3. Product Description

BASIC USE

DuraPaver™ is designed for golf facilities, patios, high traffic areas and walkways.

DuraTile™ is designed for terraces and roof decks, golf facilities, patios, high traffic areas, free weight and dumbbell areas.

DuraTile and DuraPaver are installed over all types of roofing systems, poured asphalt or concrete substrate. Thicker versions can be installed over a crushed stone substrate. Product may be used indoors or outdoors.

The product line features a range of standard tile designs and accessory pieces.

COMPOSITION & MATERIALS

DuraTile and DuraPaver units consist of a blend of 100% post-consumer recycled SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) and pigmented polyurethane. The products feature single density construction with flat bottom (DuraPaver) and flat bottom or drainage channel options (DuraTile). Both products have solid sides, which allow maximum contact from piece-to-piece for side adhesion, which is popular on rooftops, terraces and decks, as well as temporary installations. When fully adhering product’s bottom to base, both flat bottom and drainage channel design provide excellent surface contact.

Accessories include beveled edge pieces.

LIMITATIONS

The following chemicals may cause damage to the surface and should be avoided: disinfectants, concentrated chlorine bleach, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic and lubricating oils, acids and organic solvents.

These products are not suitable for extremely high abuse service environments such as those for vehicular traffic, rolling or sliding machinery or similar uses.

Due to the elastic characteristics of rubber, some variation in tile dimensions may be expected. This amount is approximately -3/64" (1 mm) to 3/32" (2 mm) in thickness and +/- 3/32" (2 mm) in length and width.

5. Installation

PREPARATORY WORK

Store materials protected from exposure to harmful environmental conditions and at a minimum temperature of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) and a maximum temperature of 100 degrees F (38 degrees C). Install surfacing system when minimum ambient temperature is 40 degrees F (1 degree C) and maximum ambient temperature is 90 degrees F (32 degrees C).

Do not proceed with floor surface installation until all applicable site work, including substrate preparation, fencing, equipment installation and other relevant work, has been completed. Verify that substrate conditions are suitable for installation of the surfacing system, and do not proceed with installation until unsuitable conditions are corrected.

METHODS

General

• DuraTiles are recommended to be laid in a quarter-length, staggered pattern. May also be installed straight

• Maintain a straight line at all tile joints

• Outdoors, DuraTile 5/8" (15 mm) and DuraPaver 7/8" (21 mm) must be installed with adhesive DuraTile 1 1/4" (30 mm) and 1 3/4" (43 mm) may be 100% adhered or adhered side to side outdoors

• Indoors, all thicknesses may be loose laid, adhered side to side or 100% adhered

• Use PlayGrip Adhesive where adhesive application is required

• For full adhesive installation, apply adhesive on tight asphalt or concrete at a rate of approximately 65 ft2/gal (1.63 m2/L). Adhesive consumption will increase as asphalt porosity increases

• Apply adhesive to the base using a notched trowel. Apply adhesive to tile sides using a putty knife, roller or adhesive from a tube

• For DuraTile, when adhering side-to-side, adhesive should be applied to approximately 60 perimeter inches (1524 mm) of the total 120 perimeter inches (3048 mm) of the tile to allow for rainwater drainage

• For side-to-side bonding with DuraPaver, adhere ends of the paver units

Installation Where Beveled Edges Are NOT Required:

1. Assume the abutting curb, fence or wall is not perfectly straight.

2. At any one of the 4 sides of the installation area, snap chalk line #1 approximately 6" (152 mm) in from curb, fence or wall.

3. Snap chalk line #2 perpendicular to line #1 approximately 6" (152 mm) in from curb, fence or wall.

4. Begin laying whole tiles where lines intersect. Lay whole tiles left to right along line #1 up to curb, fence or wall on the opposite side of chalk line #2. Cut last tile if needed to fit against curb, fence or wall.

5. Continue this process until reaching curb, fence or wall across from chalk line #1.

6. Go back and fill in gaps between the 2 original chalk lines and the curb, fence or wall on those 2 sides.

Installation Where Beveled Edges ARE Required:

1. Go around entire perimeter and snap a chalk line showing where beveled edge will end.

2. Lay beveled edge in place, fully adhered, on 2 perpendicular sides.

3. Begin laying whole tiles against beveled edge on a side against the installed beveled edge. Lay whole tiles left to right along the beveled edges.

4. Continue the process with each row until reaching opposite sides of tile area. Install the remaining beveled edges. DuraPaver used on walkway DuraTile Plus (2’ square with paver imprint)

PRECAUTIONS

The concrete or asphalt substrate must be level or uniformly sloped since variations will be telegraphed through to the tile surface.

DuraTile can usually accommodate undulation and variations from level in most rooftop applications. Verify this to be true on any specific application before proceeding.

Avoid tile installation when large temperature swings are expected during the time between adhesive application and final curing, as gapping between tiles may result.

Protect the installed surface from damage resulting from subsequent construction activity on the site.

8. Maintenance

Hose off entire surface to remove food, drink, sand, dirt and loose debris. A pressure washer may be used, but do not exceed 1500 psi (10,335 kPa) pressure or place nozzle closer than 12" (305 mm) to surface. While surface is still damp, apply a mild household or commercial cleaner to a small area using a sprayer. Scrub using a medium bristle brush. Repeat as necessary on heavily stained areas. Once entire surface has been cleaned, rinse using a garden hose with spray nozzle attachment. Complete maintenance recommendations are available from Surface America, Inc.
