Fall protec­tion systems

Soft landing included

Fall protec­tion cove­rings and fall protec­tion systems are at least as important as the devices we fall from.

IN SCHOOL AND PLAYGROUND, BUT ALSO WHEN EATING OR SHOPPING, WE WANT HIGH-QUALITY EXERCISE OFFERS FOR OUR CHILDREN.

Fall protec­tion cove­rings and fall protec­tion systems are at least as important as the devices we fall from. In school and on the play­ground, but also when eating or shop­ping, we want high-quality exer­cise offers for our children. Of course, secu­rity plays a crucial role in this.

The chal­lenges are diverse, as are the solu­tions. The FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion system offers maximum safety. Here are three examples.

IN THE MALL OF SWITZERLAND, NOT ONLY QUESTIONS OF SAFETY, BUT ALSO THE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES WERE DECISIVE.

The Mall of Switz­er­land in Ebikon (Canton Lucerne) is the second largest shop­ping and leisure desti­na­tion in Switz­er­land with a total area of 65,000 m². The concept of the mall combines shops and restau­rants with leisure and sports faci­li­ties and more than 1,500 m² of play areas.

When it came to the indoor play world in Ebikon, it wasn’t just ques­tions of safety that were decisive, but also the wide range of design options with Flex­pe­ri­ence.

The use of a total of six diffe­rent colors resulted in a colorful and diverse world of games in the Mall of Switz­er­land that is unique in Switz­er­land. The instal­la­tion heights of the Flex­pe­ri­ence fall protec­tion floors of 40 to 90 mm guarantee safe play, fun and move­ment with a maximum required fall height of 2.60 m.

With a color mix of red and bright red, the first FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion surface in Germany is rolling out the red carpet for its young guests in the restau­rant.

The first FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion area in Germany was put into opera­tion in summer 2019 in a new branch of the system cate­ring provider “Koch­löffel” in Stein­furt.

With a color mix of red and bright red, the installed fall protec­tion system rolls out the red carpet for the young guests in the restau­rant. Toge­ther with the indi­vi­du­ally desi­gned play and slide tower, the children can play care­free and safely on the appro­xi­m­ately 25 m² fall protec­tion area every time they visit the restau­rant.

Thanks to the medium gray chosen for the top layer, the play area comple­tely takes up the design of the surroun­ding buil­dings and the new buil­ding.

When the Weis­sen­stein school complex in Würen­lingen was expanded in May 2020, the outdoor faci­li­ties were also rede­si­gned. With the new cons­truc­tion of various school rooms, a kinder­garten, audi­to­rium and a double gymna­sium, the school buil­ding became a “school living space”.

The design of the play area and the fall protec­tion surface also take this idea into account. While other FLEXPERIENCE refe­rences score with their color design, the fall protec­tion floo­ring in Würen­lingen is not colorful, but shows itself in the urban design. Thanks to the medium gray chosen for the top layer, the play area comple­tely takes up the design of the surroun­ding buil­dings and the new buil­ding that has been created and fits perfectly into the overall ensemble of the newly desi­gned school grounds.

Various systems were installed on the 76 m² fall protec­tion area due to the diffe­rent fall heights. In addi­tion to the optical harmony, it guaran­tees care­free and safe play at a height of up to three meters.

Comple­mented by the unusual play equip­ment made of metal, an extra­or­di­na­rily futu­ristic play­ground was created that under­lines the crea­tive poten­tial and versa­ti­lity of the fall protec­tion cove­rings used.

FLEXPERIENCE offers some special features that distin­guish this inno­va­tion from conven­tional fall protec­tion floor cove­rings.

The novelty of this system is the special base layer granule deve­loped and manu­fac­tured only for this purpose. For the base layer of a FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion system, only EPDM rubber granules are used, which are 100% virgin mate­rial.

The granule is foamed using the exclu­sive “Swiss Cheese Prin­ciple”. This unique tech­no­logy creates small air pockets, which lead to parti­cu­larly soft and cushio­ning surfaces.

Thanks to the mate­rials used, the system is abso­lutely harm­less in terms of toxi­co­logy, envi­ron­mental and human compa­ti­bi­lity. This is another major diffe­rence to some systems that use recy­cled granules from used tires.

With FLEXPERIENCE, the customer not only receives indi­vi­dual compon­ents, but also all the mate­rials required to build a fall protec­tion surface: base layer granule, colored EPDM granule for the top layer and the binding agent that holds ever­y­thing toge­ther. He also receives instal­la­tion instruc­tions.

This has the advan­tage that all the neces­sary tests and certi­fi­ca­tions have already been carried out. This saves effort and costs and gives the client the certainty of instal­ling a fully tested, coor­di­nated and safe fall protec­tion system.

FLEXPERIENCE is a globally available and licensed system that is sold and profes­sio­nally installed by speci­ally quali­fied regional license part­ners. That means compe­tence from produc­tion to handover.

FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion floor cove­rings meet the highest requi­re­ments in terms of fall protec­tion and envi­ron­mental compa­ti­bi­lity.

FLEXPERIENCE was deve­loped to ensure maximum safety in child­ren’s play­grounds. The two-layer fall protec­tion system is the result of more than 50 years of expe­ri­ence in the manu­fac­ture and rese­arch of rubber granules. The fall protec­tion floor cove­rings meet the highest requi­re­ments for fall protec­tion and envi­ron­mental compa­ti­bi­lity.

Thanks to the envi­ron­men­tally friendly compon­ents made from 100% virgin mate­rial and the inno­va­tive SCP tech­no­logy with which the base layer granule is foamed, the FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion floo­ring corre­sponds to the spirit of the times.

And in addi­tion to sustaina­bi­lity, this expects a soft and safe landing – and not just “they always come down.

We did this.
