In today’s society, children are constantly being labeled with various terms. They may have Asperger’s syndrome if they’re too shy, sensory issues if they’re too touchy, or ADD if they’re too jumpy. However, even well adjusted children with no labels are often clumsy and uncoordinated and can easily trip. Playgrounds, while built for children to play in, also pose numerous obstacles that children can easily fall over. Rubber curbs and rubber bond can help prevent some of these scrapes and bruises.
Rubber curbs are used to cordon off areas of the playground, especially when rubber mulch chips are used for the flooring. As opposed to wooden or plastic curbs, the rubber variety is flexible, and bends under pressure. The rubber curbs are pliable, and bend, helping children regain their balance after losing their footing. Playsafer rubber curbs come in a variety of colors, adding a pop of cheer, and coordinating with the rest of the playground equipment.
Rubber bond is a form of playground flooring that is extremely popular due to its many qualities. It is made by spreading a layer of rubber chips which is then covered by a layer of rubber combined with a high quality polyurethane bond. The result is a smooth, clean floor that has the safety features of rubber mulch chips. Aside for the aesthetic appeal, rubber bond is a flat, smooth floor that leaves virtually no room for tripping by clumsy children. It allows children to run free, secure in the knowledge of sure footing.
Rubber bond also provides the perfect surface for activities such as biking, roller blading, jump rope, etc. With rubber bond, children can take playing to a new level with the perfect surface for any activity.
