Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right safety surfacing for my school playground?

Choosing the right safety surfacing for your school playground involves:

Assessing the age range of the children using the playground, as different surfaces cater to varying levels of impact protection.
Evaluating the type of activities that will take place – some surfaces are better suited for high-impact play, while others offer excellent durability for climbing and running.
Considering maintenance requirements and budget constraints – while some surfacing options may have a higher initial cost, they could prove more cost-effective in the long run due to lower upkeep needs.
Ensuring that the chosen surface complies with safety standards and promotes an engaging play environment that encourages physical activity and imaginative play.

How long does playground safety surfacing typically last?

Playground safety surfacing typically lasts between 5 to 15 years, depending on the type of material used and the level of maintenance it receives.

Rubber mulch and bonded rubber surfaces often offer greater durability and resistance to weathering, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

On the other hand, traditional grass or loose-fill materials may require more frequent replacement and upkeep.

Regular inspections and prompt repairs can significantly extend the lifespan of the surfacing, ensuring a safe play environment for children.

Can playground surfacing be installed over existing surfaces?

Yes, playground surfacing can often be installed over existing surfaces, provided that the underlying material is stable, well-drained, and free from any significant damage or debris. This approach can save time and resources, as it eliminates the need for extensive site preparation or excavation.

However, it is crucial to assess the condition of the current surface to ensure it meets safety standards and that the new surfacing will adhere properly.
