Why Schools, Parks & Nurseries Choose These Mats

• BS EN 1177 impact attenuation certified: Meets the UK and European safety standard for playground surfacing. Suitable for use under equipment with critical fall heights up to 1.0m when installed over established grass.
• Prevents turf death under equipment: Swing landing zones, slide exits and climbing frame bases take 80–120 child impacts per hour at peak use. The 23mm rubber grid distributes load across 1.5m² and shields grass crowns and root systems from direct strikes.
• Grass grows through naturally: 72% open-cell structure lets grass grow through the mat and reach mowing height within 14 days of installation. Surface stays green — no bare mud patches or puddles.
• Excellent drainage: Water passes through at 180mm per hour directly to the root zone — no surface pooling or waterlogging after heavy rain.
• Four-side interlocking: Male/female interlocking edges connect mats seamlessly to cover any sized fall zone — 3m x 3m swing zone = 6 mats; 1.5m x 3m slide exit = 3 mats.
• Non-slip all-weather surface: Slip-resistant textured finish provides safe traction in wet, frosty and muddy conditions — no coating, painting or winter treatment required.
• 100% recycled SBR rubber: Made from recycled rubber compound. Does not leach chemicals into soil. UV stable — no colour fade or cracking after 5+ years outdoor use. Service life typically exceeds 10 years.
• Easy installation — no groundwork: One adult can carry and position each mat (18kg). Lay directly onto existing grass. No specialist tools or contractors required. Mats ship flat-packed, ready to use on delivery.
• Low maintenance: Rotary mower blades pass over the mat surface without catching. Hose down quarterly to remove debris. Individual mats can be lifted for turf aeration or replaced without disturbing adjacent units.
