Spotlight on Playsmart’s EcoSmart Development

As carbon neutrality and a greener future is on the horizon, Playsmart is effectively contributing to this change of direction with our EcoSmart best surface for children play area products.

But first, what is EcoSmart?

EcoSmart is a high-quality rubber grass mat for playgrounds and recreational areas from PlaySmart, the market leader in safety surfacing.

Made from recycled rubber, our mats provide a softer landing than safety tiles with a harsh plastic finish. EcoSmart is available with a 10-year product and a 5-year installation guarantee, as well as trademarked installation specification.

By choosing EcoSmart, you’ll be choosing an environmentally friendly surfacing solution that is safe, durable and cost-effective.

Now let’s dive in and discover the actual environment friendly products.

SmartPlay- Under Surface Safety Impact Pads

Made from a blend of recycled, reclaimed and natural rubber, Smartplay surfaces are eco-friendly and remove the need for padding or metal fibres in the mat. SmartPlay can be coupled with either fireproof mats or EcoSmart to create the ultimate full coverage safety surfaces.

SmartPlay flooring was primarily created to improve safety when using rubber grass mats for fall height protection. With a built in shock pad, it offers an enhanced safety surfacing system for natural play environments.

EcoSmart Grass Matting is at the forefront of our product range of Playground Safety Surfaces, the highest standards of quality and meeting the needs of our customers throughout the globe.

Our EcoSmart Grass mats are a more durable, better quality and heavier mat, compared to most generic grass matting on the market today. It is the environmentally friendly choice for grass mats. It’s recycled, long lasting and allows the grass to grow through for natural play.

Grass matting is a great versatile solution, it can be installed over an existing grass base without the need for digging out the current surface. When choosing this method, the current grass can grow through the matting to still have a natural looking surface for your playground, but adding the most important safety element, to factor in the Critical Fall Height from set pieces of equipment.

EcoSmart grass mats create a completely natural play area. Due to the honeycomb structure of our grass matting, 10 – 60 days after installation, the grass will have grown back through the mat. This will create a play area that looks completely natural, as though there isn’t any safety surfacing underneath even though there is, and the safety of the users is considered all year round.

If you’ve got Critical Fall Height concerns, EcoSmart grass mats are an ideal choice. They are certified for fall heights up to 2.25m, however when installed alongside our shock pad underlay in our SmartPlay System, the Fall Height coverage is increased to 3m on a good grass base. It is possible to install shock pad directly on top of existing ground.

With Playsmart providing a longer life span for playgrounds and a surface that is bound to last, it’s a no brainer that you have SmartPlay installed alongside EcoSmart. If SmartPlay flooring was ever damaged or needed to be changed, consequently it is very easy to quickly replace. Making the playground an enabling environment for buggies and wheelchair uses, this safety surface most importantly adheres to British Standards BS EN 1177 ensuring the highest level of safety for children.

  • Parks and recreation grounds
  • Areas with equipment
