The Playtop Standard

  • Playtop sets the standards - TUVVarious thicknesses of Playtop have been tested in accordance with European (EN) and US (ASTM) Standards and awarded Critical Fall Height ratings up to 3 metres - the maximum permitted fall height of modern play equipment.
  • The interlocking structure created by the large rubber granules of the base layer and the finer granules of the top layer - coupled with the adhesive power of special organic binders - gives Playtop immense strength and durability.
  • Playtop can therefore be installed directly on a crushed stone foundation without a separate asphalt or concrete substructure, giving significant costsavings.
  • Low first-cost, minimal maintenance and long life result in lower life-cycle cost.
  • Rapid drainage through the coarse base layer prevents dangerous freezing in winter.
  • Playtop offers outstanding resistance to abrasion, slipping, indentation and ignition.
