Playground Surface Installation- 10 Years on and Still Thriving!

28th April 2017

Our installation at this Tyneside Primary School is one that proves the test of time with artificial turf used for a playground surface installation. We were called back up to the North Shields school to measure up yet another area, they are so pleased with their previous surfaces.

Somewhat ten years ago, the artificial turf installation team created this EPIC playground which consisted of phonics tiles, playground equipment, hopscotches, alphabet lines and more. And still after ten years of great maintenance the surface hasn’t discoloured, been worn down and it has had its durability and performance tested. Artificial turf has been the cost-effective solution for this North-East School.

The primary school, which is situated in the South-East of North Tyneside and we have completed all sorts of installations for them including a hockey surface which has proven to be a huge success. Our artificial turf not only is perfect for pupils to use, but it is also a multi-sport product which means it can withstand common PE activities.

With the right maintenance, artificial turf surfaces can last for much longer than anticipated

In fact, STM artificial turf surfaces can last 15-20years if they are properly looked after.

The colours have stayed vibrant and eye-catching

This colourful playground surface installation was completed using a safe play product which is available in a wide variety of colours including blue, yellow, red, rust, white and green. Other colours may be available on request.

A playground surface installation that will last for many years to come

Many of the schools whom we do installations for would like playground equipment which we can happily fit for you and ensure the artificial grass is suitable for it. Shock pads may also be recommended or are necessary to specific installations due to the critical fall height off some equipment. But if you’re unsure, we specialise in playgrounds therefore can accommodate your needs whilst ensuring standards are met.

After ten years of heavy footfall, it is hard to believe that the surface can look this good and still perform incredibly well!
