The Benefits of Jigsaw Mats for Schools: Safe, Versatile, and Built to Last
When it comes to creating safe and engaging spaces for learning, activity, and play, flooring matters more than most people realise. Whether in classrooms, gymnasiums, multipurpose halls, or sensory areas, schools need surfaces that are not only practical but also safe, easy to maintain, and versatile. That’s where jigsaw mats shine.
At Southern Cross Mats, we supply high-quality jigsaw mats to schools across Australia. These mats provide a durable, shock-absorbing, and flexible flooring solution perfect for a wide range of educational settings—from PE classes and martial arts programs to early learning centres and quiet zones.
What Are Jigsaw Mats?
Jigsaw mats are interlocking EVA foam tiles that fit together like a puzzle. They create a seamless and cushioned surface that’s both comfortable and safe for students of all ages. Their modular nature allows for quick installation, easy reconfiguration, and convenient storage.
