Certified critical fall height
Impact tiles are independently rated to EN 1177 / ASTM F1292, and we lay the thickness that matches the fall height of the equipment above — documented, not guessed.
Safety & Sports Surfacing for Play and PE
The surface is the part of the playground that has to catch a fall — and the part of the sports area that has to take a season of studs and sprints. We specify, supply and lay certified recycled-rubber surfacing that does both, and hand you the paperwork to prove it.
Every Leka play and sports installation already promises EN 1176 / EN 1177 and ASTM fall-height compliance — this is the surface behind that promise. We pour or lay it to the critical fall height of the equipment above it, zone it by age and activity, and build in the drainage a tropical campus needs.
Key enhancements
What we deliver for school surfacing.
One surface, play and sport
The same interlocking rubber system handles playground impact zones, PE areas, ball-sport courts, running tracks and multi-use games areas — so the whole site reads as one considered surface.
Recycled and water-permeable
Made from recycled rubber granulate and engineered to drain straight through — no puddles after a monsoon downpour, and a sustainability line the school can put in its newsletter.
Design freedom built in
Mix colours to mark out pitches, lanes, hopscotch and learning zones straight into the surface — wayfinding and play value cast into the floor, not painted on top.
Inclusive and flush
A continuous, joint-free finish with bevelled edge ramps means wheelchairs, walking frames and unsteady little feet cross it easily — keeping play and PE inclusive for SEND learners.
Fast, low-disruption install
Interlocking tiles lay quickly over a prepared base, scheduled into holiday or weekend windows, and individual tiles lift out for repair without redoing the whole area.
Key products
The Gum-tech surfacing we specify for schools.
We lead with the Puzzle Mat 3D interlocking range — certified fall-protection that doubles as a ball-sports and MUGA surface. Thickness sets the critical fall height; colour sets the court. Every product links through to its page on Leka Catalogs.
Why choose us
Why schools surface with Leka and Gum-tech.
Compliance documented
EN 1176 / EN 1177 and ASTM fall-height data filed for your inspection team — the surface is signed off, not just laid.
Specified to the equipment
We match tile thickness to the critical fall height of every structure on site, so the protection is real where it matters.
Climate-tested
UV-stable, water-permeable and built for full sun and monsoon — surfacing that lasts the Asian school year, not just the warranty.
Supplied and installed by Leka
One accountable partner specs the system, lays it into your term breaks, and hands over a surface ready for day one.
Education FAQ
Common questions for this scope.
How is the fall-height rating decided?
By the equipment, not the tile. We take the free-fall height of each structure and lay the tile thickness independently certified to that critical fall height under EN 1177 / ASTM F1292 — and give you the test data for your records.
Can one surface do both playground and sports?
Yes — the Puzzle Mat 3D interlocking system is used for both certified playground impact zones and ball-sport courts / MUGAs. We zone and colour it per activity so the whole site stays coherent.
Does it drain in the monsoon?
The tiles are water-permeable recycled rubber laid over a free-draining base, so surface water passes straight through — no puddles, and the area is usable again quickly after rain.
Is it inclusive for wheelchair users and SEND learners?
Yes — it lays flush and continuous with bevelled edge ramps at every transition, so wheelchairs and walking frames roll across it and the play and PE areas stay inclusive.
How disruptive is installation?
Interlocking tiles lay fast over a prepared base, so we schedule the work into holiday or weekend windows. Individual tiles also lift out for repair without redoing the whole surface.
