WillPlay’s timber-look materials designed for school playgrounds marry the classic charm of timber with the strength of more robust materials.
Playgrounds are a cornerstone of childhood experiences at school, fostering physical, cognitive, and social skills. Selecting the right material for these spaces is crucial for schools aiming to provide a durable, safe, and visually appealing playground.
The magic of timber-look aluminium
Imagine combining the charming aesthetics of timber with the sturdiness of marine-grade aluminium—it’s now possible with WillPlay’s timber-look aluminium posts and battens.
Crafted to resist decay, weathering, and splintering, these components lend an enduring strength to playgrounds in versatile climates—including challenging coastal conditions.
Key Benefits:
- Strength and lightness: Aluminium is lighter, stronger, and straighter than real wood, making building efficient and preventing warping over time.
- Environmental responsibility: Aluminium is 100% recyclable with free VOC coatings and lead-free finishes, meaning a smaller environmental footprint for your school.
- Fire, pest, and corrosion resistance: Aluminium is non-combustible, impervious to insects, and offers excellent corrosion protection—an ideal material for any school environment.
- Practicality: Its non-porous nature ensures aluminium doesn’t swell, grow mould or mildew when exposed to harsh conditions, thus requiring minimal maintenance.
Composite wood panels: the future of playground material
WillPlay’s composite wood panels are a superb alternative for schools that love the beauty of natural wood but require a more enduring solution.
Designed to resist decay, pests, and moisture, these panels mimic the warmth and texture of timber while being almost maintenance-free.
Key Benefits:
- Aesthetic versatility: available in different colours, these panels can accommodate diverse design needs while maintaining the warm timber aesthetic.
- Environmental sustainability: made from recycled materials, composite wood panels not only stand the test of time but also reduce landfill waste.
- Safety: their high resistance to slipping makes the panels especially safe for children, even in damp environments.
