Playground Protective Surfacing Guide Specification

Genan granules – or GENAN SAFE rubber pellets – are used for playground base layers to ensure a safe environment for active and adventurous children. Children playing will inevitably fall and get hurt sometimes. With shock-absorbing rubber surfacing, playgrounds are softer, and children will injure themselves much less than on playgrounds with more traditional surfaces.

Compared to sand, gravel or wooden chips, a playground surface made from rubber granulate or pellets is much easier to keep clean, and problems with e.g. hidden, left-behind needles, broken glass and faeces from cats and dogs can thus be avoided.

GENAN SAFE – PLAY

– A POURED-IN-PLACE SURFACING SOLUTION –

GENAN SAFE – PLAY consists of:

– a 2½-4½ inch base layer of GENAN PELLETS 3.8 / 35, and
– a ½ inch top player of GENAN COATED TOP LAYER – or a 50/50 mix of GENAN COATED TOP LAYER and GENAN COARSE granulate.

This solution has achieved a 6-10 ft critical fall height certification.
 
GENAN COATED TOP LAYER is available in the following colors:
CARIBBEAN BLUE, CRIMSON RED, EARTH BROWN, NATURE GREEN, OCEAN BLUE and VIOLET.

CONSTRUCTION
When constructing the safety system top layer of the GENAN SAFE – PLAY solution, the ½ inch top layer can be constructed with either:
– a 100% GENAN COATED TOP LAYER, or
– a 50/50 mix of GENAN COATED TOP LAYER and GENAN COARSE

Alternative top layer solutions made from either:
– 100% TPV/EPDM/TPE, or
– a 50/50 mix of TPV/EPDM and GENAN COARSE
are also possible. If either TPV, TPE or EPDM is used, it is crucial that installers follow the instructions and recommendations of the supplier of these products in relation to material thickness and fall heights – and ensure compliance with applicable standards.
