More about this product

Playground safety tiles that size the cushioning to how far a child can fall.

The playground safety tile schools, daycares, and park districts specify

Two-Thickness Safety Tile

Two thicknesses, two fall-height numbers — match tile to the drop below.

School playgrounds, daycare yards, and community parks each pair different equipment with a different drop height, so the right cushioning starts with knowing that number. Safe-Play Tiles are rubber playground tiles that pair two thicknesses with two matching fall-height ratings.

Green Safe-Play rubber playground tiles installed under a large commercial playground climbing structure and slide

Two Fall-Height Ratings

The 2.5″ tile cushions falls up to 6’, the 3.5″ tile up to 8’, so the thickness ordered matches the equipment height below it.

Drains and Resists Mildew

Open, permeable rubber lets rain drain straight through instead of pooling, while a mold- and mildew-resistant surface stays usable through wet seasons.

Made in USA, 5-Year Warranty

Manufactured domestically with recycled rubber content and backed by a 5-year limited warranty on every color and thickness.

5-Color Palette

Black, blue, gray, and green cover both thicknesses; terracotta rounds out the palette in the 2.5″ tile only.

Customer Questions & Answers

25 questions

  • My backyard is grass and not concrete. What is the safest way to apply on grass?

    Our 1" Safe-Play Tiles are installed with dowels. Dowels are little pegs that hold the flooring together. Similar to the pegs used to put furniture together. Our 2.5" and 3.5" tiles are installed with glue. You would place the glue in between the tiles to hold the flooring together.

  • I'd like to install this on the floor of our garage, underneath some playground equipment to be hung from the rafters. When not in use, however, we'd still like to park the cars in there. Can this flooring handle the weight of a car?

    Our Safe-Play Tiles can handle the weight of a car. Since these are composed of rubber, oil from your vehicle can break down the flooring over time.

  • Can 2.5" thick Safe Play tiles be installed on level compact dirt. The play area would be surrounded by curbing but not adhered with glue to any under surface.

    Our Safe-Play tiles are recommended to be installed over Concrete, Asphalt and Wood sub surfaces. Since these tiles are porous, any heavy rain may cause the dirt underneath to become compromised and cause your flooring to buckle.

  • Can you tell me if the tiles are rated to ASTM F3012? If so are they able to protect against impact when the temperatures drop well below freezing? We live in Alaska and the children use to playground until it's -15.

    Our Safe Play Tiles are not rated ASTM F3012 because they are not loose-fill rubber. These tiles will protect against impact in below freezing temperatures.

  • 5 out of 5 starsThe right choice

    We looked at multiple options prior to purchasing the mats from rubber flooring. We are so happy with our purchase. They work and look better than we imagined. We recommend them to everyone.

  • 5 out of 5 starsGreat for a Backyard Playground

    We bought a house a few years ago that already had a nice playground installed in the backyard. When our child was old enough to use it, we realized that the rubber chips used for the surface were difficult to keep clean with the leaves and pine needles falling on the playground, plus the chips were becoming substandard as the landscape fabric was starting to show below. So we needed to figure out a way to clean the chips, buy more chips, or replace the surface. We decided to replace the chips with rubber tiles and are very happy with that decision. We used the 1" tiles since it was a fairly small playground set and used all black tiles. The area covered was a little over 300 square feet and we used about 84 tiles. Perhaps the hardest part of the project was just removing all the rubber chips and cleaning the site. Installing the tiles with the playground set in place already was simple as the tiles are easy to cut with a utility knife and they are easy to place around existing equipment, measuring with a 2-foot square ruler. It took about 15 hours of work to install all the tiles over the course of two weekends, just doing it by myself. The dowels indeed were a little tricky to get all the tiles to match up well, but the slight grades in the surface also caused this. I think I got a good handle on installing the dowels after doing a few of them. I've only had the tiles installed for about a week, but I can already tell this surface is much easier to clean than the previous rubber chips. The leaves and pine needles blow off easily with my electric sweeper/blower and it's also easy to wash everything off with the hose. Now the "scary" part of the playground in the corner, where it was most dirty and you didn't know what was growing/living back there, isn't scary anymore. The surface is very sturdy and comfortable. I like that it's much more even than the rubber chips and less likely to trip/slip on. Our 2-year old really seems to like it! And I look forward to getting many years of use out of the playground with these new tiles!
