School Playground Flooring

Schools are increasingly showing an interest in artificial grass products due to better safety and superior aesthetics. Recent technological advances in the Astroturf industry now provide schools with options beyond tarmac, chippings or rubber outdoor flooring. Playgrounds can now utilise artificial turf for meeting critical fall height standards without the worry of cuts and grazes that were typical with traditional synthetic products.

Specialists for Synthetic Playgrounds

As Good As Grass have performed countless installations of school playground flooring over the last few years. If your concern is cost, quality, safety, maintenance, drainage or even sanitation, we have all the expertise to hand. Many schools have already benefited from superior playground flooring with artificial grass; view our gallery pages for some examples. When purchasing safety surfaces, your school may be eligible for a government subsidy; contact your local education authority or call us for more information. We want every child in the UK to enjoy a safe play ground.

A school playground with climbing frames or similar activities is not the only environment which can benefit from synthetic outdoor flooring. Playing fields, tennis courts and school gardens can enjoy evergreen artificial grass as a maintenance free solution that looks perfect all year round. Further advantages in sport include permanent line markings and improved impact absorption for athletes; visit our sports grass pages for more information.
