PlayGuard leads the modular playground surfacing industry with patented technology for unparalleled durability in heavy traffic areas. Specifically designed to meet fall ratings for play applications, PlayGuard's footed tiles feature unsurpassed versatility and easy adhesive-free installation. They are created by molding a colorful wear layer to a footed tile, both manufactured from recycled rubber in the U.S.A. For unique and vibrant designs that last for years, the modular tiles feature 22 standard color patterns and can offer custom design capabilities.

PlayGuard Safety Surfacing, manufactured by ECORE International, announces the addition of a 1" thick tile to its existing collection of playground surfacing tiles. PlayGuard's 1" tile expands the Carnival Ultra and Safari Ultra product lines of 2-1/2" and 4-1/4" thick tiles. Low maintenance, wet and dry slip resistance, and high durability make these 1" tiles ideal for daycare applications, tumbling rooms, and tricycle paths.

On June 1, 2011, PlayGuard Playground Safety Surfacing says goodbye to its old logo in favor of a more modern and playful one. The new logo is fresh, fun, and cheerful. PlayGuard has been protecting children for more than 15 years and the logo has grown and changed with each new generation.

The updated logo features child-like and joyful PlayGuard letters dancing while the phrase "Safety Surfacing" is still solid and reliable below. The color palette will have several versions, each with bright, youth inspired colors. The new logo coincides with the recent expansion of the PlayGuard line to include 1" tiles.
