Rubber Grass Protection Mats

Rubber Grass Protection Mats

For Turf Protection

Rubber grass protection mats are highly shock and noise absorbant. They provide a brilliant solution to protecting the ground surface and promoting healthy grass plant growth, Rubber Grass is perfect for use in pathways, as over time, frequent foot fall can kill the grass as well as displacing the soil.

The unique design of Rubber Grass enables the soil beneath to get all of the sunlight and water it needs to grow thick, healthy grass. The carefully designed holes in Rubber Grass encourage grass to grow through them. This means that after a few months of growth, the grass could hide the appearance of the mats completely.

Common Areas of Use as Grass Protection Mats

• Pathways and walkways
• Area entrances
• Slopes and hills
• Areas prone to water retention
• Private turfed areas
• Commercial properties
• Equestrian venues

As Rubber Safety Mats

Rubber Grass is a rubber safety mat manufactured from recycled rubber which aids in creating soft and safe ground to increase protection from injury. The mats are mainly used on grass, however they can be used in many other environments that require shock absorbance, anti-slip surfaces, or protection for the floor underneath.

Rubber Grass’ softness does not fluctuate in a huge range of weather conditions. When it comes to safety surfacing, rubber is the right choice and boasts many benefits over alternative options such as PVC, which hardens in cold conditions and offers little protection against slips, cuts, and grazes.

Common Areas of Use as Rubber Safety Mats

• Children’s play areas and playgrounds
• To surround multi-functional play frames
• Under swings
• High slip hazard areas, e.g. areas prone to water & ice
• Areas containing gravel
• Fitness and fun trails
• Pathways and gate entrances

Critical Fall Height up to 1.75 m

Impact absorbing surfaces with a Critical Fall Height (CFI) value which is greater than or equal to the free fall height of the equipment should be used whenever the free fall height is greater than 600 mm. Rubber grass mats have been tested according to the method outlined in the BS EN 1177:2017. The rubber grass mats achieved a Critical Fall Height of 1.75 m when laid over established grass.

Critical Fall Height is affected by underlying conditions. To ensure that the CFI is sufficient, in situ tests should be undertaken.

Installation Instructions for Rubber Grass Mats

For further ground stabilisation and reinforcement, we recommend laying Rubber Grass protection mats on a ground reinforcement mesh.

Rubber Grass safety mats can be pegged to the ground using plastic pegs or metal pins and connected to adjacent mats using cable ties. We recommend 12 pegs and ties per mat.
