Playground Surfacing
Selecting the ideal playground surfacing is key for a safe play area. Opting for shock-absorbing solutions is crucial to protect children from accidents and severe injuries. Prioritize sustainable options to contribute to environmental protection, ensuring a safer future for both kids and the planet. Make informed choices for a secure and eco-friendly play space that promotes both child safety and environmental well-being.
Choosing the right surface
Corkeen by Amorim
Corkeen Play is a retained fall protection system for playgrounds made from cork. It has two cork layers, a flexible base layer, and a firm top layer. This means that the coating will maintain its characteristics even after years of use, protecting against falls.
​
Cork is a completely natural material without toxins, microplastics or endocrine disruptors, unlike materials made of plastics or oil. Compared with rubber, cork is also a very light material, which means that Corkeen Play can be applied to surfaces where weight is an important factor.
​
Other advantages of cork are that it smells less than rubber-based surfaces and the surface does not get as warm as rubber systems, even on hot days. Corkeen Play is also highly porous, allowing water to drain quickly.
