Product Overview
Value Proposition
Sofscape Pavers are ideal for use in sidewalks, recreational and playground areas. The surfacing in new or any existing playground areas represent a critical component. Since close to 75% of playground accidents occur from falls. The use of proper surfacing must be taken very seriously.
In addition, proper access to persons with any type of physical or mental challenges requires a proper flooring. Not all products comply with the requirements of the A.D.A. (Americans with Disabilities Act).
Other surfacing products like sand, stones, and mulch can hide dangerous objects such as syringes, broken glass pieces, and needles. In addition, wood chip or mulch can become an ideal environment for fungus, which can cause health problems in children.
