CHILDREN PLAYGROUND FLOORING
Children’s playground flooring is specially designed to create a safe, soft, and impact-absorbing surface where kids can play freely and confidently.It helps prevent injuries caused by slips, falls, and rough play while providing a comfortable and hygienic environment. Available in foam, rubber, EPDM, and artificial grass options, playground flooring ensures both safety and fun with colorful and child-friendly designs.This flooring is durable, weather-resistant, and easy to maintain, making it ideal for schools, nurseries, parks, and home play areas.
Playgrounds and outdoor play equipment offer kids fresh air, friends, fun, and exercise. But it’s important to make sure that faulty equipment, improper surfaces, and unsafe behavior don’t ruin the fun. Each year, more than 200,000 kids are treated in hospital ERs for playground-related injuries. Many of these accidents can be prevented with careful supervision.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber flooring is highly durable, colorful, and UV-resistant—perfect for creative outdoor designs.

Choosing the Best Surfacing for Your Playground
When choosing a surface for your playground it’s important to research the options and speak with experts. Your playground has unique needs and requirements, and a playground surfacing expert can help you determine which surfacing type meets the specific needs of your site and playground visitors.
Whether choosing a playground surface for your school, community park or early childhood playground, the right surfacing depends on several variables: initial purchasing cost, installation cost, ongoing maintenance cost, long-term durability, visual appearance, degree of safety and degree of ADA compliance.
Importance of Playground Surfacing
Playground surfacing is a key factor to playground safety – according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), falls to the playground surface account for nearly 70 percent of all injuries. Installing playgrounds over dirt, grass, concrete or pavers with no safety surfacing are no longer safe options and can indeed be life-threatening. To minimize risk and improve playground safety, playground flooring must be soft enough and thick enough to lessen the impact of a child’s fall.
Along with increased safety, certain playground surfaces also improve accessibility for playground visitors with mobility challenges. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which governs public playgrounds, requires that ground cover materials must accommodate all people, including physically challenged people who have mobility and footing issues such as people on crutches or in wheelchairs.
