Rubber tiles are a versatile and safe choice for a variety of applications, providing a comfortable and durable environment for outdoor and indoor activities.

What are rubber tiles?

Rubber tiles are obtained in two different ways: EPDM rubber tiles and SBR rubber tiles. SBR (styrene-butadiene) material makes up more than 50% of the rubber produced worldwide and is much more accessible compared to other rubber materials. Customer preferences vary depending on the usage area, and SBR rubber flooring material is preferred, especially in outdoor areas.

How are rubber tiles installed and maintained?

1. Check the surface: Rubber pavers can be installed on various surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, cement, sand, gravel, or soil. Ensure that the surface on which you will install the rubber tiles is even, without major irregularities or holes.
2. Compact and level the surface: To achieve proper installation and a stable surface, it is essential to compact and level the surface where you will install the rubber tiles.
3. Ensure water drainage: When installing on a concrete base, ensure a drainage slope of 1-2% to allow efficient water drainage.
4. Installation itself: Installing rubber tiles is straightforward, simply arrange them in the desired configuration. Pay special attention to the positioning of the first tiles, as they will influence the arrangement of successive elements and the overall appearance of the work.
5. Wash the tiles: It is recommended to wash rubber pavers with a water hose to remove dust and debris. If using a pressure washer, make sure the pneumatic nozzle is held at least 30 cm away from the rubber tiles to avoid damaging them.
6. Tile maintenance: For rubber tile maintenance, you can use a soft brush or broom for regular cleaning. In case of stains, use a damp cloth and a little soapy water to remove them.
7. Side locking: It is mandatory to provide side locking at the installation boundary to ensure a solid and uniform fixation of the rubber tiles.
