Who said play surfaces should be bland and dull? Gone are the days of boring surfacing, we encourage you to embrace bright and vibrant recreational spaces. We believe it should look how it feels, full of energy and colour. Let’s talk about your creative possibilities with Playtop’s Sport Surfacing and its other benefits.
The Evolution of Play Surfacing
Traditionally, concrete or just monochrome-toned floors have been the standard for play surfacing, especially in sports and recreational areas. While these surfaces are known for their durability and low cost, they lack safety, aesthetics, and comfort. We are entering the new era of play surfacing, offering many options that cater to both safety and visual appeal.
Colourful and Creative Possibilities with Playtop Sports Surfacing
A significant advantage of Playtop Sports Surfacing is the vibrant colour options and the ability to create customised blends. With an impressive palette of 32 standard colours, this surfacing opens up a world of creative possibilities. This flexibility allows for the design of spaces that are not only functional but also visually stimulating and engaging.
- Customisation
The option to customise blends takes this creativity to another level. It means that each play or sports area can have its unique character and flair. For schools, this could mean incorporating school colours into playgrounds or sports fields. In public parks, it can be about creating a theme or blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. - Colour-Coding
Beyond aesthetics, the colour variety of Playtop Sports Surfacing also serves a practical purpose. Different colours can designate specific areas of a play or sports ground, aiding navigation and usage. For example, different sports zones can be colour-coded, or particular activities can be highlighted with specific hues. - Positive Stimulation
The impact of colour in play areas extends further than just visual appeal. Research suggests that bright and varied colours can stimulate children’s minds, making playtime both fun and beneficial for cognitive development.
