3. Product Description
PlayBound™ Tile Playground Surfacing is designed for playgrounds of all types. It is installed over a poured asphalt, concrete or crushed stone substrate. It is also suited for rooftop applications. The product line features an extensive range of standard tile designs and accessory pieces.
The PlayBound Tile system offers shock resistance and comes in 4 standard thicknesses and can be produced from 1 3/4" - 4" (43 - 100 mm) in thickness. It consists of 2 product families: pigmented and EPDM. Pigmented tiles are 100% post-consumer recycled SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber), available only in black, and pigmented polyurethane. The EPDM tiles are recycled postindustrial EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, available in a variety of colors and color combinations, and polyurethane.
PlayBound Tiles feature dual density construction with bottom designs for maximum surface contact and solid sides. This allows maximum contact between the tile bottom and base as well as between adjacent tiles.
The type of playground equipment determines the required tile thickness. Depending on ASTM F1292 requirements for critical fall height 4’, 6’, 8’ or 10’ (1.2, 1.8, 2.4 or 3.1 m), select tile thickness from optional thicknesses 1 3/4", 2 3/8", 3 3/8" or 4" (43, 60, 85 or 100 mm), respectively. Specify project requirements and coordinate with working drawings. Custom thicknesses are available, ranging from 1 1/2" - 4" (38 - 100 mm).

The following chemicals may cause damage to the playground surface and should be avoided: disinfectants, concentrated chlorine bleach, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic and lubricating oils, acids and organic solvents.
In water play areas, pool surrounds and similar applications; dissolved minerals and other chemicals (hydrochlorides) may cause surface discoloration over time. This condition, should it occur, is not considered to be a product failure.
Due to the elastic characteristics of rubber, some variation in tile dimensions may be expected. This amount is approximately +/ to 2 mm in thickness and -2 to 5 mm in length and in width.

5. Installation
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 playground surfacing installation until all applicable site work, including substrate preparation, fencing, playground equipment installation and other relevant work, has been completed.
Verify that substrate conditions are suitable for installation of the playground surfacing system and do not proceed with installation until unsuitable conditions are corrected.
It is recommended that rectangular PlayBound Tiles be laid in a quarter-length, staggered pattern.
Apply adhesive on tight asphalt or concrete at a rate of approximately 65 ft2/gal (1.6 m2/L) square feet per gallon. 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 tube.
Adhesive should be applied to approximately 60 perimeter inches (1.5 m) of the total 120 perimeter inches (3 m) of the tile, when bonding side-to-side, to allow for rainwater drainage.
Rooftops and temporary installations often call for side-to-side bonding only. In these cases, do not apply adhesive using a notched trowel to the base or roofing system.
Maintain a straight line at the tile joints. Because of the elastic nature of rubber, a perfect fit from tile to tile is not possible. To keep lines straight, adjust tiles using a rubber mallet and place like-size tiles together as they are laid.
The concrete or asphalt substrate must be level or uniformly sloped since variations will be telegraphed through to the tile surface. Avoid installation when large temperature swings during the time between adhesive application and final curing (12 - 36 hours, depending on temperature and humidity) are expected, as gapping between tiles may result.
Protect the installed playground surface from damage resulting from subsequent construction activity on the site. Rooftop applications are possible because tiles can be loose-laid with side-to-side bonding.

7. Warranty
The standard warranty period is 5 years from date of product shipment. Contact Surface America, Inc., for more information on warranty terms.
8. Maintenance
Hose off entire playground 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.
