Are you able to cut these tiles to certain angles? My yard is shaped like a slice of pizza.
Our Jamboree Jamboree Playground Tiles come in square shapes but these can be easily cut to fit any area with the use of a large bread knife or band saw.
Was this helpful?I am looking to use rubber flooring for a swimming pool deck. What do you recommend?
Our Jamboree Playground Tiles will work perfectly for this application. These tiles are made from rubber, which is slip-resistant and becomes more slip-resistant when wet, making it the perfect flooring option around water. However, if the deck will be under direct sunlight, we would recommend going with a color other than black.
Was this helpful?Do you provide installation?
Our products are easy to self-install. However, we can connect you with installers in your area. Please call us directly and one of our flooring consultants would ve happy to get that set up for you.
Was this helpful?Do the tiles come with everything you would need to install? If not what are the accessories that are mandatory to get as well?
Jamboree Playground Tiles are sold as tiles but accessories are available to purchase separately on the product page itself. With the 1" tiles, we recommend getting the Quad Blok Connector and 1" Reducer. For the 2.5" tiles, our customers usually buy the Quad Blok Connector, 2.5" Reducer, and Jamboree ADA Ramp & Apron Set. When installing 2.5" thick Jamboree playground tiles, one quad block connector is recommended for every one Jamboree tile purchased. To adhere to the ramps and corners you will want to use our polyurethane glue or the seam sealer.
Was this helpful?What does it mean guaranteed fall height? If my kids falls from a 4 foot high playground, they will not hurt themselves?
By guaranteed fall height, we mean that if your kids were to accidentally fall, they would not be seriously hurt.
Was this helpful?I want to install these under a play set on a wood deck. Will these allow enough drainage that the wood does not rot over time?
Our Jamboree Playground Tiles are water permeable and allow water to flow through them to the subfloor below. If you are concerned about the wood rotting under the tiles, we would recommend placing a plastic sheet under the tiles with holes in strategic spots to allow the water to flow where you would like it to.
Was this helpful?Could you put a shed on top of these playground tiles?
You can install a shed over our Jamboree Playground Tiles.
Was this helpful?Can this be installed on top of concrete? If so, how is it glued down and will water drain?
You can install our Jamboree Playground Tiles over concrete. If you would like to glue these tiles to concrete, we recommend using our Polyurethane Adhesive. The tiles would still allow water to flow through them, and the water would channel out from under the tiles to the ground that surrounds it or to a drain. These tiles have feet that raise the tile in height. This allows for there to be channels even when the tiles are being glued to a subsurface.
Was this helpful?When not in use for a playground, can we occasionally use to park a car on this? Can this flooring handle the weight of a car? Also, do we have to realign when turning the wheels?
You can drive a car on our Jamboree Playground Tiles. These tiles are durable enough to handle the weight of a car. The only thing you will want to be mindful of is if your car drips oil. Oil over time can cause the tiles to breakdown. When driving on these tiles, you don't have to realign when turning your wheels.
Was this helpful?Are corners and edges purchased separately?
We don't offer any corners for our Jamboree Playground Tiles. We do sell ramps for these tiles which would be the edges for this product, and they would be sold separately. You can cut these edges to create the corners around the flooring. To cut these tiles and the edges, we recommend using a sharp serrated bread knife.
Was this helpful?Are the tiles waterproof? Do they come with a cancer warning?
Our 2.5" Jamboree Playground Tiles are not waterproof. They are porous on purpose as to allow water to flow through the tiles so that water does not pool on the surface of the tiles. These playground tiles were designed for outdoor use, so this is important when using these tiles in areas where kids will be playing whether rain or shine. This helps to ensure that the tiles won't create a slip hazard. These playground tiles are very safe and do not come with a cancer warning. All of our products are tested on a regular basis to ensure the safety of them for our customers.
Was this helpful?Can the Jamboree Playground tiles be placed over a concrete patio to convert the area into a 6 month - 36-month-old playground area?
You can install our Jamboree Playground Tiles over any hard flat surface such as a concrete slab, asphalt, or compacted dirt or gravel. These tiles will provide ample fall height ratings for young and old alike.
Was this helpful?How do you anchor down playground tiles? If a large storm, “a hurricane,” came through, how do they anchor to the ground?
The best way to anchor our Jamboree Playground Tiles is to adhere the tiles to a concrete pad fully.
Was this helpful?What is the warranty on these tiles? Does it cover fading and discoloration?
Our Jamboree Playground Tiles have a 5-year warranty which is a manufacturer's warranty. It covers manufacturing defects. Our warranty does not cover color fading or discoloration. Since these tiles are painted, they will fade in direct sunlight over time.
Was this helpful?Can these tiles be installed outside over Durock cement boards which are attached together with special tape for Durock and thin set?
Our Jamboree Playground Tiles can be installed over Durock cement boards or any other hard flat surface.
Was this helpful?Does the tile have enough air circulation? If water puddles and gets trapped underneath the tiles I don't want it to mold and create a mosquito hangout spot.
Depending on your installation, air would be able to flow under our Jamboree Playground Tiles allowing for quick evaporation of any water under the tiles. Since these tiles are made from rubber, mold and mildew will not grow on them. In most instances, there wouldn't be enough water pooled under the tiles to create a mosquito haven.
Was this helpful?How hard are the 1" tiles to cut? Built a swing set for my son, and it has a 6' diameter round tower with an open bottom. Would like to cover the inside area with this to prevent grass/weed growth.
Our 1" Jamboree Playground Tiles are fairly easy to cut with a band saw or large bread knife. If you use a bread knife, make sure you bring plenty of elbow grease to cut through them.
Was this helpful?I am looking for something to lay down on a compacted dirt area in an outdoor weightlifting Gym. Will these mats handle the dropping of Dumbbells weights?
Our Jamboree Playground Tiles can handle the dropping of weights on them. They some of the thickest tiles we offer and will provide you with great shock absorbency.
Was this helpful?Do you have any tiles thick enough to meet an 8' or 10' fall height?
The highest fall height rating our Jamboree Playground Tiles meet is a 6' fall height. To get a higher fall height rating, we recommend checking out our PlaySafe Interlocking Playground Tile lines.
Was this helpful?Can these be installed over crushed stone?
We recommend installing our Jamboree Playground Tiles over a solid flat surface such as concrete or asphalt, but these tiles can be installed over compacted crushed gravel.
