Grass, bark, sand, rubber tiles, wetpour or interlocking mats – each surface has its own advantages and is best suited to different conditions. A well-chosen surface ensures greater safety, durability and comfort when using the playground.

Rubber tiles are one of the most popular choices for urban and residential areas. Their even surface makes them an excellent choice for areas used by pushchairs and children with reduced mobility. An additional advantage is their modular design — a damaged tile can be replaced without dismantling the entire surface, which significantly reduces maintenance costs. The tiles are available in a wide range of colours, allowing for interesting colour schemes tailored to the character of the location.

Sand, bark and gravel are natural loose materials that have proven their worth over many years, blending particularly well with wooden play equipment. They create a natural look and are easy to top up — material can be added locally where there are gaps, without the need to replace the entire surface. It is an economical and environmentally friendly solution that blends perfectly into the natural surroundings.

Wetpour is a poured surface and the ideal choice for developers who value both originality and functionality. Wetpour provides good shock absorption and is ideal for inclusive playgrounds, where accessibility for all children is a priority. It allows for the creation of unusual shapes, patterns and original colour schemes — it is durable and resistant to external factors.

Turf / natural ground is the most environmentally friendly of all options. The natural, inviting appearance of the grass ensures that the playground blends harmoniously into the surrounding greenery. A turf surface is particularly suitable for equipment with a low free-fall height, as well as in parks and gardens where preserving the natural character of the space is a priority.

Overgrowth mats are an innovative solution that combines the benefits of synthetic surfacing with a natural appearance. The mats stabilise the ground and effectively prevent mud from forming, even with heavy use. Once overgrown with grass, they take on a completely natural appearance whilst remaining resistant to heavy use — ideal for high-traffic areas.
