NEW COMBITILE SPLASH PAD INSTALLATION AT COUNCIL WATER PARK
CombiTile has recently installed CombiLock® over CombiFlex® at a regional council splash pad. The council required splash pad safety and required a water management solution for this barefoot playground. Combitile was able to address Critical Fall Height standards and reduced water consumption.
CombiLock over CombiFlex provides 2.5 metres Critical Fall Height whilst the drainage cell of CombiLock reduces water loss by 30%. Playground fall height safety is a key concern of councils as is splash pad maintenance – Combitile is a long term replacement for traditional pour in place (EPDM) options which require regular replacement due to their lack of chlorine and UV resistance.
CombiTile provide a 5 year product warranty and is not reliant on adhesives. There is a global shortage of adhesives which is impacting the Aquatic and Splash Pad industry significantly.
CombiTile is a key strategic partner for inclusiveness as many splash parks are designed with a zero-depth entry, enabling people with mobility impairments to use the same entrance as other visitors. The lack of pooling water also encourages people of all ages and abilities to experience the fun.
