These 5 mm thick outdoor mats for under slide areas in a playground are available in three sizes. Depending on the size of the area you want covered, the 3-options will offer an effective layer that is easy to install or remove due to their light weight. The rubber mat for bottom of slide areas is made from materials that are UV and weather resistant. Since these rubber mats are made from reclaimed and natural rubber products, they offer the maximum protection from these elements that a rubber product can offer. Playground slide mats are made for the landing area in a commercial playground. Since the landing area of a slide is commonly subject to wear and tear, a rubber slide mat will add a coating of protection in these areas. This surface protection for the end of a slide run is necessary since oncoming foot traffic is coming towards the landing area with speed and will cause extra abrasion to the surface of the playground’s floor. The potential cost of repairs far exceeds the cost of a very cost-effective rubber slide mat, especially if the area already suffered some damage. These rubber mats for the bottom of slides are also water resistant and that helps in diverting moisture away from the base of slides. Having a rubber mat there will help alleviate some of these concerns. Since these rubber mats are water resistant, they are also very easy to clean with soap, water and other non-corrosive households cleaners.
