Safety Surfacing for Playgrounds and Recreation Areas

Flexflooring Ltd offers the perfect solution for those looking for a safe, stylish and seamless surface for playgrounds and recreation areas.  Our brightly coloured non-slip rubber floors compliment play equipment perfectly and crucially provide a safe environment for children to play.  Our non-slip rubber floors are specifically designed to reduce the incidence of injuries from slipping and tripping, as well as falls from equipment.

Flexflooring is aware of the importance of safety and for this reason our non-slip safety surface is made up of two layers; the base, which acts as the spring or absorbent mattress and the protective wearing course.  We are able to advise you on the necessary depth of the flooring, depending on the critical fall height required.  We also recommend that in high traffic areas, such as under play equipment (e.g. swing base, slides, fireman’s pole etc.) you consider installing full colour EPDM wear pads.

Our quality guarantee; Rubbaflex Safer Surfacing system has been fully tested in accordance with the European standards set out to EN1177:1998 and BS7188.  Certification is available to download.

We have over 10 years experience of installing non-slip rubber surfaces for playgrounds and recreation parks and have created the perfect product for such areas:

Rubbaflex Safer Surfacing a 1-4mm blend of EPDM rubber granules  which create a strong breathable surface that can deal with the rigours of high foot traffic.

  • Rubbaflex Safer Surfacing is a fully porous safety surface that allows water to disperse efficiently.
  • Rubbaflex Safer Surfacing can be laid in a range of colours, ensuring that the finished design can be tailored to suit your needs.
  • Motifs, patterns, figures, numbers, games and lettering can also be incorporated as required adding creative touches and visual aids during playtime to excite children of all ages.

Key questions to answer for a quote or ballpark cost
Should you require a quote or be interested in getting a ballpark cost for our non-slip safety surface, it would be helpful if you know the answers to the following questions when you get in touch:

  • What is the approx area of your installation in m²?
  • What is the geographic location of the site?
  • Is your installation under cover or outside?
  • Is your installation a new build or refurbishment?
  • Does your installation have play equipment on?
    • If so, can you list each piece of equipment
    • And do you know the free fall height for each piece of equipment (this should be provided by the manufacturer of the equipment)?
  • What colours would you like?

Surface Preparation
Key to any successful installation is the preparation of the substrate and we offer a full surface preparation service.  We are therefore happy to provide quotes for surface preparation and undertake this aspect of the project if necessary.
Our own experience has shown that the correct preparation can significantly increase the life of our Rubbaflex Safer Surfacing and safety is of paramount concern.  Rubbaflex Safer Surfacing can be installed on to:

  • A new or existing concrete hard base.
  • Type 1 compacted stone (laid at 75 – 100mm).

Surface Depth
The depth of our surface is dependent on the usage and equipment installed.

  • If the area is purely for running around, we recommend installing 15-20mm onto a hard surface or 40mm onto a compressed stone base.
  • If the area is under play equipment we recommend that the depth of surface should accommodate the appropriate Critical Fall Height.  Further details are available on our downloads page.
