Playground Surfaces
Groundwork and Leisure Services (GLS) are a nationwide, playground surfaces contractor. GLS install play surfaces in both new and existing playgrounds as well as a host of other locations such as schools, nurseries, hospitals and even prisons.
Playground safety is an important consideration for playground authorities, as it is essential that playgrounds are both fun and maintained to safe standards. Subsequently playground safety surfaces play a vital role in playground safety, preventing serious accidents by absorbing the energy of a childs fall.
Playground surfaces can be divided into two main categories fixed and loose fill:
- Fixed safety surfaces such as Notts Sport ChildsPlay, wet pour and BounceBark (bonded rubber mulch).
- Loose fill surfaces such as Cushionfall – play bark, play sand as well as non bonded rubber mulch.
Fixed play area surfaces tend to offer higher levels of resistance to vandalism and therfore reduce ongoing maintenance costs. However in most cases they are more expensive to install.
Experience and feedback from our clients have led GLS to regularly specify Notts Sport ChildsPlay systems due to their increased vandalism resistance over alternative playground surfaces. However GLS is privately owned and as such is independent of manufacturers. Therefore, we will always recommend the most suitable safety play surface for your play area, be it wet pour, Cushionfall - playbark, BounceBark (bonded rubber mulch) or indeed, Notts Sport ChildsPlay.
Take a look around our website site as we are confident that you will find all the information you need relating to playground safety surfaces.
