Playground Rubber Flooring - Playground Rubber Mats, Playground Mats
Playground flooring is available for larger scale, commercial playgrounds at schools, churches, and park playground areas. We also have rubber playground surfacing for homeowners and smaller daycare and preschool playgrounds as well as general outdoor play areas. Playground flooring is available in all types of rubber playground mat options including straight edge and interlocking tiles. Choose the right playground mat for your equipment height by matching our playground mat thickness to your fall height requirement.
Rubber Playground Mats are offered in a variety of natural and bright colors. You can mix and match rubber playground mats to meet your specific design criteria. Forest green, red, or terracotta are the most popular colors for playground mats. Greatmats sources rubber playground floors and mats from various locations around the country in order to match our customer needs and reduce shipping costs when possible. Playground rubber mats are a popular replacement to old wood chips and rubber mulch or rubber crumb materials as playground rubber mats will last for 20 years in most installations and are easy to keep clean and free of mold and debris. They are also more convenient than "pour-in-place" playground surfacing because it is far easier to replace a couple worn tiles than to fix worn areas of poured rubber flooring.
Most Installation of playground flooring is completed in commercial installations by professional landscape contractors. In residential applications, some home owners can install playground mats on their own. Greatmats provides installation instructions and phone assistance for all of our playground rubber mats and playground rubber flooring options. For commercial projects, we recommend a hard, flat surface such as compacted and leveled crushed stone as a base. Existing concrete or asphalt will work as well.
For rooftop installations of playground mats we have two options: Either interlocking mats or playground mats that can be connected together with a pin connecting system. Neither of these options require a full glue down installation method which is ideal when installing them atop roofing membranes. Homeowners and preschool or daycare locations will appreciate the ease of installation when using our Ergo Playground Flooring system. This product features a 20 inch fall height rating and is an excellent choice over any outdoor surface. It does not require any special surface preparation prior to installation. These playground mats will easily and simply interlock together with tab and loop connectors. Border edge strips are also available as needed.
Greatmats offers playground mats for indoor playground locations that feature a four-foot fall height rating and are made of EVA foam material as an easy-to-install interlocking foam mat. These indoor playground mats feature a durable tatami style surface texture that is comfortable for bare feet or socks. 3x3' "swing mats" are available for protecting the ground from getting dug up in play areas. Use these types of playground mats in places where your playground gets extra wear and tear such as slide landing zones and under swings.
Shipping of playground rubber mats are via freight delivery. Installation of our playground surface is recommended over flat level surfaces or over several inches of a crushed stone base using a urethane based rubber tile adhesive and is most often undertaken by professional landscape contractors, while foam mat installations for indoor playground floors can be accomplished by end users.
