These 500mm × 500mm × 30mm rubber ramped edges and corners are purpose-built to pair with our 30mm playground tiles, creating a smooth, gradual transition from tile surface to ground level. No sharp edges, no trip hazards, no ugly exposed tile sides — just a clean, compliant finish that passes any safety inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500mm × 500mm × 30mm (matches 30mm playground tiles exactly)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Types\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRamped Edge (straight run) and Corner Piece (90° turns)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack and Green (match 30mm tile colours)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-density recycled rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRamp Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGradual slope from 30mm tile height down to ground level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterlocking — connects directly to tile edges using same dowel system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUV Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — colour-stable and fade-resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeather Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrost-proof, waterproof, suitable for year-round outdoor use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tiles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30mm Rubber Playground Tiles (500mm × 500mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEdge vs Corner — Which Do You Need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePiece Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity Guide\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRamped Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery straight perimeter run — along walls, fences, and open sides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne edge piece per 500mm of straight border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Piece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 90° outside corner where two edge runs meet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne corner per outside corner of your installation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 4m × 3m rectangular tile area has 4 straight sides and 4 corners.

For 20mm or 40mm installations, the ramp profile would not align correctly. Contact us if you need edge pieces for other thicknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many edge pieces do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Each piece covers 500mm (0.5m) of perimeter. Multiply your total open perimeter length in metres by 2 to get your edge piece count. Add one corner piece per outside corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do they connect with the same dowels as the tiles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — the edge and corner pieces use the same interlocking dowel connector system as the 30mm playground tiles. No additional hardware needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can edge pieces be cut shorter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — cut with a sharp utility knife along the rubber base, or use a jigsaw for cleaner cuts. The material trims easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these required for safety compliance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: While not mandatory by standard, ramped edges are strongly recommended for any EN1177-compliant installation. Exposed 30mm tile edges are classified as a trip hazard by most RoSPA inspectors and local authority assessors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I mix Black and Green edge pieces?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: They are the same profile — the only difference is colour. You can mix them within the same installation, though a consistent colour gives a more professional finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What's the difference between an edge and a corner piece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: An edge piece is a straight ramp for straight perimeter runs. A corner piece is an L-shaped ramp for 90° outside corners.
