Where and what is rubber tile used for?

Bruis­es and frac­tures are a direct con­se­quence of the fact that chil­dren and adults go in for sports in areas paved with FEMs (shaped paving ele­ments) or rolled up with asphalt and fenced with con­crete curbs. Rub­ber tiles reduce the chance of injury from falls on hard and uneven ground. Play­grounds and recre­ation areas in pri­vate homes are becom­ing much safer.

The main advantages of rubber tiles

What are the rea­sons why rub­ber tile has soared to a high lev­el in the rank­ing of build­ing mate­ri­als in the short­est pos­si­ble time? Here are its unde­ni­able advan­tages:

• High wear resis­tance. The tile is not erased, does not chip off, is not dam­aged by heavy sol­id objects falling on it.
• The appear­ance of the coat­ing does not change from many years of use in pub­lic places, such as play­grounds or at the entrances to super­mar­kets. For exam­ple, the Ecoresin tile has a 10-year guar­an­tee for out­door use in places with a large human flow.
• Water resis­tance. The tile is not afraid of pre­cip­i­ta­tion, it can be used not only on the streets, but also by the pools, both out­doors and indoors.
• Anti-slip sur­face. Ice does not form on rub­ber tiles, the rough sur­face pre­vents slip­ping.
• Depre­ci­a­tion. The rub­ber tile springs a lit­tle, weak­en­ing blows against it and, there­by, pre­vent­ing or mit­i­gat­ing injuries.
• Sim­ple care. It is enough to wash rub­ber tiles reg­u­lar­ly with a jet of water from a hose. No addi­tion­al reagents or clean­ing agents are required.
• resis­tance to nat­ur­al fac­tors. The mate­r­i­al is not afraid of solar ultra­vi­o­let radi­a­tion, atmos­pher­ic pre­cip­i­ta­tion, does not grow moldy.
• Diverse design. There are many options for col­or­ing and geo­met­ric shapes of rub­ber tiles.

When should rubber tiles not be used?

Rub­ber tiles are not fire resis­tant and may even ignite. There­fore, it can­not be mount­ed near bar­be­cues, stoves, fire­places and tan­doors. Any ember will burn through it and can lead to a fire. Many sam­ples of rub­ber tiles have a fire haz­ard class KM4. This means that the sub­stance is flam­ma­ble and may release tox­ic sub­stances when burned. There­fore, the use of rub­ber tiles is pos­si­ble and per­mis­si­ble only with the strictest obser­vance of fire safe­ty rules.

Step by step instructions for laying rubber tiles

Installation requirements

Rub­ber tiles can be laid on con­crete, asphalt con­crete, asphalt, cement-con­crete screed, ceram­ic tiles, porce­lain stoneware, met­al, sand and grav­el base, com­pact­ed soil, wood­en floor­ing. Instal­la­tion is car­ried out only at an ambi­ent tem­per­a­ture above +10°C.

Tools and materials

Instal­la­tion of rub­ber tiles is sim­ple, you can do the work your­self. To do this, you need sim­ple tools:

• Roulette for mark­ing;
• Build­ing lev­el to set the rec­om­mend­ed slope of the site;
• Shov­el for dig­ging soil under the base;
• Man­u­al roller or vibrat­ing plate for com­pact­ing sand and grav­el;
• Knife for cut­ting tiles;
• Rub­ber mal­let for tamp­ing tiles and remov­ing air from under them.

Surface preparation

The site for mount­ing the rub­ber tile must be marked and all debris removed. If lay­ing on the ground is planned, then the roots of the plants must also be removed, and then gen­er­ous­ly treat­ed with her­bi­cides. The site needs a slope of about 2 degrees for water flow.

Laying

On the ground

1. For lay­ing on the ground, tiles with a thick­ness of 40 mm or more are used, such mod­els, for exam­ple, are enough in the cat­a­log of the Ecoresina com­pa­ny.
2. First, a recess is made up to 200 mm deep with sides at a right angle. The bot­tom is lev­eled and com­pact­ed with vibrat­ing plates.
3. Rub­ber bor­ders are placed around the perime­ter. The site is cov­ered with geo­fab­ric and cov­ered with crushed stone of the small­est frac­tion. For a sports ground, the lay­er thick­ness is 100 mm, for a gar­den path — 70 mm. Crushed stone is also com­pact­ed with a hand roller or vibrat­ing plate.
4. The geo­fab­ric is spread again and a lay­er of sand up to 70 mm thick is laid — sand that is care­ful­ly com­pact­ed. The slope of the hor­i­zon­tal sur­face is con­trolled by the build­ing lev­el.
5. The first row of tiles is laid close to the rub­ber curb. The next row is placed with a shift of half the width of the tile so that the seams do not match. By blows of a rub­ber ham­mer, air is removed from under the tiles. After the site is com­plete­ly paved, it is sprin­kled with fine sand and swept, try­ing to fill any gaps. The final stage is the last ram­ming with a vibrat­ing plate.

On the sand

1. Before lay­ing on a loose base, a con­crete screed 100 mm thick must be poured into the bot­tom of the exca­vat­ed recess.
2. Then rub­ber curbs are installed, the result­ing sur­face is primed with a mix­ture of polyurethane adhe­sive and rub­ber crumb.
3. After dry­ing, the tile itself is glued.

On a solid base without glue

Instal­la­tion of rub­ber tiles with a thick­ness of more than 40 mm on a sol­id base is pos­si­ble with­out glue. Since one 500x500 mm mod­ule weighs at least 7 kg, the tile will stay in place due to its own weight, restric­tive rub­ber bor­ders, fric­tion forces between the tile and the base. But instal­la­tion must be car­ried out with­out gaps.
