FAQs

Do rubber playground safety mats meet regulations for play areas?
Yes. They are tested and meet the requirements of critical fall height. The absorptive nature of the rubber soaks up and spreads impact over a larger surface area, making it a much more forgiving surface.

What are the advantages to safety mats over sand?
Sand can become filled with stray items that you might harm your child if left unseen, as well as this sand and other surfaces like concrete do not react well to water in comparison to rubber safety mats, which instead encourage a faster drainage and have anti-slip properties. They are also much easier to install as no digging is required.

Can I use this to support wheelie bins or would they get stuck?
