What is a Safety Surface?

The material lying beneath and surrounding swings, slides, monkey bars, and other playground equipment is known as a playground surface.

An impact-absorbent surface is usually constructed of wood or rubber and are built with aesthetics, kid safety, and/or ADA wheelchair accessibility in mind.

Professional Safety Surface Installers Near Me

We can install our impact absorbent surfaces under playground equipment as they meet BS EN 1777 standards, passing safety requirements for young children.

We are professional safety surface installers and will only make use of premium material so you can be sure the installation of your absorbent surface is carried out to a top-quality standard.

Our safety surfaces are also SuDS compliant; they are permeable floors that allow water to drain through easily.

The advantage of porous flooring is that children can play on the playground all year round since it will not get muddy or waterlogged.

What is Currently Being Done About Playground Material Hazards?

There are various playground risks, including those caused by equipment, the environment, and, unfortunately, a lack of child supervision.

Playground ground surface covering that is not an impact-absorbent surface such as a layer of rocks, grass, gravel, cement, brick, and stone is highly inappropriate.

None of these surfaces protects a child's skin or limbs if they fall, and several of them aggravate the fall. Soft ground covering such as rubber and wood chips are ideal.

What is the Price of Playground Flooring?

The price of nearby playground flooring is affected by several different factors. One of the biggest aspects that affect the costs of playground absorbent surface is the type of flooring you choose to install.

If you're thinking about installing coloured wetpour for your play area, you may find this to be more expensive than if you were to have rubberised mulch installed.

We may alter our designs and specifications to suit your individual budgets.

For example, if you want wetpour installed but you want a more cost-effective option, you may consider a plain black background with coloured graphics installed rather than coloured flooring.

Another factor that can alter the cost of playground flooring would be the area size and thickness required.

Clearly, if there is a smaller area, the construction cost will be cheaper overall - despite the increased rates per sqm. Additionally, thicker surfaces will generally have a higher rate per sqm too.

Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding your spending budget and requirements, as we are happy to talk through our specification and changes which could be made.
