A slide is one of the basic pieces of equipment on every playground. Grass-permeable mats made of rubber prevent injuries that threaten health and life, depending on the type of fall. They provide the greatest shock absorption among materials such as: sand, turf, mulch. Rubber mats under a slide or swing are extremely durable and resistant to heavy use. They work excellently as a protective layer under a slide for the youngest children.

Grass-permeable mats under slides and swings

Grass-permeable mats are a solution designed to create a safe surface in places prone to falls, including under slides and swings. Their openwork construction allows grass to grow through the holes in the mat, so the surface can retain a natural appearance while protecting the ground from being trampled. The rubber construction of the grass-permeable mats also provides shock-absorbing properties, and the holes allow rainwater to drain. Thanks to this, the mats can be used in heavily used areas where grass alone quickly becomes damaged.

Advantages of using mats under slides for the youngest

Safety

Anti-slip properties

A rubber mat installed under a slide or swing provides very good grip and safety, even during play in the rain. It minimizes the risk of accidental slipping and related injuries.

Shock absorption

The rubber surface is flexible and resilient, so it absorbs shocks, reducing injuries related to falls. Additionally, it has anti-fatigue properties.

Beveled edges

The rubber surface has specially beveled edges that reduce the risk of tripping.  

Durability

Safe playground mats have high resistance to impact and heavy use. Due to their resistance to mechanical damage and weather conditions, they are characterized by a long service life. They do not need to be replaced or repaired frequently.  

Ground protection and aesthetic appearance

Safe mats under a slide or swing are available in various colors. They can be matched to an individual design. Mats under slides protect the ground, preventing the formation of holes and depressions in the soil and sinkage. They prevent the formation of muddy puddles.  

Easy installation and maintenance

Rubber mats can be installed directly on existing ground or flooring. They do not move or slip on the surface on which they have been laid. An advantage of rubber mats is their water permeability. After rain, water does not collect on them, so they are free of mold. They guarantee low maintenance costs and easy care. Safe rubber mats for playgrounds will work under slides, swings, ladders, climbing walls and places where there is a risk of falling from a height.
