Fall Pad 1.5

1.5 Inch Fall Pad: A balanced spec for everyday play environments

A practical underlayment option for contractors who need added cushioning and dependable safety performance on lower-to-mid fall-height projects.

When the project needs more than turf alone but does not call for the heaviest pad in the lineup, Fall Pad 1.5 gives contractors a practical middle-ground option. And because it is available through Synthetic Turf Northwest, you can source it locally, talk through the job with an experienced team, and keep the build moving without waiting on a national supplier.

Built for safer, more forgiving surfaces

Fall Pad 1.5” boosts comfort and reduces surface hardness where maximum thickness isn’t required. It creates a cleaner, more stable surface than bark or loose-fill materials.

How it performs on site

The pad layer reduces hardness underfoot but preserves drainage and system strength. Contractors get a controlled surface and fewer issues with shifting or inconsistent coverage. Cut and shape the foam during installation for custom layouts, curves, ramps, or varied play zones. This flexibility makes it easy to fit around equipment and maintain a uniform surface.
