Rubber tiles as an alternative to porcelain stoneware tiles and paving

rubber tile, what are its advantages?

accepted that for tiling children playgrounds, walkways and other areas best suited concrete pavement, pavement or tiles (granite).However, for some time now it began to be used as tiles made of rubber crumbs.What are its advantages?And why it began to choose to finish?

• Firstly, this material is easy to care .Sometimes, tiles quite flush with water from a hose, and it already looks like new.
• Secondly, it has sufficient strength and durability , does not crumble, does not break over time.The term of its operation can be up to ten years.
• Thirdly, has a high resistance to temperature differential .That is why it is often used in harsh environments.
• Fourthly, material is anti-pinch type , since the anti-slip.
• Fifth, has sufficient elasticity and good orthopedic characteristics , it is therefore often used rubber tiles for playgrounds.
• Sixthly, variety of colors and shapes allows you to select any tile design.The advantage is also the fact that its color tone does not fade with time.
• Seventh, easily dismantled .No need to call professionals for repair.

Rubber tile: scope

Rubber tile is available in many shapes and sizes, so it can be used in completely different areas.For example, it may be a typical square shape, "coil", "spider", "brick", "wave" (like paving).Apply it for playgrounds and sports grounds, the area around the pool, for the decoration of garden paths, terraces, porch, steps, when creating a zone of golf courses and many other places.

As already mentioned, the tile has a shock-absorbing characteristics, so the probability of getting bruises and injuries is minimal.Steps and ladders often is faced with this material, as it provides excellent anti-slip properties.And even in the stable it is widely used, so there is no dust and dirt, which often comes from the cement and so harmful to the animals.Plus, the tile has a noise-attenuating properties, because less is heard hoofbeats.

Laying

rubber tiles rubber technology laying tiles depends on the shape and thickness of the material.Tiles, having a thickness of 30-40 mm, is laid on a granular or concrete base, whether it is asphalt, concrete, cement-sand composition (ratio 3: 1), etc.Between the tiles are joined by means of plastic sleeves (typically are included).Thanks to its tile does not "move out" and firmly held on the base.On the sand cushion material is also well kept thanks to the relief side.

In that case we need more strong connection (to prevent vandalism and vandalism) joins polyurethane adhesive material.Thus, a single coating which is difficult to break even with the effort.

happens also a second type of rubber material - cobbles, with a total thickness of 15 to 30 mm.It was originally placed only on a solid concrete base with an adhesive based on polyurethane or bituminous binder.The required size and geometry can be imparted with a hacksaw or jigsaw.

Note! Prior to the laying of the material is stored in a dry place and in any case, do not wash it with any chemicals.It allowed only a damp cloth to wipe or clean water from a hose.In winter, snow is removed only a plastic shovel.

As can be seen from the above, the laying process is quite simple.No need to call experts for proper installation.All you can do with your hands.The only thing that is needed is the correct calculation of the material.For this it is important to measure the area and the received data come into the store.Depending on the size of the tiles the most sales consultants will determine the amount of material needed.
