Engineered wood fiber — what is it? Engineered wood fiber is an organic play surfacing. It is ground more finely than wood chips, having a consistency somewhere between woodchips and
sawdust.
Where do we deliver wood fiber? Our company delivers engineered wood fiber in bulk quantities to your premises, anywhere in the U.S.A. Our extensive supply network reaches all contiguous
48 states.
Why use engineered wood fiber? Because wood fiber has high-impact absorbing qualities, yet it’s also economical. And engineered wood fiber packs down into a firm surface, and it’s slip
resistant. When engineered wood fiber is properly installed, wheelchairs and strollers can cross over it. For this reason, it’s considered compliant with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) — unlike wood chips, pea gravel, and sand.
