Installing on compacted granular subbase (crushed gravel) by „side to side gluing"
Install some kind of border (edge restraints) for the desired area size. Calculate with a tile size of
101 cm x 101 cm. So for an area of 6 x 6 tiles your border-frame should measure 6,06 m x 6,06 m
inside. Still, since rubber tiles are likely to change there dimensions, it might be necessary to cut
the tiles to match your frame.
To avoid trip hazards any frame should be installed flush with the ground.
Possible frame material: cement stones, cement curbs or a suitable wood frame (e.g. lumber) and
best suited: rubber curbs laid into fresh cement. Rubber curbs are considered the best solution
since they are flexible and allow rubber tiles to move a little bit. Make sure that all angels in the
frame measure exactly 90 degrees.
For best results, rubber tiles should also be glued to the surrounding frame.
Insert one container of PU-Glue OC500 (formerly SH100) (grey colour) into a caulk gun. Apply the
plastic nozzle. Cut the plastic nozzle app. 2 cm under the top in an angel of app. 45 degrees.
Apply the glue app. 1 cm under the surface line of the tile on 2 connecting sides.
Lay down this tile in a corner of you area with 2 persons and firmly press the two sides with glue
against your frame. Do this from outside of your area not stepping on the compacted granular
base. Apply glue to the side of your first laid tile you will be connecting next. Apply glue to one
side of your second tile (that will touch the frame). Position the second tile carefully, so that you
need to shift the tile as little as possible (so that the granular base is affected as little as possible).
Work down one side of your area. You might need to cut the last tile in this row.
Next, work along the line creating an L-shape of your area. You might need to cut the last tile in
this row. Now work on the next rows, just making sure not to step on the base.
Installation of Rubber-Curbs
To avoid trip hazards rubber-curbs should be installed flush with the surrounding ground.
Rubber-Curbs are laid into a fresh bed of cement (quality of such in accordance with local
requirements). The cement bed should measure app. 20 cm in width and 20 cm in height. Shape
the cement around the rubber-curb as shown in illustration xx. Make sure, that the cement moves
into the grooves of the curb. The adjoining edges can be glued together with PUGlue OC500
(formerly SH100) for extra strength.
