Flagstone Rubber Pavers look like a good solution for hiding a shifting concrete problem I have on a front porch. However, this is southern Arizona and porch is on south side, so question is: will the material hold up to intense desert sun and heat? And do you have finish edge pieces (like a bull nose edge for the perimeter?) Thank you.
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers will hold up to the intense desert sun. During the day you may see some expansion of the tiles with the heat of the day, but that will subside with the cool of the day. If the pavers will be in direct sunlight for a long period of time, you may experience some fading. We currently do not have any edging for these tiles.
Was this helpful?From the answer to a question, I see that you can install the rubber flagstone pavers on compacted dirt (with a weed barrier). But installation instructions require the pavers to be glued down; I assume because of wind lift. How does one prevent wind lift when installed on dirt or what is the substitute for gluing it down?
If a full spread glue down installation is not available, you can use a seam sealer adhesive to glue the pavers to each other. This will help to create a solid floor that would be able to withstand most wind events.
Was this helpful?I want to install pavers in the back yard. Do I need to prepare the ground before laying the pavers ?
If you are placing the pavers over grass or compacted dirt you will want to ensure the surface is flat. You will also want to place a weed barrier under the pavers to keep grass from growing through the flooring surface. If the pavers are being placed on a concrete slab, you will want to ensure the surface is clean of dirt and debris.
Was this helpful?This tile would be installed outdoors over a concrete flooring. In the winter it will ice up for days and possibly weeks at a time. How well will it withstand these cold and icy conditions?
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers hold up well in all temperatures. These tiles are made to be installed outdoors and will not get brittle in cold temperatures.
Was this helpful?From the photo of the tile, it looks like these tiles do have enough space under them to allow water to run out from underneath them. But no mention is made of this (unlike for some other products you sell). Also - is there any acoustic reduction using these tiles? We want to use them on our deck, which is above two bedrooms, and in a wet climate (Seattle).
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers are a two-sided paver and allow for water and other liquids to flow under them easily. These tiles would provide some impact resistance and noise reduction from the floor above, which would make them perfect for your deck.
Was this helpful?I plan to install this on a rubber roof membrane. Do I still have to glue it down?
You do not have to glue our Flagstone Rubber Pavers over a rubber roof membrane. These tiles can be loose laid.
Was this helpful?If placing this over existing wood deck do you glue it down, and does this product resist any mildew problems that I have had with indoor outdoor carpet.
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers do not have to be glued to the wood deck. If you wanted to glue the pavers to the deck, we recommend the usage of a polyurethane glue. Since these are made with rubber, no mold or mildew will grown on them.
Was this helpful?How well will these pavers hold up to ice and snow as we live in the the mountains of Colorado? They will also get dry heat in the summers.
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers are made to be used outdoors in all types of conditions. These tiles will not dry out in summer and will not get brittle in freezing cold temperatures.
Was this helpful?Can a scroll saw be used to cut flagstone rubber pavers instead of a razor knife?
You can use an electric saw to cut our Flagstone Rubber Pavers. Typically rubber is cut with a band saw, but you can use a scroll saw to cut these. You will just need to make sure that you run it at a low speed with either water or silicone running over the blade to keep it from melting the rubber as it cuts.
Was this helpful?Our entry way porch is concrete which is cracking. We live in snow country which means it may need to be shoveled daily of 1-12+" of snow. Our temperature ranges from -10 F in the winter to 90 F in the summer. 1) Will these tiles work to cover the cracks, 2) Will these tile hold up to the snow shoveling , 3) Will these tile be too slippery for us to walk on when they are wet or snow covered? If these tiles will not work, can you make a suggestion?
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers are freeze/thaw stable, so they will be able to handle the seasonal temperatures. These tiles are made from the same material your car tires are made of. If you do need to shovel snow off of the tiles, you can do this, but we recommend using a plastic shovel. If you use a metal shovel, there is potential for you to damage the tiles. Since these tiles are made of rubber, they are very slip resistant and are actually more slip resistant when wet. Now if there is ice on the tiles, you will need to use sand or salt to regain the traction that is lost.
Was this helpful?How do we remove a pucker? The four corners of our tiles are turning up after four years of usage. We live in a cold climate but do wash the tiles up in the fall and winter them in our garage. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
The best way to remove a pucker would be to install the flooring with a polyurethane adhesive permanently. Since these tiles are made from recycled rubber, they will expand and contract with the heating and cooling of the day. The pucker you see is the tiles expanding. When replacing the flooring, you can also try and install the tiles in the hottest part of the day; this will ensure that there is a proper amount of gapping between each paver to keep them from puckering. Readjustments may be needed as you have the flooring installed throughout the summer.
Was this helpful?How would I cover stairs?
To cover stairs with our Flagstone Rubber Pavers you would just have to cut the tiles to fit and then glue them to the stairs with a polyurethane glue.
Was this helpful?What percentage of the content of the flagstone pavers are recycled material?
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers are 100% recycled.
Was this helpful?Are your red pavers any thinner and can they be used on an interior concrete floor covering such as a bathroom?
Our Red Flagstone Rubber Pavers are 3/4" thick and can be installed over concrete in indoor and outdoor applications. Rubber is naturally more slip resistant when wet, so, they would work great as a bathroom floor.
Was this helpful?Do you have a paver that I could place a hot tub on that will hold up to the weight. Dead weight is 125 lbs per sq ft. 8 x8 pad.
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers would be able to withstand the weight of a hot tub on them. These tiles are made from high-quality rubber.
Was this helpful?I also want to put these on ground inside my kennel runs. The ground will be somewhat level with sand laid over the dirt and weed cloth and will be under a carport. Any suggestions? and do you think they will withstand the dogs and hosing down on a daily basis?
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers can be used for this purpose. These tiles are made of high quality rubber, so they will be able to withstand dogs and a hosing everyday.
Was this helpful?Are these tiles perfectly square? Other rubber tiles I have looked into have comments stating they vary in size from 1/8" to 1/4", which causes gaps in the seams and makes the installation complicated with a not so good end result. Will all of the tiles have the same uniform color - no light/dark variations?
No tile is truly perfect, but our Flagstone Rubber Pavers a pretty darn close. The tiles will install like any standard brick paver and you should not experience any gapping when installed on flat ground. There can be some color variation as these tiles are painted but we try to make sure that all tiles in an order a pretty similar in shade and color.
Was this helpful?What is the warranty, and how long do the flagstone pavers last outside in the sun over a dirt area?
Our Flagstone Rubber Pavers don't have a manufacturer's warranty for them. These rubber pavers will last for as long as you own the tiles. You will just need to make sure to take care of the tiles with regular maintenance. A quick hose down and sweeping of any large debris is all that is necessary. The only thing you will notice when installed in direct sunlight is that the tiles will fade.
Was this helpful?Can these Flagstone Rubber Pavers be placed over a modified bitumen roof?
Yes, our Flagstone Rubber Pavers can be installed over a modified bitumen roof.
Was this helpful?I am considering installing these on the deck of my pontoon boat. Are these soft enough for barefoot? I'm also concerned about water drainage onto the marine subfloor. Has anyone used them for this purpose? Thank you.
You can install our Flagstone Rubber Pavers as flooring on the deck of a pontoon boat, and customers have. Rubber flooring is very slip-resistant and more so when wet. These rubber tiles are not soft underfoot but are comfortable. The only thing you will notice is that they will get warm to the touch in direct sunlight. The tiles wouldn't damage your marine subfloor. Water is par for the course with any boat, and having these tiles over the subfloor will help reduce the amount of water that would hit the subfloor.
