Gym
Mats
Our mats don’t need to be glued. The weight alone keeps them in check. This means, that they can be lifted at a later stage and re-sold or used in other places. Importantly, the floor underneath will not be damaged. For larger areas we recommend, that the mats a stored overnight in the room, they are going to be installed in, to acclimatize.
To cut the mats to measure you can use a Stanley knife or jig saw. Do NOT attempt to use any wide blade saws or angle grinder! Burned mats and ruined tools will be the only outcome after that.
Outdoor
Areas
Playgrounds, patios and stables you need a hard surface like tarmac, concrete or patio stones for the thinner mats. They can be secured with Tec7 and other adhesives if needed.
If laid on muck or sand, we recommend the Interlock Play mats. They can go on any surface. Ideally use quarry dust to level the ground instead of sand. It will make the job a whole lot easier.
Ideally the surface should be whacked and evened out with quarry dust.
The Interlock Play mats need a border to keep them in place. It can be a wall, sleeper, patio stone etc.
All the mats and tiles can be easily trimmed and cut with a Stanley knife or a jigsaw for curved edges.
Do NOT use skill saws, table saws or hand saws! The rubber will melt to the blade.
We will always advise on how best to fit and cut the individual mats and tiles.
