Installation
Installation of our Safety Tiles is relatively straight forward should domestic customers decide not to use a professional installer. Below are some guidelines as to how to go about it. Please note our Wet Pour products must be installed by a professional, please contact us here to arrange a Wet Pour installation.
For outdoor applications there are two ways in which your rubber tiles can be installed. Where a good, level sub-base is already in place tiles can be Surface Mounted. This method involes using ramped tiles at the edges and corners to avoid a trip hazard and to ease accessibility to wheel chairs.
Surface Mounted
Alternatively the tiles can be Flush Mounted to meet the level of the surrounding area.
Flush Mounted
- Allow for finished levels to the same as existing ground levels where possible
- Overall area of groundwork to be flat and level
- Where the area of groundwork must be installed on an incline, the slope must not exceed 1:10
- To comply with the European Standard, the internal measurements of the surfacing must extend to a minimum of 1.50m beyond any extremity of the playground equipment
- Excavation to a minimum of 150mm plus the proposed overall depth of safety tiles
- PCC edging 900mm x 150mm (post formed) to be installed in straight lines and at an even plane, bedded and hauched with 100mm class E concrete. (Rounded edge to outside)
- Lay minimum 75mm depth of compacted M.O.T. type one stone, to a finished level not exceeding plus or minus 8mm in any direction under a 3 metre straight edge
- The compacted stone level to finish below the top line of PCC edging to allow for the exact thickness of rubber safety tiles and 75mm of concrete oversite
