Magazine - TigerTip: School Alert

By Jo Prothero in Schools on 23rd Nov 2009 12:00

Synthetic playground surfaces are relatively new innovations that offer schools new age opportunities when compared to
asphalt, concrete and in some cases, natural grass.

It is increasingly evident that many Schools are currently installing synthetic playground surfaces, and it is equally evident
that diligence in the procurement process is critical to the long term sustainability of your installed product.

School Principals need to be vigilant to ensure that they are not being seduced by accepting cheapest quotes from inexperienced operators with inferior products.

Purchasing synthetic surfaces is similar to buying carpet for your home, in that you usually get what you pay for. Canny buyers should carefully consider the experience and reputation of the provider/installer as well as comparing the quality of the product, and the nature and quality of the base on which it is to be laid.

For a list of tips and advice please contact us.
