Ever Wondered What Constitutes a Place Surfacing? We’ll Show You

Kids could never have as many options for fun in the past as they have now. All sorts of mobile toys and equipment are within their reach. Kids’ playgrounds have been customized now, and amid obesity and other health concerns, the need for children to play outside has never been more critical.

Outside playground parks are now very comfortable. Foam padding for playground makes the rubber
surface even relaxing for kids. This surface is created in two layers to create a safe playground surface.

The bottom layer is a cushion layer and is made up of either foam material or buffings. The size and cut of the area are measured to choose the cushion material for the playground. The cushion is settled at specific depths for proper fall height protection.

When this layer is cured, the top layer is called “wear course”. This layer is made of synthetic rubber,
other than the foam padding for the playground. This material is thermoplastic vulcanized and offers
durability and superior color quality. Wear course is that layer of the playground that is visible to the
people.

This layer surface can be of different qualities. There are various aspects that determine the right one
for your job. It depends on the fall height requirement, color options, UV stability, and high or low traffic areas. If you have the right knowledge, you can determine the right type of rubber material for your project. It offers many benefits like durability, comfort, and it also protects children while they play. You can also use these layers for indoors and outdoors. The coolest thing about this surface is that you can create designs with it as well.
