Falls are the leading cause of injury leading to hospitalisation within Australia, with those aged 75+ at the highest risk.
However, falls do not have to result in injury to negatively impact on a person’s state of wellbeing, as even small falls can create a sense of fear and impact confidence when out and about.
It has been shown that this fear can lead to a reduced activity level, which impairs strength, stability, balance and coordination, and can increase the risk of serious falls and injury.
Key to keeping older people active and thriving is a sense of safety and
independence, and their surrounding environment plays a vital role in this
confidence and security.
Introducing Ausplay’s SureWalk Surfacing
Ausplay’s SureWalk Surfacing can help in creating safe and attractive spaces in both new and existing settings. SureWalk is a highly durable, flexible rubber system that can be installed over existing concrete pathways or on its own, both indoors and outdoors.
The beauty of a flexible system is that it is installed seamlessly on site and can be laid in a variety of thicknesses to cover and remove trip hazards in an existing surface. This makes it perfect for renovation projects.
Due to its flexible and permeable nature, SureWalk can create quick, safe pathways in landscape areas where it may be difficult or inappropriate to use other, hardscape materials, such as concrete. It can be installed around trees, roots, or other obstructions, making it a versatile solution for various environments.
Available in a wide range of colours, SureWalk is available as both a recycled product (CSBR) or a full colour, raw material (EPDM).
Strategic colour placement can both revitalise a space and create visual identification between areas for additional safety.
