I'm planning on buying the 2.5 inch Jamboree tile for about 1000sq area. Can I install it over compacted dirt?

Was this helpful?We would like to install this on the bathroom/shower floors in our cabin. It can be very damp because it's a small area. Would the 2.5 in tiles allow for proper drainage and can these be cut to size?
Our Jamboree Playground Tiles are porous and allow water to flow through the tiles. So they will drain properly in your shower. We also do offer a wide range of shower tiles that you may be interested in on our drainage tiles page. Our Jamboree tiles can be cut to fit with the use of a large bread knife or band saw.

Was this helpful?I am planning to put these in our playground. But that has stones laid out now. Do I need to make sure that all the stones are removed first ? Also I keep getting lot of weeds in that area. Once I lay this , will there be issue with weeds?
As long as the stones are flat, you can place our Jamboree Playground Tiles over them. If they are not, then you would need to remove the stones. Once installed, most weeds will die since there will be no sunlight and very little space for the weeds to grow.

Was this helpful?Do these tiles get hot in the sun? We're looking for something to put over a concrete slab that will be cool enough to go barefoot...San Diego...
The tiles when in direct sunlight will get warm under foot. Black will be the hottest color by far. To keep the tiles cool, you can run a hose over the flooring surface. Rubber is more slip resistant when wet, so the floor will not present a slip hazard for anyone at play.
Was this helpful?How do you recommend to install reducers and corners for 2-1/2" tiles? How to fix it in place? There is no way to use Blok connectors, so I am stuck with it.
To adhere the ramps and corners you will want to use our polyurethane glue or seam sealer. Just apply the glue to the side that butts up to the tile, press and hold and the ramp and corners will bind to the floor.
