Installation – Base Preparation
| • | Ontario Rubber Decking can be installed on asphalt or concrete surfaces. |
| • | Asphalt or concrete surfaces require a slope of no less than 2% to drain, acknowledging that surface is water permeable. |
| • | Granular, asphalt or concrete surfaces require a slope of no less than 2% to drain, acknowledging that Playsafe is a water permeable surface. |
| • | Base can be sloped up to 30 degrees within the installation area. |
Thickness of
Poured-In-Place
| • | Ontario Rubber Decking is applied at a minimum thickness of 5-8mm, 3/8” using E.P.D.M. rubber granules ranging from 2.5mm to 3.5mm in size. |
| • | Polyurethane binder shall be mixed throughout the entire thickness. |
| • | Bevel is installed at the perimeter of the installation running from the thickness of the surface down to the base. The outside line of the bevel must be clear and follow the designed edge of the installation. |
Important
Notice
It should be noted that EPDM coloured surface will appear to have a yellow tinge to the finish after installation. This is caused by the reaction of the MDI Urethane resin coating on the rubber granules when in contact with Ultra Violet light. This is a short term reaction until the natural effects of fading occur as the curing process proceeds. This process of “burning back” to the natural colour occurs more quickly with outside surfaces. Taking approximately 14 days with direct sunlight.
