Rubber grass mats (also known as Safagrass) provide non-slip, impact-absorbing safety and footway surfaces, perfect for outdoor play areas. These durable mats allow grass to grow through them, blending into the environment. Available in black or green, they’re ideal for for fitness/fun trails, cableways, most multi-function play frames, springers, swings, and pathways, offering hidden protection and an eco-friendly solution.
Recycled rubber chippings are a superior loose-fill option for playgrounds, offering numerous benefits over traditional wood chips. They are fire-retardant, non-toxic, and require much less depth – starting at just 50mm compared to 200mm for woodchips. These rubber bark chippings need to be contained by an edge or border for optimal use and provide a durable, low-maintenance solution for both residential playgrounds and commercial play areas. Plus, their quick-drying properties help prevent puddles, allowing for extended playtime.
Our bonded rubber bark is a recycled, resin-bonded solution available in natural colours, offering a seamless and porous surface. It works well in uneven areas, providing excellent slip resistance and stays dry year-round. This low-maintenance, durable surface can be installed on compacted soil, grass, tarmac, or concrete, making it ideal for parks, schools, and play spaces.
PLEASE NOTE THAT A MINIMUM CHARGE OF £ 3,000+ VAT applies to supply and install Bonded Rubber bark up to 20m2. Excludes remote areas.
Wetpour surfacing offers a vibrant, durable play area finish with a dual-layer porous system (SBR base and EPDM rubber top layer). This surface requires a specific base such as concrete, tarmac, or MOT1 with PCC or treated timber edging. Available in various colours with optional graphic elements, wet pour rubber surfacing works well for flat, mounded, or ramped structures. Wetpour is especially ideal for nurseries as it doesn’t rub off on clothes and the colour is long-lasting, setting it apart from bonded rubber options. Installed on a sturdy base, this long-lasting surface provides critical fall height protection and vibrant aesthetics for public play areas, ensuring safety and enjoyment for children.
PLEASE NOTE THAT A MINIMUM CHARGE OF £ 3,000+ VAT applies to supply and install Wetpour up to 20m2. Excludes remote areas.
Our high-tech artificial grass offers year-round, low-maintenance appeal. It’s ideal for landscaping or play areas, providing a realistic grass aesthetic with various depth options. When combined with a rubber infill, it ensures safety through critical fall height protection, making it great for both homes and commercial areas.
PLEASE NOTE THAT A MINIMUM CHARGE OF £ 3,000+ VAT applies to supply and install Artificial Grass up to 20m2. Excludes remote areas.
Rubber tiles are perfect for hard, even surfaces like tarmac or concrete, offering flexibility and safety. Interconnecting and available in different sizes and colours, they create a floating floor without adhesive.
