Design, Installation and Aftercare

Melcourt offers extensive advice on design, installation and aftercare using products from our Play Range, together with up to-date information on many contractual and standards issues regarding play areas.

To comply with BS EN 1176, the LIAS used must be installed to a layer thickness of 100mm more than that found by laboratory testing to be necessary to achieve the required critical fall height.

While we are happy to provide general guidance, customers are responsible for ensuring compliance with all current legislation, standards and best practice relating to the installation of safety surfaces in children’s play areas, especially in public or high-risk environments.
