When laid to a depth of 50mm your child is protected for a fall of up to 1.1 metres. We recommend laying 100mm around the play equipment, as the rubber can get displaced. To work out exactly how much you need please see our online area calculator. This will provide you with the amount you require to the exact kilo. You are also more than welcome to call or email us with dimensions and requirements and our friendly staff will be able to tell you the quantity you need.

All our chippings are low maintenance products. An occasional rake over the area to ensure it looks tidy, and that the chips are uniformly spread. You can remove leaves and other debris using a hand blower. Annual replenishment isn’t needed as our chippings will not decompose or blow away.

We make our chippings by recycling tyres; including car, lorry and truck tyres. Using our rubber chippings helps reduce tyre incineration, as we recycle 100% of the tyre – we even have uses for the fibre. Our playground rubber is 99.9% wire free and completely safe.

Rubber will last at least 10 years. Colour will last around 2 years before any fading occurs. Most people will find it lasts a lot longer than this. Fading can occur due to chemical reactions from weed killers, pressure washing, extreme weather and persistent rain. We, therefore, cannot guarantee a length of time the colour will stay vibrant.

No, our colour coating does not wash off and, unlike wood bark materials, will not stain clothing.

Some of the key benefits of using rubber include:

• Excellent safety certification for domestic and school play
• Retains warmth and dries quickly
• Weed suppressant
• Frost resistant
• Does not rot or decompose
• Does not blow away
• Inert and non-toxic
• Requires no annual topping up
• Requires minimal maintenance
• Keeps colour for many years
• Can be easily hosed and brushed to remove dirt

Rubber safety surfacing absorbs the shock of a fall better than most materials on the market today. Our rubber chippings have been independently tested to meet BS EN 1177 standards. Our rubber chippings laid to a depth of 50mm have a critical fall height of 1.1m and if laid to a depth of 100mm, has a critical fall height of 2.7m.
