idea to check the surface before use.
