CREATING SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE OUTDOOR SPACES WITH PLAY MATTA™
04 May 2023
Playgrounds are more than just a place for kids to play, they're a vital part of communities, offering opportunities for children to learn, socialise, and explore. But creating playgrounds that are safe, sustainable and durable can be a challenge. That's where Play Matta™ comes in!
One of the most significant advantages of Play Matta™ is its sustainability credentials. The recycled tiles are made from up to 95 percent recycled materials, including old road cones and deflated pool toys. Not only are the tiles made from recycled materials - the underlying shock pad system is made from a combination of recycled rubber and XPE foam. This shock-absorbing layer provides certified fall height compliance, minimising the risk of injury from falls and impacts. By turning end of life products into a hard-wearing safety surface, Play Matta™ not only provides a long-lasting and durable product, but it also helps to minimise its impact on the environment. 
Safety is always a top priority when it comes to outdoor play areas, especially in high-impact areas like slides and climbing frames. Play Matta™ is designed to reduce the risk of injuries to children with its shock-absorbing properties, slip resistance and fire-retardant qualities. With up to 4.5 metres of impact protection, Play Matta™ meets safety standards certified to AS/NZS, BS EN and IPEMA, as well as ASTM, ADA and UFAS accessibility standards. Play Matta™ products are tested and certified at the time of manufacture in accordance with ISO 9001, ensuring factory fall height compliance at the time of installation. 
But safety isn't the only concern. Durability is also essential for playground surfaces that see heavy foot traffic and extreme weather conditions. Play Matta™ has been installed all over Australia for more than 15 years and comes with an industry-leading six-year full warranty. That's a testament to the product's longevity and quality, as well as its ability to withstand heavy foot traffic and Australia’s unique weather conditions.
When it comes to creating sustainable outdoor spaces, Play Matta™ is the way to go. By using recycled materials, providing a long-lasting and durable product and minimising environmental impact, Play Matta™ is an ideal option for any outdoor play or fitness area. And with its safety and fire-retardant qualities, it provides peace of mind for parents, caregivers and playground operators.
