Summertime is the perfect time to play outside and soak up some sunlight, and what screams ‘fun’, is also cooling off. If you’re looking for a colourful, vibrant and, most importantly, safe aquatic play area, have a look at Playtop Aquatic. From splash pads, around swimming pools all the way to water playgrounds – PlaytopAquatic is a must to consider.
What is Playtop Aquatic?
Playtop Aquatic is designed to be an aesthetic and resilient porous rubber that is also eco-friendly. It provides highly slip-resistant flooring suited for damp and wet applications. It can be used on pool surrounds, community parks, hotels, water playgrounds, swimming enclosures, recreation areas, or any other space that needs to be used for water-based activities.
Endless Design Possibilities
One of Playtop Aquatic’s most distinctive features is its wide range of colour and design options. There is no limit to the artistic possibilities of the surface other than your imagination. Whether you like vibrant and bright or muted and organic, Playtop Aquatic offers a variety of combinations to create a splash pad that is tailored to the look and feel of your vision. Not only that, themed and patterned surfaces can be incorporated into the flooring itself, transforming the surface into an integral part of the play experience.
Create a Themed Splash Pad
Perhaps a blue ocean-themed splash pad with waves and sandy beaches, or maybe a green jungle with leaves and animal tracks? The Playtop Aquatic concept allows you to create that and more, thanks to the possibility to customise colours and blends. With our bespoke installations, you could create a truly distinctive and creative splash pad. You could be truly creative with your community’s space, bringing joy to anyone using it.
Safety First
Playtop Aquatic prioritises safety above all and is installed in situ. This means the material is laid as a liquid and forms a seamless, crumb-free surface by curing to one single sheet. Having one complete structure minimises any tripping risks whilst ensuring the product remains safe for all those who use it. Being laid in situ means the surface can be laid closely around existing structures or shapes, with no gaps or openings where water might seep in and damage the structure. This reduces the risk of flooding and ensures safety. In addition to safety, the surface installation minimises any potential damage and increases the shelf-life of the surface. The surrounding material from Playtop would be far superior to more traditional settings such as poured concrete and natural stone, which can all suffer from cracks and splits through time.
Slip-Resistant Surface
Playtop Aquatic is great for water play areas because it provides good slip resistance, preventing kids from slipping and falling. In terms of safety, parents and guardians can rest easy when leaving children alone to play, as the surface’s waterlogging enhances slip resistance.
Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable
By selecting Playtop Aquatic, you’re making an environmentally friendly choice because it is made of high-quality recycled rubber. This saves the environment from waste production and contributes to a sustainable economy through re-use and keeping tonnes of rubber from reaching landfills. Not only that, but its long-lasting shape ensures fewer replacements and, hence, an environmentally friendly effect in the long run.
Durability and Low Maintenance
Playtop Aquatic is made for constant immersion in water. It is resistant to fresh, sea and chlorinated pool water and cannot be damaged by water. As a result, it is impossible for mould or mildew to grow underwater, making Playtop Aquatic a worth investment.
Cost-Effective Solution
While Playtop Aquatic’s installation cost could be higher than some other traditional materials, once it is installed, it is more cost-effective than most for the following reasons:
- Fewer repairs and replacements are needed, so less money has been spent on maintenance over the whole life of substrates.
- It is much easier to clean and would take less time to do it, therefore it would save money.
Easy Installation
A key benefit of Playtop Aquatic is that it’s very easy to install—it requires hardly any excavation and can be laid on grass, concrete, and other surfaces. This makes it ideal for areas where there is little or no space for excavation, perhaps due to the existence of tree roots or other structural problems.
Fun in the Sun
Adults and children can enjoy outdoor play areas this summer, whether at a lakeside community park, a vacation resort, or just in your backyard. Playtop Aquatic surfacing’s bright colours and cushioned area provide an inviting and fun surface for everyone to splash and play on. It also creates a safe outlet for young children and gets design points for colourful accents in your area.
