Playground-grade shock pads, specified to fall height.
ProGame® shock pads are the cushioned safety layer beneath the turf, turning a hard slab into a soft place to land. Specified to critical fall height for playgrounds, childcare centres and sports areas, they lay straight over concrete with no harmful chemicals.
A soft place to land
Laid directly beneath Namgrass turf, a shock pad absorbs impact and gives a softer, more natural feel underfoot. For play areas it provides certified critical-fall-height protection, so a tumble lands gently, even over a concrete base.
Which pad does your equipment need?
Enter the equipment's free height of fall and we'll show the thinnest ProGame® build-up tested to protect it, to EN 1177.
CFH must clear the fall height with headroom. Indicative tiers — certified figures confirmed on site to EN 1177.
Get this spec confirmedSizing guide only, not a compliance certificate. Certified CFH is valid for the complete tested build-up (pad grade + thickness + turf) and must be confirmed on site.
Features & specifications.
- Available in various thicknesses, specified to the equipment's fall height.
- Laid directly beneath Namgrass turf to absorb impact and create a safe play surface.
- Certified material source with no harmful chemicals.
- Resistant to all weather conditions.
- Lays straight over solid bases like concrete, a soft landing without digging up the hard surface.
Why the pad, not the grass, keeps children safe
Artificial grass on its own is a surface, not a safety system. What protects a child who falls from a slide or climbing frame is the critical fall height (CFH) of the layer underneath — the maximum height from which a fall onto that surface is unlikely to cause a serious head injury. The taller the equipment, the thicker the shock pad it needs. A pad rated for a 1.5 m platform is not enough beneath a 2.5 m tower; specifying the right thickness for each piece of equipment is the whole job.
Impact-attenuation surfacing for playgrounds is measured to the European standard EN 1177, the same framework used to certify safety on public play areas. ProGame® shock pads are supplied in graded thicknesses tested against fall height, so a childcare rooftop, a school play mound or a home play lawn each gets a build-up matched to its equipment rather than a one-size guess. Paired with EN 71-3 toy-safe playground turf, the result is a surface that is soft, certified and drains fast after rain.
Because a pad lays straight over concrete, most Singapore installs — HDB decks, condo rooftops, existing hard courts — need no excavation. We measure the fall height of every item on site, specify the pad, and install turf and pad as one accountable system under a single 10-year warranty.
