Why Choose Our BS EN 1177 Certified Grass Mats

🛡️ BS EN 1177:1998 Certified Playground Safety

Our rubber grass mats are independently tested to BS EN 1177:1998 standards, certified for critical fall heights up to 3.3 metres. This makes them ideal for playground safety surfacing under climbing frames, slides, swings, and play equipment. The shock-absorbing rubber construction provides superior impact protection whilst maintaining a natural grass appearance.

🌱 Grass Growth & Natural Appearance

The 25mm drainage holes are strategically designed to allow grass to grow through the mat, creating a natural green appearance whilst providing robust protection underneath. Once grass has grown through, the mats virtually disappear from view, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space whilst protecting against wear, erosion, and muddy patches.

💧 Superior Drainage & Erosion Protection

The 25mm holes provide excellent drainage, preventing waterlogging and puddle formation even during heavy rainfall. Water drains through efficiently whilst the robust rubber structure protects grass roots and soil from erosion caused by heavy foot traffic. Ideal for high-traffic areas that would otherwise become muddy and worn.

🌦️ All-Weather Durability

Manufactured from premium recycled rubber, these mats are engineered to withstand all UK weather conditions – frost, snow, heavy rain, intense sun, and extreme temperatures from -30°C to +60°C. UV-stabilized formulation prevents degradation from sunlight exposure. The robust construction ensures 10-15+ year lifespan with minimal maintenance.

⚡ Easy Installation & Maintenance-Free

Simply lay the 1m x 1.5m mats on prepared ground (flat or contoured surfaces), secure with pegs and cable ties if desired, and allow grass to grow through. No costly groundwork, excavation, or specialist installation required. Once installed, the mats are virtually maintenance-free – grass can be mowed with conventional mowers, and the mats require no painting, sealing, or treatment.

♻️ Eco-Friendly Recycled Rubber

Manufactured from 100% recycled rubber (post-consumer tyres), each mat diverts approximately 15-20kg of waste from landfill. Non-toxic, safe for children, animals, and the environment. Contributes to sustainability targets for schools, councils, and public facilities. Choosing recycled rubber grass mats demonstrates environmental responsibility whilst delivering superior performance.

♿ Wheelchair & Accessibility Friendly

The smooth, firm surface provides excellent wheelchair accessibility, creating safe, navigable pathways through grassed areas. Prevents wheels sinking into soft ground or mud. Ideal for creating accessible routes in parks, gardens, schools, and public spaces, ensuring inclusive access for all users.

Installation Guidelines

Site Preparation

Clear the Area: Remove debris, stones, and sharp objects from installation area.
Level Surface: Ensure ground is reasonably level. Mats can accommodate gentle contours.
Grass Condition: Can be laid on existing grass or bare soil. For best results, grass should be short-mowed before installation.
Drainage: Ensure adequate natural drainage. Avoid areas with standing water.

Mat Installation Process

Lay Mats: Position 1m x 1.5m mats in desired configuration, butting edges closely together.
Secure (Optional): Use ground pegs and cable ties to secure mats, especially on slopes or high-traffic areas. Pegs & ties available as optional add-on.
Stagger Joints: For multi-mat installations, stagger joints in brick-bond pattern for stability.
Trim if Needed: Mats can be cut with sharp utility knife for custom fit around obstacles.
Allow Grass Growth: Grass will grow through 25mm holes within 2-4 weeks, creating natural appearance.

Thickness Selection Guide

16mm Thickness: Ideal for pathways, light-traffic areas, garden routes, equestrian walkways, general grass protection. Lighter weight, easier handling.
23mm Thickness: Recommended for playground safety surfacing (BS EN 1177 certified), high-traffic areas, sports fields, heavy-duty applications. Superior impact absorption and durability.

Maintenance & Care

Grass Mowing: Mow grass growing through mats with conventional lawn mower. Set mower height to avoid blade contact with rubber.
Cleaning: Hose down occasionally to remove dirt and debris. Brush with stiff broom if needed.
Inspection: Check quarterly for displacement or damage. Re-secure with pegs if movement occurs.
Weed Control: Treat weeds growing through holes with standard herbicides safe for grass.
Winter: Mats remain flexible in freezing conditions. No special winter care required.
Lifespan: Expect 10-15+ years with minimal maintenance in typical applications.

Coverage Calculator for 1m x 1.5m Mats

Mat Specifications: 1.0m x 1.5m = 1.5m² coverage per mat

Area Size	Mats Required	Total Coverage
Small pathway (3m x 2m)	4 mats	6m²
Medium area (5m x 3m)	10 mats	15m²
Playground zone (6m x 6m)	24 mats	36m²
Large area (10m x 10m)	67 mats	100.5m²

Formula: (Area in m² ÷ 1.5) = number of mats required

Examples: 15m² area = 10 mats | 30m² area = 20 mats | 50m² area = 34 mats

Pro Tip: Add 5-10% extra for cuts, wastage, and future repairs.
