What is Playground EWF (Engineered Wood Fiber)?

Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) is a premium, loose-fill playground safety surfacing material made from uniformly processed wood. It is specifically engineered to meet critical fall height protection standards (ASTM F1292) while providing an accessible, natural, and cost-effective solution for public play areas.

3 Critical Playground Safety & Budget Problems You Face

As a facilities manager, your playground is a liability and a major budget line. Here are the common pain points:

  • High Injury Risk & Non-Compliance: Surfaces that don't meet ASTM F1292 standards for critical fall height increase injury risk and expose you to lawsuits.
  • Exorbitant Surfacing Costs: Rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces can cost 2-3x more than EWF for initial installation, blowing your capital budget.
  • Poor Accessibility & Maintenance Headaches: Uneven, compacted surfaces fail ADA accessibility guidelines. Constant raking and top-up requirements drain operational budgets.
  • Unreliable Supply & Slow Delivery: Delays from suppliers cause project setbacks, extending downtime and frustrating stakeholders.
  • Inconsistent Quality & Short Lifespan: Non-engineered wood chips degrade quickly, contain contaminants, and fail safety audits, requiring premature replacement.
