Synthetic Grass Safety Surfacing

Synthetic grass has become very popular in the last ten years as an all weather safety surface for children’s playgrounds. As a safety surface the synthetic grass is installed over an impact matting underlay, offering Critical Fall Height properties from 1.5m to 2.93m.

SSP PROPLAY Safety Surface Systems offer clean, safe and durable play areas for children. SSP PROPLAY is a recycled closed cell polyethylene foam product that will not rot or degrade, and acts as an excellent drainage medium, allowing for its use under trees and on slopes. It is the ultimate shock absorber that will retain its ability to absorb shock over many years.

Synthetic Grass Cleaning

SSP Ltd has become an experienced synthetic grass cleaning and rejuvenation company being one of the first companies in the UK to recognise the need for surface maintenance. SSP now supports a large client base amongst schools, local authorities, private court owners and clubs.

Filled synthetic grass needs regular cleaning and maintenance to avoid sand compaction and contamination. Moss and algal spores form‘algal squidge’ and the resultant dark green slime on the surface is very slippery and dangerous. Flooding, slow drainage, irregular ball speed and bounce bring complaints from users.

An obligation free inspection is carried out and skilled operatives are available to carry out professional rejuvenation procedures appropriate to the condition of the surface and the budget of the client.
