Frequently Asked Questions
Is your playground rubber flooring safe for children?
Yes. Our playground safety tiles are manufactured to meet EN 1177 critical fall height standards. The rubber absorbs impact energy, significantly reducing injury risk from falls. Suitable for schools, nurseries, and public play areas.
What thickness do I need for playground safety tiles?
The required thickness depends on the critical fall height of equipment. As a guide: 40mm for equipment up to 1.5m, 50mm for up to 2m, 60mm for up to 3m. We can advise on your specific installation.
Can playground rubber tiles be used outdoors?
Yes. Our playground safety tiles are UV-stabilised and designed for outdoor use. They drain effectively in rain, won't warp or fade, and are frost-resistant for year-round UK use.
How are the tiles installed?
Tiles are interlocking and can be laid dry on a flat, stable surface such as concrete or compacted hardcore. For permanent installations, we recommend using rubber adhesive around the perimeter. No special tools required.
Are these tiles suitable for wheelchair users?
Yes. Playground rubber safety tiles provide a firm, level surface suitable for wheelchairs and mobility aids. The anti-slip finish also benefits pushchairs and buggies.
