Safe surface on the playground

Safe Surface for Playground

Rubber overlaid mats are a flexible and durable surface that absorbs falls and provides stability on playgrounds. Their openwork structure allows natural grass growth, creating an aesthetic and safe surface. Resistant to wear and weather conditions, they perform well in intensively used areas.

 

Which Surface to Choose for a Playground? Opt for a durable and safe solution

Choosing the right playground surface depends on the environment and its intended use. Traditional solutions like sand or bark do not provide adequate cushioning. It is worth selecting a surface that will be a good financial investment, durable, and resistant to heavy use. Therefore, preschools, schools, developers, and private individuals opt for the purchase and installation of safe playground surfaces, such as rubber overlaid mats.

Rubber overlaid mats are modern rubber surfaces that combine durability, aesthetics, and excellent cushioning properties. The specially designed structure allows grass to grow through, maintaining a natural appearance of the area.

What Safety Standards Do Rubber Overlaid Mats Meet?

Rubber overlaid mats are a type of certified, safe playground surface designed to protect children from injuries caused by falls from various heights.

 

Our rubber overlaid mats are certified with:

• PN-EN 1177 - specifies requirements for surfaces that cushion falls on playgrounds. This standard assesses parameters such as the HIC coefficient, which is the critical height of a fall below which the risk of serious head injuries is minimal.
• BS EN 4790:1987 - ensures that accidental ignition does not spread across the surface.
• PZH - rubber overlaid mats have the PZH certificate, meaning they are safe for children's health and harmless to the environment.
• HIC (Head Injury Criterion) - a key safety parameter used in assessing playground surfaces. It determines the critical fall height, the maximum height from which a child can fall onto a surface without risking a serious head injury. Learn about the HIC acronym? and how it affects playground safety.

 

Our surface has been tested according to the British Standards:

BS EN 1177:2008, obtaining a Positive Result for the critical fall height, aiming to ensure safety for children in case of sudden height changes on playgrounds.

BS 7188:1998+A2:2009, guiding the methodology of the conducted tests.

Why Choose Safe Playground Surfaces from Power Rubber? Benefits

There are several types of safe playground surfaces. When choosing a surface, it is important to check the available options and consult with specialists. At Power Rubber, we recommend rubber overlaid mats - a proven protection against falls according to EN1177. They provide a non-slip surface that can be used at any time of year and in any weather. Let's take a closer look at the key benefits of using safe playground surfaces from Power Rubber:

Safety

Rubber overlaid mats provide a high safety standard on playgrounds. They meet the highest safety standards, including the European standard PN-EN 1177. They effectively cushion falls, minimizing the risk of serious injuries, including head injuries.

Our mats also have a high coefficient of slip resistance that ensures stability and reduces the chances of slipping, even on wet surfaces. The special openwork structure allows water and rain to pass through the holes, leaving a dry surface. This minimizes the risk of falls, increasing safety in the area of use.

Natural Appearance and Water Drainage

Rubber playground mats have holes that allow free growth of small vegetation on the surface they are placed on. The through holes also allow water flow, both from atmospheric precipitation and continuous streams of water, resulting in grass overgrowth that conceals the use of the mat itself, giving the surface a natural look.

In addition to water flow, it is also essential to adjust the mat to the shape of the ground it is placed on. If you have undulating terrain, you can use safe playground surfaces.

 

Low Maintenance

Apart from mowing the grass, no other maintenance is required, significantly reducing operating costs. Thanks to their properties, rubber overlaid mats are extremely durable and provide high performance throughout their period of use. They are highly resistant to temperature changes and adverse weather conditions, making them ideal for outdoor use. Importantly, they do not lift or move during strong winds.

Easy Installation

Easy installation allows for the use of cable ties and mounting pegs. Simply connect the edges of the openwork mats to create a stable surface.

 

Environmentally Friendly

Our rubber overlaid mats are made from recycled materials, making them environmentally friendly!

 

Versatile Application

A key feature of the mat is its wide and easy application. We can efficiently adapt our mat to the desired shape using a utility knife and adult help, making it suitable for outdoor physical activity facilities commonly referred to as outdoor gyms or fitness centers.

Customers choose our openwork mats as the main mat used in a wide range of gastronomy establishments. Check out what lies behind the counter or in the corridors in the back. The mat reduces noise from falling kitchen equipment. We have received feedback from customers about the saved inventory of glass equipment.
