Authorised Life Floor® Distributor · UAE & GCC
Aquatic Safety Flooring for the UAE and GCC
Around a pool, on a splash pad, across a waterpark deck — the floor is where safety is won or lost. Wet, barefoot and busy with children, an aquatic surface has to grip without grazing, cushion a fall, shrug off pool chemicals and UV, and still look extraordinary. Raymond Sport is the Authorised Distributor and Certified Installer of Life Floor® for the UAE and the wider GCC — the award-winning, NSF-50 certified aquatic surfacing used at Atlantis The Palm and in more than 3,800 installations across 60+ countries. We design, supply, install and maintain it locally.
Authorised Distributor & Certified Installer Life Floor® aquatic surfacing — UAE & GCC
What Is Life Floor?
Life Floor® is the original aquatic safety surfacing — a modular tile system engineered specifically for wet areas with barefoot traffic. Made in the USA by MNY Group and used worldwide since 2011, it combines slip resistance, cushioning and vivid, custom design in a single certified product.
Raymond Sport supplies and installs Life Floor across the UAE and GCC as its authorised regional partner. That means the same product specified by aquatic designers globally, installed to the manufacturer's certified method, with local support and maintenance.

Why it is not just “rubber flooring”
| Consideration | Wet-Pour / EPDM Rubber General surfacing | Life Floor Aquatic Tile Certified aquatic system |
|---|---|---|
| Designed for | General play areas, some wet use | Purpose-built for aquatic, barefoot, wet environments |
| Certification | Varies | Six safety standards, including NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 |
| Design | Colour blends and inlays | Custom murals, thematic tiles, brand worlds |
| Consistency | Site-mixed, installer-dependent | Factory-made tiles, repeatable quality |
| Where it belongs | Playgrounds, sports areas | Splash pads, pool decks, waterparks, wet play |
Both have their place — and Raymond Sport supplies both. But where the specification calls for a certified aquatic surface, and increasingly in the UAE it does, Life Floor is the product designers name.

Certified to Six Safety Standards
This is what separates a certified aquatic surface from a coloured floor that happens to be near water. The certifications are held by Life Floor for the tested product — Raymond Sport supplies and installs it, and hands you the paperwork.
NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 50Interactive Water Play Venues
The benchmark standard for splash pads and water play surfaces.
NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 50Pool Deck Perimeters
Certified for the wet deck around a pool — where most slips happen.
DIN EN 13451-1European Standard
The European standard for swimming pool equipment and surfaces.
IMO CertificationMarine
The marine standard — the reason Life Floor goes on cruise ship decks, and proof it survives anything.
ADA ComplianceAccessibility
Accessibility for users of all abilities.
IBCCES Certified Autism ResourceSensory Inclusivity
Sensory and inclusivity certification — a genuine differentiator for family venues.
This is the exact performance set a UAE aquatic environment demands — where chlorine, direct sun and barefoot children all meet on the same surface, every day of the year.
Certification is held by the manufacturer for the tested product. Raymond Sport supplies the certified system and installs it to the certified method — and provides the documentation your consultant or authority will ask for.
Where Life Floor Is Installed
One certified surface, wherever water and bare feet meet. From a nursery splash pad to a flagship waterpark deck — and, because the certifications cover marine use, all the way to a cruise ship.
Splash Pads & Spray Parks
Signature UseZero-depth wet play where children run, slip and fall constantly — exactly what the surface is engineered for. Cushioning and slip resistance where it matters most, in any colour and any theme.
Waterparks
High-traffic, high-visibility, heavily themed. Murals and destination tiles turn a functional deck into part of the attraction. Atlantis The Palm was one of the first venues in the world to install it.
Pool Decks
NSF-50The wet perimeter is where most slips happen. Certified specifically for pool deck perimeters — exactly where a painted or tiled deck is at its most dangerous.
Hotels & Resorts
Kids' clubs, family pools, lazy rivers and themed features. As much about brand and guest experience as safety — and thematic design is where Life Floor is unmatched.
Wellness & Aquatic Centres
ADAHydrotherapy zones, wet changing areas and accessible facilities, where the ADA and inclusivity certifications matter as much as slip resistance.
Cruise & Marine
IMOIMO-certified for marine use — the standard that lets Life Floor go on a ship deck, and the same one that proves it survives anything a UAE waterpark can produce.
Design — Colour, Murals and Thematic Worlds
Safety is the requirement. Design is the reason clients choose Life Floor over anything else. It is the only aquatic surface that lets a resort build its brand into the floor.
Full Colour Range
A wide standard palette, blended and combined to any scheme.
Murals
Hand-crafted, highly detailed images built into the floor — for iconic, immersive themed environments.
Destination Tiles
Pre-designed graphic tiles — sea creatures, maps, games and wayfinding.
Custom Design
Brand worlds designed from the ground up, matched to a resort or attraction's identity.
Shapes & Finishing Details
Borders, transitions and bespoke edges that finish a space properly — the details that separate a considered installation from a covered floor.
For a UAE resort or waterpark, the floor becomes part of the story guests remember — and, uniquely, the part they are standing on.
Raymond Sport works with clients and Life Floor's design studio to specify colour, murals and layout for each project — from first concept to the installed, certified surface.

