What are bouncy castles made of?

December 4, 2008

Bouncy Castles are predominantly manufactured from PVC coated nylon or polyester.  The PVC is then sewn together with bonded nylon thread.  To reinforce high load and wear at the seams webbing can be added to increase the strength of the seam, this is best practice in bouncy castle manufacture.

It is important to ensure that your bouncy castle is manufactured well and engineered to the highest standards.  It is also important to only use a manufacturer who uses materials which have been certified as non-toxic and compliant to the current EN: 14960 Standard.

Air Inflatables carries certificates that cover all the components to their bouncy castles which show compliance to EN: 14960 and EN: 71.  If in doubt always ask your bouncy castle manufacturer to show their certificates of conformity to these two important standards.
