About Rubber Tiles and Mats

Interlocking safety surfaces for play areas of any size

Interlocking rubber tiles come in many colors and thicknesses and install quickly on a firm, flat base. They are good for smaller play areas, under swings and in places where loose fill would scatter.

We prepare the base, lay tiles to pattern, trim edges neatly and add borders where needed.

Call 615-357-7797

Are rubber tiles good under swings?

They can be, with the right thickness. We recommend what fits your equipment and fall height.

Do tiles shift?

Interlocking tiles on a good base stay in place. We prepare the base carefully.

Can tiles go on a deck?

Often yes on firm, flat surfaces. We check the surface first.
