A Safe Playground Starts with the Right Surfac
A Safe Playground Starts with the Right Surface
When designing a playground, a safe and impact-absorbing surface is essential, one that cushions falls and reduces the risk of injury. Aslon® EPDM recycled tiles are an ideal solution. They offer excellent shock absorption combined with a sustainable character: made from recycled materials and fully compliant with the strictest European safety standards.
What is Critical Fall Height – and How Do You Choose the Right Tile?
Critical fall height refers to the maximum height from which a child can fall without sustaining serious injury. This is determined using the HIC score (Head Injury Criterion), a scientifically based measurement that objectively assesses the impact of a fall.
The Right Solution for Every Playground
Whether for a public playground, schoolyard, or private garden, Aslon® EPDM recycled tiles provide a safe foundation for any type of play equipment. With high shock absorption, they are suitable for fall heights up to 3 metres. The tiles are sound-absorbing, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance, making them ideal for high-use environments. The correct fall heights for these tiles are:
| Thickness: | Fall Height: |
| 30 mm | 1,00 meter |
| 45 mm | 1,37 meters |
| 50 mm | 1,49 meters |
| 65 mm | 1,90 meters |
| 80 mm | 2,16 meters |
| 100 mm | 3,00 meters |
