Play
A UV-resistant, cool surface for kids young and old.
A top of the line surface, suitable for dry applications, Play is designed for indoor and outdoor recreational areas. Perfect for playgrounds, courtyards and theme parks, it is a porous, pour-in-place system that withstands all types of weather, and is especially effective in an age of climate extremes.
Global warming means rising temperatures that can make outdoor play surfaces unbearably hot in the summer months. It's awfully tough on children, who often have to remain cooped up indoors when they should be out playing and enjoying themselves.
Cool, safe and visually appealing, PolySoft Play provides the perfect solution.
A study by the University of Western Sydney shows that PolySoft's specially developed surfaces are significantly cooler in the blazing sun than rubber and artificial grass. Dangerously high temperatures that prevent healthy activity are moderated by Play's cutting-edge technology.
PolySoft Play not only feels cool, it looks cool too. Instead of the dull matte shades we're used to, PolySoft Play comes in a selection of glossy and vibrant colours. There are 18 standard shades to choose from, which can, in turn, be mixed to create thousands of eye-catching combinations. And because they are composed of different-sized beads, Play can be compacted for a tighter, more attractive finish without compromising grip.
It's also versatile. It can be installed directly over concrete, compacted road base or an approved hard surface, and can be laid with or without an impact attenuation layer. PolySoft Play is the ultimate state of the art, soft-fall surface, a secure and child-friendly application that will stand up to the harshest conditions.

Client Testimonials
So much fun here, my kids love the Splash zone. And I love the non-slip floor, I don’t need to worry about them slipping.
JOY WALTZ FROM DUBAI
Mother of two, Katie 6 and Daniel 8, frequent visitors to Legoland waterpark, Dubai
In the past, we tried EPDM, rubber tiles, artificial grass and more, but we were not satisfied until we discovered PolySoft. It has hundreds of advantages.
REX QIN
Project Manager, UpGreen Group, Beijing, China
The area has held its colour and integrity under the happy pounding of the thousands of tiny feet over the last 10 years.
TRACEY LAWSON
Project officer, facilities management, Royal Melbourne Children’s hospital, Melbourne, Australia
I am certainly very happy with PolySoft, as it holds up so well.
NEIL HOBBS
Director, Harris Hobbs Landscapes, Canberra, ACT, Australia
I like it a lot, they did a good job putting it in. When the park reopened, people loved it. It is beautiful. It really looks nice. It will have an impact on reducing the number of slips and falls.
BILL KING
Director of parks and enrichment services for the city of Mount Vernon, Washington state, USA
We are happy with the product so far. It’s been installed for four to five years and it is much, much better than the previous product which only lasted for three to four months.
If you have a hard material, it won't absorb any impact, it’s better to have a soft-fall floor. We believe PolySoft is very nice for the kids.
ALBERT ABOUD
Construction engineer, Banyule city council, Victoria, Australia
The light-blue and dark-blue PolySoft surface has retained its vibrant hues, it is the best surface we’ve come across.
SCOTT SCHEFFERLY
Duty manager at Leisurelink Aquatic and Recreation Centre, in Geelong, Victoria, Australia
PolySoft had the colours and the track record in materials for what we needed to do. We needed a material that could go on a concrete floor and that we could shape up for water play.

Polysoft is the coolest product I’ve walked on in hot weather.
GARRY MCINTOSH
Aquatic Surfaces Specialist, Super Surfaces Pty Ltd, Queensland, Australia
At Ras Tanura, a housing project for senior and expatriate employees and their families, we installed PolySoft in two splash parks at either end of the eight-kilometre-long development. The architect specified PolySoft from the start, because of its safety features.
Having a product that doesn’t burn kids’ feet when they’re playing is very important.
The managing director, Ophelia Zhu, is very responsive to enquiries, and the company provided valuable training and clear instructions on how to lay the surfaces. We have a great relationship with PolySoft, which helps us carry out our work efficiently and to the highest standard.
NABIL RASHIDI
Managing Director, PremierQ, Kingdom of Bahrain
Safety was the resort’s first priority and, unsurprisingly, enduring quality was also among Bvlgari’s specifications.
The rounded granules give a premium look to the site.
The hotel’s managers are very happy with the way PolySoft colours maintain their polish, complementing the overall design values of the Bvlgari group, while providing a safe haven for their most valued guests.
SYED WAJID
Director, Tanseeq projects, UAE
The surface is firm and consistent, and at the same time provides good impact absorption.
The colours are very attractive, and the resistance to fading is one of the best we’ve used in playground surfacing.
