What are EVA Foam Flooring Tiles?
EVA foam tiles are premium child safety play tiles made from an elite grade EVA foam. They are used to protect children from slips and falls as well as providing a cushioned surface for potential accidents.
The tiles are available in 2 thicknesses and come in reversible dual colours so you can switch the tile around for a different look.
One of the best things about EVA tiles is that they have a puzzle design. This means each tile is pre cut so that the profile slots into the neighbouring tile for easy installation, similar to a jigsaw puzzle. With this easy installation and a lightweight construction, the tiles can easily be reconfigured and adapted to suit your own room requirements.
Benefits of EVA Foam Flooring
There are tons of benefits to installing this type of flooring, especially for kids’ play rooms, whether it's a play space at home or within a childcare facility such as a nursery or soft play.
Here are just a few of the advantages of EVA play tiles:
Increased Safety
Kids tend to tumble and trip during playtime. That’s why EVA Tiles can be such a great addition to any playroom. They cushion trips and falls preventing injury and making sure your child has a soft landing. Plus, with a tatami textured top, they’re non-slip, which means they’ll help avoid accidents from occurring in the first place.
High Comfort
Standing or kneeling on hardwood or traditional tile flooring can be hard on your body. EVA Tiles are soft and kind to the feet and knees, preventing friction burn and stress on the joints and ligaments. This means kid's can enjoy playing for longer without discomfort or fatigue.
Foam Mats are Easy to Clean
Carpets and rugs simply can’t stand up to the average toddler. Paint, juice, and anything else in between causes stains and discolouration which can be difficult to remove. EVA Tiles, on the other hand, are easy to keep clean since they won’t absorb liquid. All they require is a quick wipe down after use.
Add Colour & Vibrancy
EVA Tiles are available to purchase in bright reversible colours or a variety of colourful mono colours. This makes them a perfect addition to any nursery or playroom, helping to create a stimulating and fun environment that young children will enjoy.
Eva Play Matting is Easy To Install
EVA Tiles come in a jigsaw shape, which means they slot into shape without a complicated installation process. This is also handy if you want to move the mats around or change the layout of your room.
Customer Insight:
"I used a little bit of glue under my mats as I wanted a permanent floor cover. The room is so snug and comfortable now for our little ones. The mats were a dream to install and they feel robust and good quality. Very happy with these."
Durable
It can be challenging to find flooring solutions that won’t get scuffed or roughed up during activities and playtime. Fortunately, EVA Tiles are very resistant to wear and tear. They’ll even stand up to repetitive impact, remaining resilient even under the most intense play activities.
Floor Protection
Certain types of floor materials such as hardwood flooring, laminate and vinyl can take a bit of a beating with active children. EVA foam mats provide a layer of protection against scuffs, scratches and spillages helping to keep your home flooring in good condition.
Foam Mats Reduce Sound
Children can get pretty noisy during play but EVA Tiles can help soften the transfer of sound. These tiles have insulation properties, which means that they will help muffle sounds from bouncy play. So even if your playroom is on an upper level, you’ll be less likely to hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet running around when you’re below them.
Good Insulator
EVA Tiles can help insulate against more than just noise. They’re great for the cold too. So if your home gets chilly in the winter, they’ll help keep your children’s tiny feet warm. No need to crank up the heat with foam matting that helps to insulate draughty rooms and eliminate cool floors.
