Rubber Chipping Benefits

Shock-Absorbing Safety

Tested to meet safety standards for impact-absorbing surfacing. Helps reduce the risk of injury from falls—ideal for climbing frames, swings, and slide zones.

All-Weather Performance

Unlike wood bark, rubber doesn’t absorb water or break down over time. It drains quickly, stays dry on top, and resists compaction.

Low Maintenance

No raking, topping up, or worry about weeds. Just lay it, and you're good to go!

Eco-Friendly

Made from 100% recycled tyres, diverting waste from landfills and giving it a fun, safe second life.

Fade-Resistant Colour

Specially coated to maintain its vibrant colour through sun, rain, and snow.

Clean & Hygienic

Non-toxic, won’t splinter, and doesn’t harbour mould or pests—perfect for children's play areas.
