Unitary surfacing such as poured-in-place rubber is a popular option for playgrounds and other outdoor play areas. Here are some of the advantages of using poured-in-place rubber surfacing on a playground:

Safety: Poured-in-place rubber surfacing is a safe option for playgrounds because it creates a cushioned surface that can help reduce the risk of injury from falls. It provides a stable and slip-resistant surface, which can help prevent accidents.

Durability: Poured-in-place rubber surfacing is durable and can last for many years with proper maintenance. It is resistant to wear and tear, weather, and other environmental factors, making it an ideal option for outdoor play areas.

Customizable: Poured-in-place rubber surfacing can be customized to fit any playground layout or design. It comes in a variety of colors, textures, and thicknesses, allowing for a unique and aesthetically pleasing play area.

Accessibility: Poured-in-place rubber surfacing is accessible to children with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs or mobility devices. It provides a smooth surface that allows for easy movement.

Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) is an economical playground surfacing that is used on the majority of playgrounds in the United States. It has high impact absorbing qualities that when properly installed also offers a firm, slip resistant surface that meets accessibility guidelines.

Made of processed wood that is ground to a fibrous consistency randomly sized typically to not over 2� in length, Engineered Wood Fiber is typically free of hazardous substances and twig and leaf material.�Unlike wood mulch, EWF is made from the wood inside the tree, not using the bark. The small fiber pieces do not have sharp edges and splinters are not a problem.�The natural wood is engineered to knit together and form a surface soft enough to cushion falls and also firm enough for wheelchairs to navigate the playground.

Engineered wood fiber (EWF) is a popular option for playground safety surfaces, but it also has some disadvantages to consider.

Maintenance: EWF requires regular maintenance to keep it clean and free of debris. It may require occasional topping up to maintain the desired depth for safety purposes.

Weathering: EWF can be susceptible to weathering and can deteriorate over time due to exposure to the elements, particularly heavy rainfall and wind.

Attraction of Pests: EWF can attract pests such as insects and rodents, particularly if the wood fibers are not treated with the appropriate chemicals.

Depth: EWF requires a specific depth to ensure safety, which can be challenging to maintain over time, especially in high-use areas.
