Playground Surfacing

New installation of safety mattingAll-Safe Guardian Turftile safety surfacing system is based around a 100% natural rubber product that will remain soft and durable over many years. There will be some small change in the appearance of our playground rubber mat due to ageing and wear and tear, however this will be minimal and should not affect the performance of this product.

Recommended Maintenance for All Safe's Playground Surfacing Mat

The All Safe Guardian playground rubber surfacing mat achieves a critical fall height of 0.8m - concrete and the full Turftile system up to 2.8 m. To maintain optimum performance of your playground rubber safety mat, we recommend the following procedure.

  1. Remove any obstacles, rubbish or stones from the safety surfacing. Daily if possible.
  2. Joins- Check monthly, all seams are secure and perimeter pins are in place. (Fasteners and adhesives available from All-Safe.)
  3. Grass establishment in mats: This is an effective part of the All-Safe playground rubber safety mat system: Ensure that grass is kept well watered in summer months to maintain healthy turf with soft soil under-base.
  4. Fertilising Lawn. For initial establishment the addition of Nitrophoska Blue Extra 3kg per 100m2 area will help. For yearly program, general lawn fertiliser in spring and early autumn at 3kg per 100m2 area. This should be well watered in. (Fertiliser available from All-Safe.)
  5. Mower set at a minimum height of 75mm. This acts as a cleaning procedure for safety surfacing with the vacuum action of a rotary mower. Your requirements for mowing will be approximately 6 to 8 times per year depending on your area, (we use a special slow type of slow growing grass seed).
  6. Relaying Mats: If soil contamination of mats occurs due to surface soil being spread on top or a drainage problem causing subsidence, the playground rubber mat can be lifted, cleaned and relaid over an approved underlay. (Contact All-Safe for procedures and materials.)
