Please contact us for technical specs, installation data, and CAD drawings.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Rubbersidewalks are high-density
paving tiles made with recycled California tire crumbed rubber
combined with polyurethane binder and colorant, then molded with
heat under compression. This produces a strong and durable part
that meets all requirements of sidewalk-worthiness, including stable
grade, non-vibration in compliance with ADA requirements, and high
coefficient of friction for non-skid both dry and wet. Rubbersidewalks
are available in various sizes and colors, and are reversible.
Known life per face is minimum eight years. Actual life per face
is not known but is expected to exceed 12 years.
100% recycled California crumb rubber, Urethane resin binder & colorant

Paver expected to darken
slightly in the first two months then remain stable. UV lab tests
show no change after two years. Surface appearance may vary due
to inconsistence in granulated waste tire rubber.

by accredited U.S. testing companies
and performed under continuous
direct supervision.

Rubbersidewalks is a modular
sidewalk system. Pavers are
interconnected and can be
opened by professional contractors
for tree root maintenance,
utilities maintenance, seismic
adjustment, sidewalk relocation,
etc.

binder
-Non-toxic. All components
inert solids. No volatile organic
-Rubbersidewalks reduce sound
of pedestrian or wheeled traffic.
-Maintenance: Sweep, hose down or mop |
