Children always have and always will fall over in and fall off playground equipment regardless of how safe and secure the equipment is. 

We at Safe & Sound Playgrounds feel that one of our most important and responsible roles is to make sure all falls are cushioned thus reducing the severtiy of any injuries. Every surface we sell – both natural and synthetic – adheres to BS EN 1177, the British/European Standard governing the safety requirements and test methods for impact absorbing playground surfacing.

Safe & Sound produce a range of Surfacing options -

Wetpour is durable, slip-resistant and porous. A continually laid surface consisting of rubber crumb bonded together with a polyurethane resin, supported by a complete five-year guarantee.

Grass mats are made from recycled rubber and are laid over an existing grass surface. The mats are 1.5m x 1m and are non-stick which allows the grass underneath the mats to grow through. The grass can then be mowed as normal, giving the playground a natural look and feel.

Rubber tiles are 1m x 1m tiles made from recycled rubber and have very similar properties to Wetpour. Supplied in varying colours they are glued together and come complete with a five-year guarantee.

Cushionfall is an environmentally-friendly natural tree bark that has been specially treated and graded for use in children’s play areas. Soft yet durable, it is pram and wheelchair friendly with excellent impact absorbing properties.

Synthetic Grass is a next-generation artificial grass requiring no maintenance, no mowing and no feeding or watering. It has a special fibre-fill construction for added bounce and comfort and it retains its safety properties in all weather conditions.
