Color Combinations Do You Want

The EPDM wear layer can be constructed of almost unlimited color combinations. Here at the turf, we take pride in the beautiful color combinations we can develop. You can measure the cost of poured-in-place rubber by what colors you want to use in your mixture.

Since color granules are created specifically for use in the wear layer, they are almost 4 times more expensive than an alternate rubber. Most customers save money by mixing their desired color with black Rubber granules. Rubber is normally less porous than EPDM, but is cheaper and can help our customers cut costs in the long run.

Cost of Maintenance

The amount of necessary maintenance varies from surface to surface, and no surface is completely maintenance. Check with your surface manufacturer or reseller for the recommended maintenance program for the surface you choose.

Loose-Fill Surfacing

Generally speaking, engineered wood fibre and other loose-fill material need weekly and monthly inspections. The weekly or bi-weekly maintenance should check on high traffic areas such as the entrance and exits of equipment to ensure sufficient depth of surface. Because it is loose, material can easily be kicked around and dispersed, requiring it to be raked level or topped off. Monthly, dig down in the fall zones to be sure there is enough depth for optimum fall protection. By installing more than enough thickness of surface than is actually needed, you can remain confident in between inspections that the fall depth is safe.

Unitary Surfacing

For unitary surfaces, inspections can be done on a less frequent basis, but as they age they can become less resilient. After three years, request a drop test to be sure the surface offers the necessary fall protection. Some manufacturers may offer this service as part of the initial package.

Outdoor Playground Flooring Options

After you’ve selected the slides, swings, and other playground equipment necessary to create the play experience you desire, you’ll need to choose a surface material to go underneath it all. Depending on the area’s climate, your budget, the playground equipment you’ve chosen, and how often the area will be maintained, several types of surface materials can be safe for your playground. We offer a variety of options for playground safety surfacing.

Kids’ Outdoor Rubber Safety Paver

Even if you’ve decided to use mulch as your primary safety surface, you may want to consider adding a rubber safety paver. In playground areas at the end of a slide or under a swing, playground mulch can be easily pushed out of place, which is why these are good places to put outdoor rubber paver. Laying a rubber paver playground paver under the swings as an outdoor playground paver will reduce maintenance and keep children safer. You can buy an outdoor playground paver at the bottom of the slide, under a spinner, or surrounding merry-go-rounds and teeter-totters.

Playground Safety Rubber Paver

You can cover your entire play area with rubber safety Paver, which come in a variety of thicknesses to cushion falls from different heights. The paver is simple to install and can be locked together with adhesive, producing a smooth, solid surface that can’t be pushed out of place like mulch can. In many cases, these can be a more economical choice than poured-in-place surfacing.

Playground Wood Chips

One of the most common types of surfacing materials people purchase is playground wood chips. Wood mulch is found on playgrounds across the country, and it’s one of the most popular playground mulch options because of its low initial cost. Wood chips give enough added cushioning to prevent injuries if a child falls while playing or slips when climbing. The impact rating depends on how thick the wood chips are, but 8 inches of wood chips are usually sufficient to cushion an 8-foot fall. Wood chips do require maintenance, though: This cheap playground flooring option must be raked regularly to level out thin spots. Adding a layer of wood chips when needed will help you to ensure that the mulch provides enough cushioning to meet fall surfacing guidelines.

Poured Playground Flooring

We also offer poured-in-place rubber surfacing, the ultimate choice when you want a durable, safe, and nearly maintenance-free playground surface. A seamless pour-in-place playground surface can last for years and put an end to the need for replacing mulch. It’s also available in a variety of colors, so you can install a neutral tone to match the natural environment or put in a surface that proudly displays your school colors or your favourite color scheme. This type of playground rubber paver flooring is one of the best surfaces for accessibility and is relatively easy to clean, which makes it quite popular.