Maintenance and Care
Life Floor is engineered to be cleaned, and to last in exactly the conditions that destroy lesser surfaces — chlorine, sun, constant water and heavy barefoot traffic.
| Interval | Task |
|---|---|
| Daily / Operational | Rinse and clear debris. The impermeable surface does not absorb water or contaminants, so cleaning is fast. |
| Weekly | Wash with an approved cleaner; check drainage and transitions. |
| Periodic | Deep clean per the manufacturer's guidance. |
| Tile System Advantage As Required |
Individual tiles can be addressed without redoing the whole area — the repair is a tile, not a shutdown. |
not relaid whole
Because Life Floor is a tile system, wear or damage is dealt with tile by tile — not by tearing up and relaying a whole poured surface. In a high-traffic waterpark, that is the difference between swapping a few tiles overnight and closing a zone for days. It is a real operating advantage over wet-pour, and it is the number a facilities director cares about.
Raymond Sport provides the cleaning guidance and aftercare locally, and supports maintenance across the surface's life — the same team that installed it, on hand for the years that follow.
Aquatic Flooring: Frequently Asked Questions
The questions resorts, waterparks, hotels and municipalities ask us most often about Life Floor aquatic surfacing in the UAE.
What is aquatic safety flooring?
A surface engineered specifically for wet areas with barefoot traffic — slip-resistant, cushioned, impermeable and resistant to pool chemicals and UV. Life Floor, the system Raymond Sport supplies and installs in the UAE, is a certified modular tile designed for exactly these conditions.
Is Life Floor available in the UAE?
Yes. Raymond Sport is the Authorised Distributor and Certified Installer of Life Floor for the UAE and the wider GCC — supplying the certified product and installing it to the manufacturer's method, with local design support and maintenance.
What is the difference between Life Floor and rubber wet-pour flooring?
Wet-pour rubber is a poured, site-mixed surface used across general play areas. Life Floor is a factory-made, aquatic-specific tile system certified to six safety standards, including NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 for water play venues and pool decks. Where a project calls for a certified aquatic surface, Life Floor is the specified product. Raymond Sport supplies both.
Is Life Floor certified for splash pads and pool decks?
Yes — it carries NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 50 certification for both interactive water play venues and pool deck perimeters, alongside DIN EN 13451, IMO, ADA and IBCCES certifications. Raymond Sport supplies the certified system and the supporting documentation your consultant or authority will ask for.
Does Life Floor handle UAE sun and pool chemicals?
It is tested for UV and chemical resistance as part of its certification, which is precisely why it suits the UAE — where chlorine, direct sun and constant wet, barefoot use meet on one surface.
Can Life Floor be customised with our branding or a theme?
Yes. Beyond a full colour range, Life Floor offers murals, destination tiles and fully custom designs — brand worlds built into the floor. Raymond Sport works with clients and the Life Floor design studio to specify each project.
How much does aquatic flooring cost in the UAE?
It depends on area, product selection (standard tiles, murals or custom design), substrate condition and finishing details. Raymond Sport prices against a drawn specification rather than a blanket rate, because a themed waterpark deck and a plain pool surround are very different projects.
Do you install Life Floor across the GCC?
Yes. As Life Floor's authorised partner for the region, Raymond Sport delivers across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait.
