Loosefill Loosefill safer surfacing has excellent impact absorbing properties and combines well with many units to give a warm, natural appearance. The capital cost of loosefill surfacing is far less than Wet Pour and tiles, however maintenance costs (i.e. raking and top-ups) should be taken into account. To meet the requirements of BS EN 1176 and BS EN 1177, all Playdale loosefill surfaces should be maintained to the correct depth as specified. The use of raised loosefill areas will aid drainage. Cushionfall This is an environmentally friendly surface, produced from recycled timber products. The shredded timber gives excellent impact absorbing properties and is provided in a variety of colours. Playgrade Bark This high quality graded pine bark gives an attractive surface, which is well suited to most locations and for use with the majority of equipment. Sand In some situations playgrade sand is an effective loosefill surface. It is also a play medium in its own right. Gravel Gravel can also provide an attractive and safe loosefill surface option. All Playdale loosefill impact absorbing surfaces have been independently tested to guarantee full compliance with BS EN 1177 and BS 7188. Test certificates are supplied for all loosefill surfaces.
