Safety surface and shockpads
Grassflex - Artificial grass safety surfacing
This
versatile and attractive surface provides an economic alternative to
conventional rubber tiles or wet pour. The soft and springy feel is
friendly and inviting and has proved to be of added play value in itself.
It comprises one or more layers of recycled impact absorbing polyethylene foam matting, covered by a sand filled artificial grass carpet.
The
matting is made of waste, polyethylene foam, which is chipped and heat
bonded (no adhesives) to form a durable, free draining and highly
effective impact absorbing material. The foam’s closed cell construction
utilises trapped cells of air to produce a springy, cushioned surface
which does not compress, even after prolonged use, and is virtually
unaffected by temperature.
The sand filled artificial grass surface is hard wearing, resistant to cutting and burning (classified as low radius of ignition according to BS 4790) non-slip and is both attractive and natural looking. Alternative colours and patterns are available if required. The flexible nature of the materials enables it to be installed to suit the natural contours of the surrounding areas.
The versatility of the system is ideal for the garden, whether for use with play equipment, or the grass laid only for constantly used areas with no need for the impact layer.
