Rubber Outdoor Tiles for Playgrounds

No Fault Surfaces rubber playground tiles are made in the USA from 100% environmentally sustainable recycled rubber. As a clean alternative to loose fill play surfacing, our tiles are engineered to mitigate the risk of serious injury associated with falls from playground equipment. The modular design, made from dense recycled rubber, enables easy maintenance.

No Fault Surfaces Safety Tiles are available in traditional pigmented colors with a 10 year warranty, or the increasingly popular ultra color choices with the industry’s only 15 year warranty! All playground tiles have matching components for transitions, corners and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility. Our rubber outdoor tiles are appropriate for new or renovated playgrounds, offering easy installation, low maintenance and superior performance.

 

Our Safety Tiles vs. Poured-in-Place Surfacing

Our Safety Tiles are interlocking, modular tiles. We recommend professional installation, though a dedicated DIY team may be able to install them with proper site preparation and instructions. Tiles arrive at your site as pre-measured, uniform pieces, and are installed with adhesive for a long-term indoor or outdoor solution.

Poured-in-Place (PIP) surfacing is mixed and applied at your site. The first layer is made from recycled rubber buffings. Installers then add a top layer of colored EPDM rubber granules bound with polyurethane adhesive to create a unitary surface.

If you’re comparing PIP and playground Safety Tiles, a No Fault Surfaces professional can assess your site virtually or in person and recommend the right options for your needs. We can provide end-to-end support, from consultation to professional installation by our experienced technicians.

The Benefits of Our Safety Tiles

Rubber tiles work well for playgrounds and indoor areas. You can also choose from different colors and thicknesses for apartment or condo complexes, schools, daycare, playgrounds, dance studios and other settings.

These tiles are designed to support traction, even when wet, and the thickness options offer different levels of fall protection. Unlike a rubber mat for your playground, our Safety Tiles are secured with adhesive or a 4-Corner Lock System, providing a durable, lasting flooring system that supports plenty of play.

Tiles easily customize to your space and interlock, minimizing downtime. Maintenance is simple and cost-effective. You can clean the Safety Tiles with a neutral detergent, a wet/dry vacuum, or an E-Cleaner with a soft nylon pad. If part of the floor is damaged, you may be able to replace the affected tile without resurfacing the entire play area.

Playground Safety Tiles may be more cost-effective up front, depending on project scope and installation needs. Since the tiles interlock, you may also save on installation costs, though this varies depending on project complexity. 

Our Safety Tiles come in a range of colors so you can match them to your brand or play area theme. Pattern layouts, edging solutions and corner tiles give the surface a more polished appearance.

They also enhance your space by reducing noise by up to 18 decibels. This effect can make them a solid choice for indoor play areas in places of worship, schools and other organizations where quiet activities and play take place in the same buildings.

Our Safety Tiles can support accessible playground designs when installed as part of an ADA-compliant play area. They are tested to ASTM F1292 and certified by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA).

Made with recycled rubber materials, Safety Tiles support eco-conscious surfacing goals by keeping rubber out of landfills.

Critical fall height (CFH) refers to the maximum fall height from which a surface is tested to help reduce the risk of serious head injury, based on applicable standards. Different play structures have different fall heights, so CFH ratings help determine which surfacing depth may be appropriate for the equipment. Different thicknesses are available for different critical fall height ratings:
