NATIONWIDE PROVIDERS OF SAFE, ECO-FRIENDLY PLAYGROUND SURFACING
Safer and More Accessible Playgrounds
Playgrounds are at the heart of communities, providing spaces for children to play, learn, and connect. However, traditional playground surfaces often fall short in ensuring safety and accessibility for all. Cork-based surfacing, like Corkeen, is transforming playgrounds into safer, more inclusive spaces, offering unparalleled benefits for children, parents, and communities.
Safety First: Reducing Playground Injuries
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), nearly 70% of playground injuries result from falls on unsafe surfaces. Cork-based surfacing is designed with safety in mind, offering a soft, impact-absorbing layer that reduces the risk of serious injuries.
Cork’s natural elasticity cushions falls, providing a resilient yet firm surface that meets stringent safety standards like EN1176 and EN1177. Whether children are climbing, sliding, or exploring, cork surfacing ensures a safer play environment.
Breaking Barriers: Accessibility for All
Playgrounds should be places where every child, regardless of ability, can enjoy and participate. Cork-based surfacing offers:
ADA Compliance: Its smooth, continuous surface allows easy navigation for mobility devices such as wheelchairs and walkers.
Inclusive Play: Cork’s hypoallergenic and natural properties make it safe for children with allergies or sensitivities.
Community-Friendly Design: The customizable nature of cork surfacing enables planners to create spaces that cater to diverse needs, ensuring no one feels left out.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Benefits
Cork is a natural, renewable material harvested sustainably from the cork oak tree. By choosing cork-based surfacing, communities invest in a solution that is not only safe and accessible but also environmentally responsible. Corkeen’s surfacing is carbon-negative, sequestering up to -102 kg CO2eq/m² during its lifecycle, making it a standout choice for eco-conscious projects.
Durable and Low Maintenance
Unlike loose-fill materials such as wood chips or sand, cork-based surfaces are durable and require minimal upkeep. This long-lasting material resists wear and tear, even in high-traffic playgrounds, and can be easily cleaned with basic tools, ensuring a consistently safe and beautiful play space for years to come.
Transforming Communities One Playground at a Time
Cork-based surfacing is more than a material—it's a commitment to creating spaces where children can play freely and safely while fostering community connections. Whether you're a school, daycare, or city planner, Corkeen offers a reliable, sustainable, and accessible solution that supports the well-being of every child.
