Rubber play Surfacing

Rubber Play Surfacing

Rubber Play Surfacing provides a safe, durable and attractive foundation for playgrounds, schools, parks and recreational spaces. Designed to minimise the risk of injury from falls while creating an accessible and visually appealing play environment, rubber surfacing remains one of the most popular choices for modern outdoor play areas.

Playquip offers a range of rubber surfacing solutions to suit different budgets, aesthetics and performance requirements. Whether you require a seamless colourful finish, a natural-looking surface or a bespoke themed design, our surfacing systems can be tailored to meet the needs of your project.

All rubber surfacing options are designed to provide excellent impact absorption and can be installed to achieve the required Critical Fall Height (CFH) for the associated play equipment, helping to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards.
