Scotgreens Safeplay Shockpad 

All our artificial grasses are manufactured from soft polyethylene fibres which make them ideal for creating a non-friction play surface for children. It is important to create a safe play surface for children of all ages, especially where play equipment is involved. Our artificial grass can be installed over the SAFEPLAY SHOCKPAD which absorbs impact, thus reducing the risk of injury if children fall from play equipment. A number of critical fall heights can be achieved with the installation of the recycled foam pad underneath artificial grass (usually sand-filled). The critical fall height required will vary depending on the nature of the installation. Younger children may not require as greater fall height as those who are playing on elevated play equipment. NOTE Shockpads do not guarantee that children won't be injured if they fall.

The foam pads are manufactured from scrap cross-linked polyethylene foam which would otherwise have been going to landfill. It is granulated and then fused together by heat in an oven process. The SAFEPLAY SHOCKPAD absorbs impact on compression and once pressure has been released they will recover to their original state. The pads are free draining, as is the turf, so the area will also dry out quickly following a downpour allowing children to enjoy the outdoors a lot more than they otherwise would.

The shock pads have been tested underneath a 24mm sand filled turf with testing carried out in accordance with EN 1177 : 2008 for Head Impact Criteria. The pads are available in two thicknesses and can be doubled up for increased protection if required. We recommend the SAFEPLAY SHOCKPADS to be installed with Urban Lawn or Finesse as these are both 24mm products, these turfs should be in-filled for this application. The shorter pile turfs also make it easier for children to move around on, especially children who use a wheelchair.
