A new playground safer surface with so many other uses
Tiger Mulch is a mixture of recycled shredded truck tyre rubber and a specially
formulated high performance polyurethane binder. The shredded rubber is
colour-coated in a factory process using a variety of colours. The overall effect is that it
looks very much like a natural bark / wood chip surface, but the difference is that it’s
bound together – so it won’t scuff out – and it will never rot away. Tiger Mulch is very
different from other rubberised play surfaces, not only in its appearance, but also in
the extent of preparation work that is required before it can be laid.
Tiger Mulch’s benefits;
- Resin bound – this surface will
not scuff out / displace
- Huge cost savings because no
major ground works needed
- Vastly reduced environmental
impact – no ground works means no
aggregates to be quarried, no transport of
soil off site required, no edgings required
- 85% recycled material by weight. Helps
solve the problem of what to do with used
road tyres
- Very natural appearance
- Safe – impact absorbing and non-slip
- Solves the problem of winter mud baths and summer dust bowls
- No shrinkage problems when installed into grass
- Very tough – vandal resistant
- A versatile surface
- Can be laid directly next to other surfaces – such as wet pour
A versatile surface
Tiger Mulch makes a great, natural-looking, hard-wearing safer surface. However, it
has many other uses.
- Excellent, natural looking pathway surface (without the need for significant
ground works).
- Brilliant for tree pits: Tiger Mulch is totally porous and its resilience means that its
surface does not crack as the tree grows.
- Superb surface under trees or in other difficult to maintain areas. Know this
problem? A place in your grounds that’s a mud bath in winter and a dust bowl in
summer? Tiger Mulch may well be the solution. Laid at 50mm thick Tiger Mulch
will lift foot traffic off the soil, resulting in a cleaner surface with no mud and no
dust. But its natural appearance will mean that most people won’t even realise
they’re in the vicinity of a synthetic surface until they’re actually walking on it!
- Tiger Mulch can be used in conjunction with other surfaces – such as wet pour –
to create imaginative and interesting areas.
