Applications

Start with what the surface has to do.

A backyard, a sports field and a playground can look alike on day one. Underneath, they need different things. Choose your application and see what fits.

Seven applications

Same idea. Different demands.

FAQ

Questions about applications

Start with the application page. It lists the products developed for that use. The right build-up then depends on use intensity, site conditions and the standards that apply. A supplier or our team can confirm it for your project.

Yes, some products serve several applications. Each product page states the applications it is documented for, and test results always belong to a specific build-up.

It depends on the free height of fall of the play equipment. ONE-DNA™ Play 24 and ONE-DNA™ Vista have been tested to the European standard EN 1177 on shockpads from 25 to 55 mm and on a double layer, and each result belongs to the full build-up tested. Ask for the result for the build-up you plan to use.

Only where the roof designer confirms it fits the complete roof build-up. Drainage, load, wind and fire requirements are assessed for the whole roof, so involve the roof designer early.
