FAQ's

Why is black a good color choice for a rubber mulch playground?

There are a few reasons why black is often chosen as the color for rubber mulch playgrounds. 

• One reason is that black absorbs heat well, so it can help keep the playground area cooler in warm weather.
• Another reason is that black rubber mulch is less likely to show dirt and other stains than lighter colors.
• And finally, black rubber mulch can provide a nice contrast to brightly colored playground equipment.

Is Rubber Mulch Safe?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Testing Company, and the State of Illinois, among numerous state and federal agencies, independent laboratories and licensed testing companies have conducted various tests designed to measure the shock-absorption of various surface materials as they relate to falling objects. Tire rubber chips have been shown to consistently absorb more shock impact than any other standard surface material. This is particularly important because more than 200,000 playground injuries end up in the emergency room every year. That is more than 500 visits per day. The majority of those injuries are attributed to falls. Therefore you can't afford to have anything less than the world's safest playground surface: Playsafer.
