Material – Our rubber pavers are made from 100% high-quality recycled SBR tire rubber.
Note – Some minor color variation among traditional pigmented rubber pavers is unavoidable. Rubber pavers will fade in direct sunlight overtime and can potentially bleed. These pavers are not recommended for residential decks since color can be tracked back into homes on hot days. The warranty on these tiles will not cover color fading and bleeding.

Cleaning & Maintenance Procedures - Cleaning is as simple as sweeping or blowing away the debris and hosing off the dirt. For a deeper clean just pressure wash the surface making sure you do not use more than 1200 psi.
Note: Do not use any solvent or oil style cleaners such as Pinesol, Lysol, Murphy’s Oil Soap, WD40, paint thinner, etc. as these types of cleaners will break down the rubber pavers surface over time.
Loose Lay Installation
Note: 7/8” thick rubber pavers must always be adhered. Loose laid rubber pavers must be installed using a perimeter border system.
A. Install the perimeter border system of your choice.
B. Dig out approximately 12 inches of soil below the desired level of the rubber pavers.
C. Replace the soil first with just over nine inches of compacted crushed stone and then add an additional inch of sand over the top of the stone.
D. Once your area has been properly prepared measure the width of the area to be covered at the center and snap a chalk line down the middle.
E. Determine the center of the chalk line you just marked and snap a second chalk line making a precise 90 degree right angle perpendicular to your first line.
F. Start laying the rubber pavers from left to right starting at the center point where your two chalk lines intersect.
G. Make sure your rubber pavers are lined up perfectly with your chalk lines when laying the first row and you will need to cut the last paver to fit tightly along your border.
H. Continue to fill in the rest of the pavers using that first row you started with as a guide until your entire area is completed.
Adhered Installation
Note: 7/8” thick rubber pavers must always be adhered and 1-3/4” thick rubber pavers may be adhered or loose-laid.
A. Always let your rubber pavers and adhesive adjust to the temperature where they will be installed at for up to 48 hours prior to installation.
B. Clean the surface the rubber pavers will be adhered to making sure there is no loose debris or dust.
C. Once your area has been properly prepared measure the width of the area to be covered at the center and snap a chalk line down the middle.
D. Determine the center of the chalk line you just marked and snap a second chalk line making a precise 90 degree right angle perpendicular to your first line.
E. Starting at the center where your two lines intersect use a 1/8” square notched trowel to apply just enough polyurethane adhesive in an area that can be covered by rubber pavers within 30 minutes.
F. On top of the adhesive you just applied to the surface start laying the rubber pavers from left to right starting at the center point where your two chalk lines intersected.
G. Make sure your rubber pavers are lined up perfectly with your chalk lines when laying the first row and you will need to cut the last paver to fit tightly along your border.
H. Continue to fill in the rest of the pavers using that first row you started with as a guide until your entire area is completed.
Note: Do not let the adhesive cure on your hands or the surface of the rubber pavers because it is very difficult to remove. Wipe off any unwanted adhesive with a cloth and some mineral spirits as soon as possible.
