No, Impact-Tiles are made from truck tyres which are made up of 50% natural rubber and 50% chemical this combination along with a MDI binder eliminates the VOCs. We have a VOC certificate to confirm this.

No, Impact-Tiles are heavy enough to be loose laid, however in extreme uses such as boxing or aerobics they should be adhered to the sub base.

No, Impact-Tiles should be scattered and left overnight to acclimatise to their new environment.

The longevity of a playground surface is based on two major factors, the quality of the products used and the exposure to the elements. Weathering and UV damage play an integral part in the lifespan and colour fastness of a playground surface particulary in our severe Australian Climate. All EPDMs are imported and therefore primarily used in countries that have a solar radiation rating of 80-120kLy as opposed to Australia which has a rating of 220kLy per year, almost double. At A1 rubber we have taken what we have learnt and applied it to ALL of our colour ranges in both CSBR and EPDM.

When you have a wetpour surface installed the polyurethane used is an Aromatic Binder which creates a yellowing effect on all surfaces. The actual colour of the rubber does not change. The yellowing effect is most noticeable with blues and greys. The yellowing will burn off with UV exposure in around 2-6 months’ time.

The time of day is very dependent on the weather, you should leave enough time for your top surface to mostly cure to avoid the dropping of temperatures overnight.

Animat is completely non-porous for easy cleaning and washout.

For the best outcome with Animat we recommend full adhesion to your substrate. In most cases float floor failures are due to the rubber being bolted and stapled trapping moisture between the floor and rubber resulting in sub base failure.

We recommend a sika-flex due to its elasticity capabilities and strength.
