Play areas in parks, kindergarten and school playgrounds and other public and privately owned amenities are increasingly turning to wet-pour rubber crumb surfacing as a safe and environmentally-friendly ground coating for the areas around swings, slides and other play equipment.
Made from granulated used tyres, this product both finds a way to extend the useful life of a previously useless commodity and provides a low-maintenance yet highly effective surface that prevents injury from falls and grazing in playground landscaping.
In contrast with other playground surfaces such as sand and bark chippings, rubber crumb is clean, more hygienic, maintains an even thickness over the entire area and is better at absorbing impact.
As this industry has developed, so has the demand for more imaginative use of the product to design more creative and visually stimulating pay areas. Once only available in black, rubber crumb surfaces can now be produced in a variety of colours and these are used to mark out different zones either for safety or to create a more visually appealing recreational area.
To demarcate these zones, edging must first be installed to provide a clear border between the colours and surrounding areas of hard or soft landscaping such as paving, asphalt and grass. This edging also maintains the integrity of the surface’s border, preventing erosion due to heavy traffic.
Aluminium Landscape Edging
AluExcel is ideally suited to this task. Being lightweight and only requiring metal stakes to securely hold it in position, it is extremely fast to install. It combines a rigidity that ensures straight lines remain straight with a flexibility that allows curves to be created on-site without special tools. Tighter radii and more complex shapes can be created to order in our factory during the manufacturing process.
