Installation

MasterTile Rubber Tiles are extremely easy to install. Once you’ve measured the size of the area you want to cover, it is easy to calculate and order the number of tiles required. If necessary they can easily be cut to size or shape with the use of a utility knife. All that remains is to lay the tiles in your chosen pattern.

A proper foundation is essential for achieving the best results when installing MasterTile Rubber Tiles. Depending on where you want to use the tiles, you might need to prepare your foundation. Once you have finished any excavation required, add a layer of crushed stone aggregate as your base material. This will make your foundation permeable, ensuring optimum drainage.

Important factors to keep in mind

Tiles must remain dry prior to installation. Rubber tiles are porous and can absorb water which may cause them to expand. Expansion or contraction due to heat is another factor to be avoided prior to installation - just as tiles need to stay dry before installation, they should also be exposed to as little sunlight as possible. The surface of MasterTile Interlocking Rubber Tiles can also absorb dust and paint, and should therefore be covered with a protective material if they could be exposed to any of these elements – particularly in a construction environment.

Guidelines for maintenance

MasterTile Interlocking Rubber Pavers are virtually maintenance-free, meaning there are no time-consuming or costly maintenance measures to be considered.

A high-pressure water hose is recommended for cleaning the surface of the pavers. Failing this, a simple sweep or mop (with or without water) will also suffice. No detergents are necessary.

In the unlikely event that a tile is damaged, it can be removed replaced at minimal cost and with very little effort.
