RAIN DROP PRODUCTS PARTNERS WITH LIFE FLOOR THROUGH THE SOURCEWELL CONTRACT
Minneapolis, Minn., June 2, 2021 – Life Floor, an aquatic safety surface manufacturer, and
Rain Drop Products, an inclusivity-focused spray feature manufacturer, today announce a
non-exclusive partnership to bring safety surfacing to the national splash pad market. Rain
Drop Products is the first water play feature manufacturer to offer Sourcewell cooperative
purchasing with an NSF certified aquatic safety surface. Together, the companies are
committed to making water play accessible to everyone.
“We are excited to make Life Floor our recommended aquatic safety surface as part of our
inclusive product offerings through the Sourcewell contract. Now, we finally have an aquatic
surface that we can stand behind to deliver safety and great design. And with NSF
certification, our customers can trust they are investing in a surface that serves all their
safety needs.”
Mark Williams, Rain Drop Products CEO
The partnership emphasizes the aquatic industry’s progress towards designing more
waterparks and spray parks using universal design practices. Both companies focus their
design principles around customization to provide accessible spaces for every age and
ability. With Rain Drop Products’ product portfolio of sensory specific features, they believe
adding a slip-resistant, cushioned, and playful surface will complete the inclusive
experience.
“It made complete sense to offer Life Floor through the Sourcewell contract with Rain Drop
Products. We’ve had the chance to collaborate with Rain Drop Products and their
commitment to making safe, inclusive products mirrors our mission to creating safe and
beautiful aquatic spaces for everyone. We’re really excited to see how their team utilizes the
custom design capabilities of Life Floor with their custom features. It’s a huge step toward
building more inclusive aquatic play spaces for multi-generational play.”
Jonathan Keller, Life Floor CEO
By winning the Sourcewell contract, Rain Drop Products and Life Floor will be able to offer
their products for the next four years to municipalities, eliminating the lengthy bid process for
their customers. The reputable contract’s ease of use and savings offered will make NSF
certified aquatic safety surfacing more accessible to the larger market as Life Floor is the
first and only surface currently certified.
