New Product Set to Make Surfacing Safer
One of the top playground manufacturers in the UK has just
announced the launch of a new product to complement their existing
range of safer surfacing.
RSS Playmakers has offered Grassmatt cellular rubber safer
surfacing systems to their customers since 1999, but is this month
launching the next generation in this innovative surface –
Grassmatt FR. The new product will keep the popular aesthetic
appeal of the original Grassmatt but with the added safety feature
of a comprehensive fire retardant compound being added.
Grassmatt FR has been independently tested by ‘The Play
Inspection Company’ to assess Critical Fall Height and
flammability in accordance with recommendations from the API, and
is great news for the industry as a whole, as Peter Bullock,
Managing Director of RSS Playmakers, explained: “Our
Grassmatt surface has always been hugely popular as it perfectly
combines the safety of rubber surfacing, with the natural appeal of
grass. It’s easy to install and maintain, as well as being
extremely cost effective, and is an ideal ‘green’
solution in environmentally sensitive sites.”
“Grassmatt FR is the next generation in safer surfacing
though, and brings with it all of the benefits of the original
Grassmatt, but takes into account legitimate concerns about
potential arson and vandalism. The fire retardant compound should
provide our customers with the added assurance that the product is
perfect for their playgrounds, and we have already taken a number
of calls from people interested in finding out more.”
