For a project, I'm looking for a cladding-material and a surface material (outdoors) that has a rubber-like texture and feel (seemless, slightly "bouncy") and is available in a broad range of colours. Does anybody have any experience with a material like that?

Trojan....makes alot of products you might find helpful in your school project...seemless, slightly bouncy, lubricated and textured to your ladies liking.. and if you want color ....they do that to. My experience has been grand....no kiddies running around that I know of.

I've seen some surface material under playground equipment at a local park that might be interesting to use. Not sure what it is, but I bet the google knows

also, rubber mostly comes in black, but otherwise fits your description nicely. Pretty cheap too.

the facade of 013 is EPDM, the roof covering-stuff... It doesn't quite have the right texture...
Thanks for the tips though. Even though I'm quite sure I'm not going to be able to convince the client to put xl-condoms on the facade of his building....

What's that stuff they use in padded rooms? I know it's smooth, since it has to be easy to clean, and definitely gets the bouncy aspect... Not sure about any colors besides Creamy Ward though...

Can you just use rubber instead of "rubber-like"? It does come in colors, at least for flooring it does.

Rubber could definitely be used, but technically speaking, I'm not sure about the application on facades...
I'd better contact a decent rubber-producer....

I don't know if this example will help but if you haven't seen it you could look at NL Studio's WAS 8. I had thought it was rubber but when I looked it up it turns out it's clad in polyurethane resin. So seamless that they had to go back and cut out the doors once they put it on. Not bouncy though.

While I was trying to remember the name of that building I came across a building that DID use rubber on the facade, as soundproofing. It looks like they had to use rivets or something to keep it attached.

update: according to this the studs are only decoration to create a quilted effect, and it sounds like it could just as easily been kept seamless.

PVC isn't rubber-like in my opinion. PVC uses doesn't retain shape once stretched.

I mean the term rubber is loosely a class definition for a variety of polymers that exhibit certain qualities.

So, I'm not entirely sure how you can have a non-rubber rubber unless you mean non-natural-latex rubber?
