We are so passionate about encouraging our customers to use our Nike Grind range we offer it at a reduced rate as a little incentive to help make the more sustainable choice.

Kind to the planet

In every square meter installed, rubber equivalent to that of 28 worn out sports shoes is used and we think that is pretty cool!

Critical Fall Height Chart

Playtop install safety surfacing in excess of 140mm in thickness which exceeds that of any other surfacing company in Aotearoa. We absorb shock through the density and thickness of our product rather than "bounce" meaning very little movement and stress on binders to break down over time. When surfacing has become a significant component of a playground budget you need the peace of mind that your surfacing will comply to safety standard testing well after the warranty period has expired and our shock pad with minimal maintenance remains "as the day it was installed" thanks to research into rubber grade, rubber binder ration, install techniques and the "test of time" with Playtop having been around now for 40 years.

With safety being the core purpose of a safety surfacing investment, Playtop will see that your project can serve that core purpose for many many years to come.

Using our Critical Fall Height Chart and with information from your equipment supplier, you can see just how deep we will be installing your new surfacing.
