ENTER U N TA RY <br /> RU BBER SU RFAC B <br /> Rubber Tiles and Poured- <br /> in-Place (PIP) Surfaces <br /> In 2000, the Architectural and Transportation — <br /> Barriers Compliance Board issued accessibility " <br /> guidelines for new construction and alterations <br /> of play areas as part of the Americans w th <br /> Disabilities Act(ADA). These guidelines w Ere <br /> adopted into law in 2010 and as of March 15, <br /> 2011, all play areas ware mandated to be in +fit <br /> compliance with these guidelines. <br /> As playgrounds strove to be more inclusive to <br /> children and adults with mobility restrictions, <br /> playground surface options had to evolve yet <br /> again. The loose-fill materials such as pea gravel <br /> and wood-based materials or rubber mulch do <br /> not provide easy accessibility, so the next step <br /> in surface evolution required firmer materials <br /> that are more easily accessible by wheelchairs <br /> and other mobility equipment. The solution was <br /> unitary rubber surfaces such as rubber tiles, <br /> bonded rubber and poured-in-place(PIP) y� <br /> rubber surfaces. <br /> r41 <br /> 10 <br /> ` `=r - �?'• � 14 <br /> 46 <br /> QVN[�G ��. r <br /> moo/ <br /> VIIIgUIII\/rluglilulVirM � ` �t <br /> IL 111111l�� <br />
