Surfacing company Playtop has reported great interest from Scandinavian locations in its wet-pour product since opening an office in the region.
In the space of four months the company has set up new licensees for its impact-absorbing play surfacing in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and has completed its first projects.
One such is at Klim Strand Camping in the north of Denmark. The eco-friendly camp site was looking for a colourful, flexible surface for use in a new 600sq m indoor activity and climbing centre.
The play area tells the story of the people of the bay of Jammerbugten, who in times of hardship deliberately beached passing ships by luring them to the shore. Once stranded, 'beach thieves' moved in and stripped the ships of anything edible and useable.
A climbing net represents the ship whilst different coloured Playtop has been used to create a landscape of dunes, water, islands and whales.
Schools are also getting involved, with the first school playgrounds to use Playtop in Norway and Denmark already open.
'Tiger Hill' was created by architects for the Tjornegardsskolen school in Gentofte, Denmark, which wanted to create a challenging play area for all ages. The result is a large play mound, rising to 2m at its highest, which is covered in black and eggshell Playtop surfacing to resemble a tiger.
Playtop safer surfacing is manufactured from recycled commercial vehicle tyres produced by a sister company, Charles Lawrence International.
In addition, Playtop has a global partnership with sportswear company Nike, which sees recycled sports shoes also used in its surfacing. Every square metre of Playtop which incorporates Nike Grind contains rubber from approximately 20 pairs of trainers and one commercial vehicle tyre, preventing such material from ending up in landfill sites.
