Children’s playground floor, where children spend time having fun, should be a floor covering where children can play safely and minimize the risk of falling or injury. For this reason, a soft, shock- absorbing, non-slip, durable, hygienic and aesthetic coating should be preferred for the playground floor system. Only in this way can children have a safe and enjoyable play experience.
Flooring products, which are preferred in playgrounds where children have fun for hours, are important in terms of ensuring the safety of children. For this reason, shock absorbing coating products should generally be preferred for the playground flooring process.
What are Children’s Playground Flooring Systems?
It is important that the materials preferred in playground flooring works are light, elastic and non- slip. At the same time, it is important that the playground floors have shock absorbing properties against the risk of children falling. The floor covering products that should be preferred for children’s playground floors should not prevent children’s mobility and should ensure their safety.
EPDM Granular Flooring
EPDM rubber granules is a coating material that can be produced in different hardnesses according to needs. Softer and shock absorbing EPDM rubber should be used for playgrounds. EPDM granular flooring systems, also called tartan flooring, can be applied in alternative thicknesses such as 8, 13 or 15 millimeters. It is one of the coating systems with high color and ultraviolet resistance. Produced from a mixture of EPDM rubber granules and one-component polyurethane-based POLIN PU RUB-X BINDER 1004 G-LV binder, this flooring system is preferred not only in playgrounds, but also in walking or running tracks.
EPDM granule flooring systems are extremely durable products due to their high-water permeability. In addition, EPDM granules help prevent injuries by reducing the surface to a low level due to its high shock absorbency. EPDM rubber floor systems are an ideal coating product for children’s playground floors due to its non-slip surface. While applying EPDM rubber material, different designs can be created by using different color pigments. In this way, an aesthetic and eye-pleasing children’s playground is created. These coatings, which are produced from rubber materials and colored, can be cleaned in a practical way. Due to its hygienic and durable structure, it can be used in a healthy way for many years.
Rubber flooring is environmentally friendly as it is recyclable. In addition, due to the natural flexibility of rubber, these coatings show high resistance to conditions such as temperature changes.
Optionally, POLIN PU RUB-X BINDER 1000 aliphatic binder can be used, which has high UV resistance and helps the epdm floor covering to preserve its original color for a long time without being affected by weather conditions and sunlight.
These coatings, which are produced from rubber materials and colored, can be cleaned practically. Due to its hygienic and durable structure, it can be used in a healthy way for many years.
