The Vision
Old Buckenham Hall School wanted to revitalise their playground by introducing bold, colourful, and safe wet-pour surfacing. The aim was to create a visually engaging play space that would encourage creative, active, and free play while ensuring high safety standards.
The Solution
Caloo supplied and installed high-performance wet-pour surfacing, providing impact absorption, durability, and vibrant aesthetics. The surfacing was constructed using:
- A base layer of recycled tyre rubber, ensuring sustainability and shock absorption.
- A coloured top layer of finer rubber granules, creating a bright, engaging play area.
- Compliance with BS EN 1177:2008 safety standards, guaranteeing maximum safety performance.
The Impact
The new playground has been a stunning transformation, creating an exciting and engaging environment for students.
- Vibrant rainbows and colourful dots encourage imaginative and free play.
- The soft, impact-absorbing surface provides a safe space for children of all age groups.
- Durability and long-term cost-effectiveness ensure the school benefits from a low-maintenance, high-performance play area for years to come.
Pupils returned after the holidays delighted to run, jump, and play on their newly transformed playground, making it a joyful and inspiring space for all.
