Products & Services

Rubber Refectory converts end-of-life tyres into engineered rubber bricks and specialised barrier systems for security, flood protection, sound insulation, and road safety. These solutions are designed to be durable, fire-retardant, and environmentally responsible, while contributing to South Africa's circular economy.

Rubber Bricks – Core Building Block

At the heart of Rubber Refectory's product range is a heavy-duty rubber brick manufactured from processed waste tyres, bound with a polyurethane-based adhesive system for strength and durability.

Dimensions: 300mm × 500mm × 250mm
Weight: Approximately 50kg per brick
Fire-retardant: Rubber and binder system designed to resist ignition and limit flame spread
Structural performance: High density and energy absorption characteristics support a range of security, flood, and insulation applications

Primary Product Lines

SmartEnforcer – Security Barriers

Perimeter & Critical Infrastructure Protection

SmartEnforcer is a modular rubber brick barrier system designed to protect high-value sites, perimeters, and critical infrastructure with a robust, impact-resistant wall.

Typical installation height of around 2.2 metres.
Anti-climb characteristics due to mass, surface texture, and modular design.
Fire-retardant properties reduce the risk of arson or fire-based attacks.
High impact resistance and energy absorption help dissipate collision forces.
Suitable for facilities such as substations, depots, logistics hubs, and community infrastructure.

StormEnforcer – Flood Defence Barriers

Rapid Deployment Flood Protection

StormEnforcer repurposes rubber bricks into fast-deployable flood defence walls that can be installed ahead of severe weather events and removed or reconfigured as conditions change.

Engineered to work with waterproof silicone sealing systems.
Rapid deployment using preconfigured modules and simple installation techniques.
Reusable barrier units that can be redeployed season after season.
Designed for flood-prone communities, municipal infrastructure, and industrial sites.
Supports climate adaptation strategies and disaster risk reduction efforts.

Sound Insulation Solutions

Noise Barriers for Transport & Industry

Rubber Refectory's bricks and panels can be configured as acoustic barriers to reduce noise from roads, railways, industrial facilities, and airports.

Dense rubber structure helps absorb and deflect sound.
Custom wall geometries and finishes can be tailored to specific sites.
Ideal for highways, logistics corridors, industrial estates, and airport perimeters.
Supports healthier living environments in nearby communities.

Roadside Crash Barriers

Energy-Absorbing Safety Systems

Rubber-based roadside crash barriers are designed to absorb impact energy, reduce damage to vehicles and infrastructure, and improve overall road safety.

Energy absorption helps reduce peak forces experienced during collisions.
Potential reduction in maintenance costs compared to conventional barriers.
Supports safer road networks and can be integrated with existing infrastructure.

Secondary Products

Recovered Steel Wire

Tyres contain significant quantities of high-strength steel wire. During processing, this wire is separated and cleaned for sale to steel recyclers.

Recovered steel becomes a valuable input back into steel manufacturing.
Supports circular use of materials and reduces demand for virgin ore.

Textile Fibre

Fine textile fibre removed from tyres can be repurposed for use in insulation and other industrial applications.

Fibre material can be blended into insulation and composite products.
Creates an additional revenue stream while minimising waste sent to landfill.

Services

Rubber Refectory supports clients across the full lifecycle of each installation, from initial site assessment to long-term performance.

Site Assessment

Technical teams assess each site to understand security, flood, noise, or safety requirements and recommend appropriate Rubber Refectory solutions.

Professional Installation

Installation partners are trained to deploy SmartEnforcer, StormEnforcer, and other systems safely and efficiently, ensuring consistent performance.

Custom Design Consultations

Engineering and design support is available to tailor barrier layouts, heights, finishes, and integration with existing infrastructure.

Contractor Training

Contractors and local crews can be trained in best practices for handling, assembling, and maintaining rubber brick systems.
