Safety Mattas

Interlocking safety surface for playgrounds

‘This unique system not only provides an excellent safe surface in and around children's playgrounds, but in addition, has been designed to promote maximum grass growth in areas of high pedestrian traffic such as under and around play equipment, through gateways and on pathways.

Safety Mattas offers a safe, non-slip surface and has its own 'built-in' drainage system. This, together with the impact absorbent understructure, provides the ultimate safe surfacing for children's play areas where grass reinforcement is required’
