POLYFLEX softfall surfacing systems: safer playgrounds for children

■ Low maintenance
■ Extremely durable
■ Internationally recognised for quality and performance
■ Outstanding cushioning for use in children’s playgrounds
■ Water permeable

Like all POLYFLEX products our playground surfacing systems are made to the highest standards.
The system is mixed and layed on site by fully trained and experienced local applicators backed by a company with a reputation of over 135 years.

The 1956 Olympic Games were the catalyst for Wm Loud to expand its field of endeavours to include a large range of synthetic surfaces. POLYFLEX softfall was developed by a worl leader in surfacing systems and was introduced in 1989. Since then Wm Loud has been a leader in the construction of playground safety systems.

Softfall: for those hard decisions
Softfall is now installed in children's playgrounds throughout the world, and in all climatic conditions. Due to its porous nature POLYFLEX softfall allows playground equipment to be used immediately after even the heaviest rainfall. The system surface will not breakdown, blow or wash away, decompose or hold puddles.

Softfall can be installed to any required depth allowing users to design for the fall height
requirements for surfacing under specific items of play equipment.

The POLYFLEX system can be installed directly over an existing asphalt or concrete area, normally with little or no prior treatment to the existing surface. The surface can be installed around existing play equipment and awkwardly shaped surfaces.

Why choose Softfall?
The EPDM or fibre rubber which forms the surface of the system are extremely hardwearing and have very good UV resistance. The rubber comes in several colours allowing for differentiation of particular sections within a playground area.

POLYFLEX softfall playground surfacing is seamless and jointless and consists of a unique single component polyurethane resin binder which is combined with rubber shred to form a highly shock absorbent base layer. Add to this a15mm (minimum) surface layer of EPDM or fibre rubber bound together with the same single component polyurethane resin binder for safe,
clean, low-maintenance playground surfaces.

Personalising your playground
When considering your playground area design, POLYFLEX softfall offers the added advantage of
allowing the application of a theme. With the range of coloured EPDM or fibre rubber available, your playground can be personalised to suit your surroundings.

Corporate or school logos, coloured games zones or eye catching patterns can enhance the appeal of your play areas along with the proven maintenance and safety factors.

POLYFLEX is flexible
Polyflex systems are also suitable for poolside surrounds, designated games areas, walkways and bike tracks. In fact, almost anywhere a safe, quiet, clean, moisture permeable, slip-free
surface is required.

Major advantages of POLYFLEX softfall surfacing systems
Along with the considerable cost advantages in choosing the softfall surface system comes the peace of mind that this strong and extremely durable, clean and safe surface will last, retaining full depth of colour without requiring costly, periodical resurfacing.

POLYFLEX has been synonymous with high performance surfaces for more than two decades. The technology which led to the development of POLYFLEX surfaces is the basis for the outstanding performance and safety characteristics of this surfacing system.

Ease of installation
The system is installed using a ‘wet pour’ process, effectively creating a large mat covering the required areas without any problem seams or joins. POLYFLEX softfall is a safer, cleaner
option for playground areas.

SAFETY STANDARD:
POLYFLEX softfall meets the requirements of both Australia and New Zealand standards for safety surfacing AS/NZ 4422:1996.
