What Are Rubber Playground Tiles?
Rubber playground tiles are impact-absorbing safety surfaces installed beneath and around playground equipment to reduce injury from falls. Made from recycled or virgin rubber, they provide a durable, weatherproof, non-slip surface that complies with BS EN 1177 — the British and European standard for playground impact attenuation. Our tiles are suitable for schools, nurseries, parks, leisure centres, sports facilities and private gardens.

We manufacture and distribute a comprehensive range of rubber flooring products for playgrounds and commercial spaces, including:
- Rubber playground safety tiles — interlocking, impact-absorbing tiles available in multiple thicknesses (20mm–65mm) to suit different fall heights
- Wet pour rubber surfacing — seamless, poured-in-place EPDM rubber for a smooth, colourful playground finish
- Rubber matting rolls — versatile non-slip rolls for gyms, sports halls, commercial kitchens and walkways
- Grass mats & ground reinforcement — permeable rubber grid systems for soft ground protection
- Anti-slip entrance matting — entrance and safety mats for schools, leisure centres and public buildings

Safety Standards & Certifications
Playground safety is our primary concern. All of our rubber playground tiles are tested to BS EN 1177:2018 — the current British Standard for impact-absorbing playground surfacing. This standard specifies the critical fall height a surface can safely absorb, ensuring children are protected in the event of a fall from playground equipment.
When you purchase playground tiles from PlaygroundTiles UK, you receive full compliance documentation to satisfy school inspections, local authority requirements and insurance obligations. We supply both domestic customers and large-scale commercial contractors with the same high standard of certified product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of rubber playground tile do I need?
Tile thickness is determined by the critical fall height of the equipment. As a guide: 20mm tiles suit low-level equipment up to 0.6m; 30mm suits falls to 1.0m; 40mm to 1.5m; and 65mm tiles protect falls up to 2.5m. Our team can advise on the correct thickness for your specific installation.
