Product Description

RubbaGrass® mats are designed and manufactured to provide superior safety, durability and versatility. Our rubber grass mats offer a discreet and cost-effective solution to easily increase the safety of natural grass playgrounds, activity centres, public areas, golf courses. We supply this product in two thicknesses as standard but most often 22mm and only recommend this thickness for any fall height protection.

As the name suggests, our RubbaGrass® mats are mainly used on grass. However, due to its versatility and high-quality materials we manufacture from, you can use our rubber grass mats in various environments. We regularly supply for our grass mats for use at: ice rinks, ski slopes, pathways, events for ground protection and even in bars and kitchens. A side from fall protection, these mats offer slip resistance, anti-fatigue properties, drainage holes for wet areas or spillage zones and ground reinforcement.

The RubbaGrass® Difference

The unique aperture design that our RubbaGrass® mats feature allow for higher rates of drainage. However, they also serve another key purpose which sets our rubber grass mats apart from other safety surfacing products. After the matting has been installed grass will begin to grow through the holes which, in time can hide the mats almost entirely. This enables you to greatly increase safety while also maintaining the natural look of your outdoor area.

Our rubber grass mats are suitable for use in all weather conditions. Unlike PVC matting, which becomes brittle in colder temperatures, our rubber grass matting properties do not fluctuate in different temperatures. This ensures that RubbaGrass® is able to provide consistent levels of safety and protection all year around.

Grasshield®

Grasshield® grass reinforcement mesh is the ideal solution for providing protection to grassy areas that are prone to wear. Where you want to preserve the look of the grass in areas that are used by pedestrians, such as access routes and walkways, Grasshield mesh is essential. It is also perfect for play areas and parks as it still allows the grass to grow through. You can easily install our Grasshield® ground reinforcement mesh under the RubbaGrass® mats to provide additional strength and stability. This product is particularly useful on soil which is prone to becoming waterlogged. You can also use this product in areas which receive high levels of footfall to protect against soil erosion.

Grass Mats Europe are now holding stock of Grasshield® in our European warehouse due to demand for ground reinforcement accessories.

Fixing Pegs and Ties

We always suggest installing our RubbaGrass® safety mats using our secure barbed plastic pegs that will sit inside the holes of the mat. This ensures that the matting remains in place during periods of heavy footfall and adverse weather conditions. We advise using between 4-8 pegs per mat around the outer perimeter of the matting as standard. We also offer a heavy duty metal version which can be installed using drill and chuck, ideal for harder ground conditions.

We also recommend black cable ties for use with our RubbaGrass® mats. Using the cables you can connect adjacent mats to form a large solid structure. This will reduce movement underfoot and prolong the life of the product. All of our cable ties offer great heat-resistant properties making them ideal for outdoor use in all conditions. Able to withstand temperatures ranging from -35°C to 85°C not even the most frosty winters and harsh summers will degrade the product. The cable ties also offer acid and erosion control, making them suitable for a range of applications.

Rubber Matting Connectors

Our rubber matting connectors provide a flexible, durable and reusable solution to plastic connectors and cable ties. The flexibility of our rubber connectors enable them to effortlessly slot into any ring matting. Once in place the connectors can hold multiple mats together, even during heavy footfall.  You can also pop the connectors back out to separate and store the matting. We manufacture our rubber connectors from a combination of Natural Rubber and SBR compounds. This ensures that our connectors provide high levels of strength and tear resistance. They are also suitable for use in interior and exterior applications in temperatures as low as -20°C. This enables you to use our connectors in virtually any environment, unlike PVC connectors that can become brittle.
