Can these tiles be installed on exposed dirt or gravel?
Our Playsafe Interlocking Playground Tiles can be installed over flat, packed dirt or gravel.
Was this helpful?Is adhesive necessary to install these tiles? They say interlocking but the instructions for installation seem to include adhesive steps.
We recommend using adhesive under the interlocking tiles since it helps to keep the tiles from being stolen and keeps the tiles from buckling. However, using an adhesive is optional, you may skip using the adhesive and go for a glue-free installation by simply interlocking the tiles.
Was this helpful?Can rubber playground tiles be trimmed?
Our PlaySafe Interlocking Playground Tiles can be trimmed with a large bread knife or with a band saw. The easiest way to cut these tiles is with a band saw.
Was this helpful?Are the tiles solid enough to bounce and dribble basketballs?
Basketballs will bounce on our PlaySafe Interlocking Playground Tiles but it won't be the same bounce that you'd get on an indoor basketball court. If you're looking for tiles that would work best for basketballs, please see our Outdoor Sports Tiles here https://www.rubberflooringinc.com/interlocking-tile/outdoor-sports-tiles.html
Was this helpful?Does the color fade with time?
The color will fade on our PlaySafe Interlocking Playground Tiles. The reason these colors will fade is that they are painted. We do offer fade-resistant colors of our PlaySafe Interlocking Playground Tiles in our PlaySafe Interlocking Playground Tiles - Designer Series.
Was this helpful?Can these be used indoors? I'm building a gym and want to protect my floor and muffle the sound when I drop weights (250+lbs).
You can use our PlaySafe Interlocking Playground Tiles indoors. Even though these tiles are very shock absorbent, they are not the best flooring option for a gym. To help mitigate sound and also stand up against dropping weights, we recommend using our 1-1/4" Fit Rubber Tiles, which are interlocking, or our 1" Monster Tiles.

PlaySafe Interlocking Playground Tiles are not porous so water will flow off the top towards the drain. The base should have a 1-2% slope.

Was this helpful?When not in use as playground, can we use the flooring for occasional car parking . Can this flooring handle the weight of a car? Also do the tiles misalign upon 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.
