When is it important to use shock pads with artificial grass?
Shock pads are crucial for enhancing the safety and performance of artificial grass installations in schools, playgrounds, and sports fields. Designed to provide a cushioned surface, shock pads help reduce the risk of injuries from falls, making play areas safer for children. They also improve the comfort and durability of synthetic turf, ensuring it withstands heavy use and various weather conditions. By integrating shock pads, you ensure your artificial grass installation meets the highest safety standards, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all users. Trust Perfectly Green for premium artificial grass solutions with essential shock pads for optimal performance and safety.
Our impact absorbing shock pads provide a protective and cost-effective solution to achieve additional impact absorption and drainage. These benefits are crucial for a variety of projects including for schools and playgrounds. Perfectly Green shock pads are easy to install, supplied in 0.9m x 2.25m tiles - coverage of 2.025sqm per tile. There are three depth options: 25mm, 35mm or 45mm, but they can be used in combination to create a depth of 60mm and 80mm. This enables you to tailor the tiles to suit the critical fall height protection your project requires. Our shock absorbing pads make them extremely popular for use in schools and playgrounds and correct use and installation will greatly reduce the risk of injury to children from trips and falls.

The Importance of Shock Pads in Play Areas
Shock pads play a vital role in creating safe play environments. Installed beneath artificial grass, shock pads provide an additional layer of cushioning, reducing the impact of falls and minimising the risk of serious injuries. Here’s why they are essential:
Enhanced Safety:
Shock pads significantly reduce the risk of injuries by absorbing the impact of falls. This is particularly important in areas with playground equipment, where children are more likely to fall from heights.
Critical Fall Height (CFH) Compliance:
CFH is a measure of the maximum height from which a fall will not result in a life-threatening injury. Shock pads help ensure that the play surface meets
CFH requirements, providing a safer environment for children to play.
Improved Comfort:
Shock pads create a softer, more comfortable surface, making play areas more enjoyable for children. The added cushioning also reduces stress on joints, promoting better overall physical well-being.
Durability and Longevity:
By providing a stable and cushioned base, shock pads enhance the durability and longevity of artificial grass. This means lower maintenance costs and a longer-lasting play area.
