playground surfacing Essex is an impact absorbing surface which helps to protect children from falls, bumps and scrapes. It is made up of a layer of rubber or synthetic grass on a layer of finer material, typically made from sand or wood chippings. The type of surfacing you choose depends on the size of your playground and the amount of traffic it will get, as some are more durable than others.

A popular surfacing choice is wet pour, this is a two tier EPDM surface that can be installed in different colours. Wetpour is a safe and secure surface that can be used all year round and is ideal for areas of high play equipment. Coloured graphic designs in Essex CO5 7 can also be applied to the wetpour surface to make it more interesting and educational for kids to play with. These designs can include alphabet and number games, hopscotch and traditional playground game styles.

Other surfacing options are recycled plastic mulch, bonded play bark or tarmac. These are more natural looking surfaces that can be laid on top of existing grass, but do not have the impact absorbing properties as wet pour does. They do however offer good drainage properties and are cost effective.

Poured rubber is another popular option. This is an interlocking surface that is seamless and has a durable finish. It is available in a variety of colours and has been tested to meet critical fall height requirements. It is easy to clean and requires little maintenance, a light power rinse or brushing is all that is needed.
