Getting ready for installation
•
Store rubber-tiles protected under the black plastic sheet (delivery packing) until
installation can be started.
•
Store adhesives in temperatures above 10 C and below 30 C Temperature for installation
should not be below 10 C and not above 40 C
•
No moisture should be present at any time during and at least 12 hours after installation. If
there is the chance of rain (or similar) after the installation, make sure to cover installed
area with suitable protective plastics.
•
Lay out all tiles for work starting the next day. Allow tiles to equalize to ambient
temperature.
Installing Rubber Tiles
Any Playground-Equipment or poles (goals, basketball-poles) should be in place prior to
installation of rubber tiles. The sub-surface should be properly prepared.
A. Installing on bound grounds (cement or asphalt) by „Total glue down"
This method is recommended by the manufacturer
Draw a chalk line on 2 sides of your area, leaving an „L"-shape. Leave appropriate space if you
consider using bevelled edges (ramps).
Turn over the first tile with 2 people, so that you face the underside of the tile. This is either the
feet structure (egg-cartonstructure) or a structure with water drainage channels. No heavy weights
are needed on the tiles. The weight of the tile itself is sufficient for the bonding process.
Use glue 1174 and put glue on at least 60% of the „feet" or on 60% of the fields. The corners and
the middle of the tiles are the most important spots. Remove any spills of glue immediately with a
scraper. Dried glue is almost impossible to remove. The amount of glue needed is app. 400 gr. /
m² with PU1174 for „total glue down" and / or app. 30 gr. / running meter when gluing side to side
with PU OC500 (formerly SH100).
Lift tile carefully, turn over and lay in the corner of your marked „L".
If you want to glue the sides of the tiles as well (gives extra strength) use a caulk gun and use
glue OC500 (formerly SH100). Carefully apply glue app. 1 cm under the surface of the tile. Only
apply glue to sides, where you are going to place the following tile shortly. When you squeeze one
tile to the next, make sure, that no grey PU-OC500 (formerly SH100) is squeezed on the top of the
tile. If so, remove with a scraper.
Work along one of your chalk lines, then start the next row. Make sure, that all tiles are aligned.
Pushing one tile against the next might result in disalignment, that needs to be corrected
immediately.
Working around poles / playground equipment is easy. Simply cut a straight line into the tile, cut
he correct diameter of your pole and putt he tile in place by twisting the gap open and closing it
around your pole.
When all tiles have been laid, bevelled edges can be installed.
