Safety and Critical Fall Height Testing
Our outdoor rubber playground mats have been tested for their Critical Fall Height (against BS EN1177-1998), ranging from 0.6m to 1.8m. Our playground mats are made from natural rubber, so they are both sturdy and hard-wearing. Natural rubber also has some resistance to chemicals and oils. Most of our outdoor rubber matting for playgrounds conforms to the Slip Resistance Test EN 13552 Category R10.
We also offer playground safety matting that is the best in terms of flammability safety and has been tested to BS 7188:1998 Method 7.
Playground Matting Types
Our playground mats are suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. We offer various surface finishes such as smooth, honeycomb and mats that allow grass to grow through them.
PlayProtect Honeycomb Matting
Our PlayProtect Playground Mats are a low-cost option, ideal for covering larger floor areas. Their open honeycomb pattern allows them to be partially sunk into the ground and for grass to grow through, creating a more natural floor surface. The honeycomb playground mats are critical fall height tested to 1.0m, ensuring a comfortable and safe playing surface for children.
PlaySafe Interlocking Rubber Tiles
The PlaySafe playground mat tiles are a thicker and more durable option. They are ideal for under swings or other equipment, as the holes are intended for drainage rather than for grass growth. They also have interlocking lugs, allowing them to be joined together for a stronger floor surface. The thicker rubber these playground mat tiles are made from provides a more durable, long-lasting surface and is fall height tested to 0.6m.
Using Rubber Playground Mats Outdoors
Rubber playground matting usually contains hols, which, depending on the area you are covering, can allow grass to grow through them, giving them a natural look and feel.
This particular type of playground matting is highly durable and provides high levels of erosion control, which is great for areas with lots of foot traffic, causing bare patches. They are also easily maintained, as grass can be cut through a mower when the playground matting is installed.
