FireSmart
Fire Retardant Grass Mat
FireSmart safety surfacing is the original and the best fire retardant grass mat in the UK.
Superior fire retardant grass mat, FireSmart has become the industry standard for fire retardant surfacing and has established PlaySmart as the market leader in grass matting. Made from rubber, our mats provide a softer landing than safety tiles with a harsh plastic finish. With our trademarked installation specification, 10-year product and 5-year installation guarantees, by specifying FireSmart, you’ll be choosing an environmentally friendly surfacing solution that is safe, durable and cost-effective.
Applications
Our rubber grass mats can be installed in a wide range of play areas, parks and public spaces and are even suitable for mounds and embankments.
Many customers are still using our high-quality rubber grass matting solution years after install – they are ideal for areas prone to vandalism and particularly popular with fashionable timber play equipment.

Safety
FireSmart is slip and fall resistant to the British Standard. Our unique installation practice trained in-house ensures a safe, neat install every time. FireSmart achieved a 3m Critical Fall Height (CFH) when installed on a good grass base in independent field tests. It’s important to realise that performance may be affected by weather and soil or turf condition – for this reason, PlaySmart have led the way in recommending that the SmartPlay system is used above 2m CFH or in poor ground conditions. Flammability performance is accredited to British Standards (self-extinguishing within 60 seconds of ignition). Take a look at our SmartPlay Q&A for more information!
