Descrption:
Synthetic turf is tested to be a safe and durable playground surface at critical platform heights.
Synthetic turf playground systems are installed over a durable rubber pad. The turf pad increases the shock-absorbing and impact attenuating properties.
* Synthetic turf is a safe, resilient, all-weather playing surface.
* Synthetic turf is more sanitary than sand, pea gravel, or wood chips.
* Controlled and maintained G-max score protects against impact injuries.
* ADA accessible.
* Low maintenance care.
* Reduced maintenance costs. No raking, repositioning, or bare ground.
* Green or colored turf available.
* No watering, mowing, or fertilizing.
Artificial playground turf can be an excellent, low maintenance alternative to PIP rubber, rubber tiles or wood chip filler. Playground turf from Grounds For Play offers a much more dependable solution.
Playground Turf
A typical playground synthetic turf will consist of a rubber pad with a thick layer nylon or polyethylene grass. The turf can be installed directly onto a hard surface like concrete or asphalt, or 4" of compacted aggregate (road bed). The layer of compacted aggregate should be at least 4 inches thick in order to properly cushion any falls. The thickness of the under turf padding will vary as to the type of substrate material (concrete or aggregate) and the critical fall height that is required.
Playground grass turf has many advantages over other playground surfacing materials. Because it looks and feels like real grass, it is more friendly and looks better than other, less natural alternatives. Artificial turf has proven durable in countless applications, and Grounds For Play turf comes with an eight year limited warranty. It also requires much less annual maintenance than conventional loose playground covering, and can cost less than unitary rubber surfacing.
It is important to differentiate between playground turf and other types of artificial turf. Regular artificial turf does not provide enough cushioning to protect children from falls. Also, it has been known to cause nasty slide burns. Our playground artificial turf has been designed to meet safety standards for impact resistance. Make sure the correct turf has been chosen for your child’s playground. |
