When planning the outdoor learning spaces of a local early childhood centre, a decking material that prioritised child safety and long-term durability was a must. Timber had been considered, but frequent maintenance cycles created both health and safety risks, particularly around high-use play areas and wet zones.
BiForm FORM 130 Solid Composite Decking was specified for its splinter-free, slip-resistant (R11) surface and concealed clip system, which eliminates exposed screws and reduces tripping hazards. The product’s Declare Red List Free certification provided further assurance that no harmful chemicals or toxins were present — an important factor for environments where children play close to the surface daily.
Made from a blend of FSC®-certified timber and recycled plastic, BiForm also aligned with the centre’s sustainability goals while delivering a consistent, low-maintenance finish that doesn’t require oiling or staining.
Installed around sandpits, grass, and shaded areas, the system provided a durable, non-toxic, and easy-to-clean surface suitable for year-round use. Staff noted faster cleaning times and no downtime for maintenance, while parents appreciated the sustainable, safe design.
It was important that the decking solution was safe for children and kind to the environment. BiForm delivers both.
