Safety surfacing

Our TigerMulch bonded rubber mulch, rubber wet pour and artificial grass all make for excellent surfaces for the school playground environment.

Whether a surface is needed to provide a critical fall height for a piece of equipment, or a large run around area is desired to help children let off steam before going back to the classroom, we have the solution for either.

TigerMulch works fantastically when a natural look is wanted, mimicking the appearance of bark chips but without the hassle of year round maintenance. Its not slip properties mean it works well in all seasons, and is ideally suited as the material for a mile a day exercise track.

Our rubber wet pour surfaces are perfect for turning concrete or tarmac areas into a soft play zone, whilst artificial grass gives a natural, green space without get muddy or the need to maintain.

Expert advice: please do talk to use about essential sub base preparation work required when installing a new safety surface. This is an imperative part of any installation, despite what you may be told by other companies. We strongly recommend a suitable sub base is built to avoid problems with settlement and flooding.

Fun and Exciting

Playground equipment

We all know outdoor play is a crucial element in child development, with balancing, climbing and coordination skills all playing important roles as children grow older. The health benefits, both physically and mentally, of such activities are well documented.

Our Lappset equipment allows children to play together and co operate, or play alone if needed.

It powers physical growth with the use of climbing, crawling and swinging activities whilst at the same time developing coordination, balance and vestibular skills.

Creativity is nurtured by many themed items, such as boats and castles, that allow a child’s imagination to run riot – perfect for fantasy and role play!

So, whether you are looking to enhance you EYFS area with low level equipment, wanting a challenging multiplay item with climbing, balancing and sliding for older children, or are looking for a large ship that spans all age ranges, we have got the solution for you!

Adventure Trails with a difference

Our trim trails are truly something special and very different from the standard trim trails common throughout the country.

We have retained the great advantages of Trim Trails utilising flexible layout for difficult or constrained spaces and modest costs but have also included some new aspects.

Different designs including climbing trails, steel footings to prevent rotting at ground level, usage of High Pressure Laminate in the structural pieces for longer product life and glue laminated timber supports. 

This material will not split and retains its colour – unlike conventional round wood trim trails which are prone to rotting, splitting and warping.

Solutions for Schools Lacking Playground Space

How can you magically create space for a big playground piece in a very restricted space? The answer is to create a vertical playground!

We have 2 different custom designs for vertical playgrounds.  As these are custom pieces they can be designed in a wide variety of dimensions (but always go upwards). 

What’s more, despite their height they can have fantastic play features for lots of children and still not require a safety surface.

FlexiTop Colourful Wet Pour Rubber Safety Surface

Our wet pour rubber surfaces are very popular in schools and nurseries as they are:

  • Hard wearing
  • Non-slip
  • Colourful and inviting
  • Porous (so should not become waterlogged)
  • Fully compliant with EN 1176 and EN 1177 safety standards.

Colourful wet pour with precise computer aided design encourages play.

TigerMulch – Bound Rubber Mulch

Our Bound Rubber Mulch (TigerMulch) is a natural looking alternative to bark, but with improved safety properties and vastly reduced maintenance.

  • High durability
  • Low maintenance (no need to keep refilling)
  • Great safety properties (Fully compliant with EN 1176 and EN 1177)
  • Quick to install, so great value for money
  • Non-slip
  • Very porous and free draining

Our bound rubber mulch is also great for tree pits and high wear areas.

Synthetic or Artificial Grass

Where possible it is best for children to be playing on real grass.  However, we recognise that this is not always possible due to natural grass being unable to cope with high foot traffic and may also have drainage issues and maintenance issues.  Our Artificial grass solves these issues:

  • A year-round “green” area is a great asset. It brightens the environment and encourages activity outdoors.
  • Low maintenance
  • Can have improved drainage installed – the synthetic grass itself is porous (free draining)
  • With the correct subsurface can also be an effective safety surface
  • Reduces mess and cleaning costs as children don’t bring mud and dirt inside

Our synthetic turf is hard wearing and gives a great natural look.

Safety Surface Deep Clean – Extend the life of your playground!

When an outdoor surface becomes very dirty and wet, it is often very slippery.  Our deep clean service can restore a tired playground making it like new.

  • Safety, non-slip and resilient properties restored (including improved drainage)
  • Kills moss / mould and inhibits moss and mould regrowth
  • Restores colours
  • Play areas only closed for a short period of time during cleaning
  • Equally effective on black and coloured surfaces
  • Works well on rubberised sports surfaces too
  • Can also work on concrete and tarmac too
  • No other process cleans so deeply and so effectively

A deep clean of a safety surface with our specialist solution not only makes it safer (by making it less slippery) but also restores the porosity, making it less likely to flood AND restores the original colours.

High Wear Pathways and Daily Mile Tracks

There are often areas in schools and nurseries where grass areas and stone paths become eroded and create problems.  This is especially the case in schools participating in (the fantastic!) Daily Mile initiative.

We have some fantastic solutions for running tracks, Daily Mile tracks and pathways that solve these issues.  Our rubberised pathways are durable and porous and  also feel lovely to walk or run on.  Even better their rubber base makes them  gentle on children’s joints.
