When it comes to designing a safe, durable, and vibrant outdoor play area for children, rubber chippings are an increasingly popular choice. If you're weighing up the pros and cons of different playground surfacing materials, here's why rubber chippings for playgrounds are a superior alternative to traditional wooden mulch.
1. Superior Safety for Active Play
Safety is the number one priority in any children’s play area. Rubber chippings offer excellent shock absorption, significantly reducing the risk of injury from falls. This makes them especially suitable for playgrounds with high-impact equipment such as climbing frames and slides.
2. Colourful and Visually Appealing
Evolve Rubber Chippings are available in a wide range of vibrant, long-lasting colours. Unlike dull and natural wood chips, these colourful rubber playground chippings can transform any play area into a bright, engaging, and stimulating space that children will love.
3. Cleaner, Drier Playground Surface
Thanks to their non-absorbent nature, rubber chippings drain quickly after rainfall, keeping the surface cleaner and drier throughout the year. That means fewer muddy puddles and more opportunities for uninterrupted play—even after wet weather.
4. Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting
Unlike wood mulch, which decomposes, compacts, and requires regular top-ups, rubber chippings retain their shape, colour, and performance for years. This makes them a hassle-free, low-maintenance surfacing solution for busy parents, schools, and childcare providers.
5. Cost-Effective Over Time
Although the initial cost of rubber chippings for playgrounds may be higher than wood chips, they are a one-time investment. With no need for regular replacement or upkeep, they offer long-term savings and excellent value for money.
6. An Eco-Friendly Playground Choice
Evolve Rubber Chippings are made from 100% recycled rubber, sourced from end-of-life vehicle tyres. By choosing our eco-friendly rubber chippings, you're not only creating a safer play space but also contributing to a more sustainable environment.
