Playgrounds are vibrant spaces where children can unleash their energy, explore their imaginations, and build social connections. But with all the excitement and activity, there is also a risk of injuries. A rubber mat may not be enough. What’s needed is a material that combines the strength of rubber with the flexibility and versatility of polyethylene.

Lokflor specialises in the manufacture of high-quality polyethylene mats designed for various applications. We offer clients the option to request a rubber alternative blend in the polyethylene mats. Please note that the incorporation of rubber is subject to our engineering team's approval and the technical feasibility of the customisation.

The perfect blend of safety and performance

Lokflor is a renowned pioneer in plastic injection moulding manufacturing, and they have brought their expertise to playground safety, particularly in early childhood development (ECD) environments. Their play zone ECD mats use the best qualities of both rubber mat and polyethylene, offering a superior product that excels in durability and comfort.

Crafted with care ...
... and precision

Lokflor takes pride in their meticulous approach to crafting ECD playground mats. They use premium LLDPE polymer from SASOL, ensuring exceptional quality and longevity. These mats are not made from 100% solid rubber; instead, Lokflor has developed a cutting-edge solution that combines rubber’s strength with polyethylene’s flexibility. This results in mats that can withstand the test of time while providing a comfortable and safe surface for children to play on.

Weatherproof and long-lasting

With a life expectancy of up to 20 years and a robust 15-year guarantee, Lokflor's ECD mats are a long-term investment in the safety and enjoyment of children.

Aside from this, Lokflor's polyethylene playground mats also boast an all-weather design that makes them ideal for outdoor applications. The innovative interlocking and self-draining features ensure that water and other liquids quickly drain away, preventing slips and maintaining a dry and safe surface for children to enjoy.

Promoting safety and comfort

Lokflor understands that safety and comfort go hand in hand. Their mats incorporate state-of-the-art multi-directional flex technology, which minimizes the risk of injuries and fatigue. This advanced design allows the mats to absorb impact and reduce the strain on children's joints and muscles. Additionally, the mats' unique airflow-promoting design ensures a cooler playing surface, providing comfort even during energetic play sessions.

Seamless transition and reduced hazards

Tripping hazards can pose significant risks in a playground setting. To address this concern, Lokflor has integrated expertly designed edging ramps into their combination of polyethylene and large rubber floor mats. These ramps create a seamless transition between different mat sections, eliminating potential tripping points and ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for children.
