By absorbing the impact of falls, progressively deforming, the safety surfaces offered by Playgrounds for Schools help to prevent serious head injuries. Their all-weather characteristics mean that they can transform damp, muddy areas into spaces that can be used all year round.

Flexitop – A durable and versatile impact absorbing surface

‘Flexitop’ is a versatile wet-pour safer surface and a leading UK brand. Available in a wide range of colours and fall heights, the surface is hard-wearing, free-draining, non-slip and can be laid directly onto existing tarmac. Imaginative use of the various colours can be used as a design tool to liven up the dullest of areas, making them more fun, brighter and lighter.

No Mow – An ideal surface for awkward areas

‘No Mow’ is ideal for areas which readily turn to unsightly dust or mud, and is also suited as an all weather surface around trees. ‘No Mow’ can be laid directly on top of existing grass areas, provided that a geotextile membrane and a layer of sand are installed beforehand. However, please talk to us about poorly drained areas which may additionally require groundwork. ‘No Mow’ can even be laid onto existing tarmac to provide a soft and attractive area. It has a 1.0m fall height

Tiger Mulch – A safer surface with so many other uses

Tiger Mulch is a mixture of recycled shredded truck tyre rubber and a specially formulated high performance polyurethane binder. The shredded rubber is colour-coated in a factory process using a variety of colours. The overall effect is that it looks very much like a natural bark / wood chip surface, but the difference is that it’s bound together – so it won’t scuff out – and it will never rot away. Tiger Mulch is very different from other rubberised play surfaces, not only in its appearance, but also in the extent of preparation work that is required before it can be laid.

Rubber Scrub – Surfacing cleansing and refurbishment

Rubber surfaces make a ready environment for the micro-organisms that lead to the growth of mosses, moulds and algae’s. Not only do such growths look unsightly, but they can also make for very slippery conditions.

‘Rubber Scrub’ is a process designed specifically to clean and reinvigorate dirty and worn surfaces. The process cleans deeply, killing organic growth and physically removing filth and grime. Non-slip and resilient properties are restored and the surface can look as good as new.
