Fibar Engineered Wood Fiber


The gold standard of the playground safety surfacing industry
for bulk use and top-offs.

 

Fibar Engineered Wood Fiber

It’s no accident that over 50,000 playgrounds in the U.S. and Canada are surfaced with Fibar Engineered Wood Fiber. It is designed and tested to be a superior product with long-term, trouble-free performance:

* Superior raw material. Fibar EWF is made from 100% virgin wood fiber, not used wood, which may contain things you don’t want in your playground (see Certificate of Purity below).

* Superior testing and verification. Fibar EWF is tested regularly to make sure it complies with all relevant ASTM standards: F1292 for impact absorption, F2075 for material purity, and F1951 for wheelchair access. In addition, the testing is independently verified by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA).

* Superior performance. Unlike some other brands, Fibar EWF is carefully controlled as to type and size of wood fibers. This means that the fibers knit together to provide a surface springy enough to cushion falls, yet firm enough for wheelchairs. Another advantage: Rain water passes through, so kids can play right after it rains. Finally, it simply looks good. The varied colors of natural wood please the eye and blend in with any kind of setting.

* Superior support. Over the past 25 years, Fibar has become the world leader in playground surfacing. We’ve learned the ins and outs of how to produce and deliver Engineered Wood Fiber in a way that means peace of mind for specifiers and buyers alike. We stand ready to assure your complete satisfaction with every delivery.

 

When installing your playground with bulk Fibar Engineered Wood Fiber, we strongly recommend proper drainage and FibarMat wear mats.

Fibar Playground Top-offs

To minimize serious injuries from falls on your playground, it is essential that your Fibar playground surface be topped off periodically. Topping off your FibarSystems play surface provides children with the protection they deserve, and it protects your investment in safe play. Maintaining the correct surface depth is an essential condition.
See FibarSystems | Maintenance for details.

Experience has shown us that Fibar installations typically require top-offs after three (3) years of use (on some playgrounds, maybe sooner). Top-offs can sometimes be scheduled with other deliveries to minimize the freight cost.

 

When ordering your Fibar top-off, we strongly recommend you order FibarMat wear mats for under swings, at the base of slides and other heavy wear areas.
