The Importance of a Safe Outdoor Play Environment
Here at Playsmart, our clients rely on the quality and safety of our play surfacing. We understand the primary importance of keeping a child safe whilst enjoying the experience of an outdoor play environment.
Playground safety surfaces are essential to help reduce injuries in children’s play areas. With children having frequent, low-risk trips and tumbles, it is important to make sure playgrounds have the best flooring to ensure user safety. It is most important to prevent head injuries from falls. Therefore, we equip all of our playground safety surfaces to deal with shock attenuation.
Safety Surfacing for Outdoor Play
Experts will always design children’s play area floors around the playground and its equipment. Factoring in the fall height and impact, they choose the best, safest flooring. Installers fill the surface to its depth-level to meet the demands of the play equipment. This means that its surface being thick or soft enough to reduce the impact of a child’s fall. As well as this, slips and trips on the playground floor need to be considered. Playsmart designs its floors to have slip-resistant quality, which is especially helpful for outdoor play in the rainy UK.
When choosing and fitting playground flooring, it is important to observe:
- What ages is the playground designed for?
- Could the surface material become a choking hazard?
- Will the surfacing need to match a playground or design?
- How many resources do you have for the maintenance of the flooring?
- What is your budget for the project (during and aftercare
