Why It Matters

The Ground Beneath the Fun Is Just As Important

The majority of playground injuries are caused not by the equipment — but by the fall surface beneath it. Choosing the right safety surfacing is one of the most important decisions in any playground project, and one we take very seriously at Kardo Construct.

All our surfaces comply with EN1177 impact attenuation standards. We assess your equipment heights, usage levels and environment to recommend the right product — and we install everything ourselves, so there's no gap in responsibility between equipment and surface.
