our Sof’Bond Adhesion process creates a strong
and seamless surface that will not curl, shift or allow
gaps to form between mats.
Out Shines
• Colorful – Maintains Clean Look
Its brighter, longer lasting UV resistant colors provide
superior stability and longevity. All 6 colors are the same
price. Custom colors are possible to create site-specific
designs.
• Durable
No granular surface can match the innovative design of
Sof’Shield’s non-porous, one-piece wear layer mat for
long-term durability and resistance to wear patterns.
• No Visible Scarring from Repairs
Unlike granular surfaces, Sof’Shield‘s modular design
allows repairs to be done easily. Using the Sof’Bond
Adhesion process the connection is as strong as the
original with no unsightly markings.
• Fade Resistant
The colorfast properties of Sof’Shield are superior to other
products since the UV resistant additives are built into the
wear layer. After exposure to the most extreme conditions,
there were no noticeable differences to any of the 6 colors.

"The children love the surfacing because of its "bounce" and also the bright colors"
"Staff has related how the atmosphere of the play yard changed with the bright colors of the surfacing - making it warm and inviting for children and staff"
"Staff has commented on the help the surfacing has been in differentiating the riding area from the climbing structure area where no toys or trikes are allowed making for a safer play yard. The result is the need for fewer reminders by staff to children while they are busy playing."
