Edging

Edging and Accessories for Warco Rubber Floor Tiles

We recommend elastic edging only with insular or half-insular shaped surfaces tiles with WARCO rubber floor tiles. On a balcony, terrace or roof terrace, edging elements are rarely necessary - only when there is a tripping hazard between two surfaces.

Edging for Bound Subfloors

On a bound subfloor, such as concrete, asphalt, slabs or pavers, we recommend our RR43 (accompanying 40 - 46 mm safety tiles) or RR70 (matching 70 mm tiles) wedge-shaped edging, with the corner element needed in rectangular areas.

Bordering a play area (e.g., asphalted schoolyard, playground on a paved square) with wedge-shaped edging elements will prevent stumbling hazards and secure smooth crossing from asphalt onto the play area. Moreover, edging elements - which are screwed or glued to asphalt - prevent safety tiles from drifting away in a loose formation.

Edging for Unbound Subfloors

With insular play areas or garden terraces, installed on unbound subfloors, such as compacted grit/gravel, lawn or soil, we recommend a universal (compatible with any tile type) elastic kerb edging. Elastic kerb edging, embedded in concrete foundation, prevents safety mats from shifting, just like kerbstone. Another typical application is a beach volleyball court, where step-indicating kerb edging makes the game safer.

When Do I Need to Glue the Tiles?

Use our special polyurethane glue (OP83) to secure the tile grid, by glueing individual tiles together (on the edges) or to the subfloor, with:

• tiles equipped with the tongue-and-groove system (last row)
• tiles with no profiling on the sides: FS35, FS45 (on the edges or on the underside)
• parts of a surface which is prone to shifting or vulnerable (steps, edging elements).

For some products a special connector is available as an option. Since it does not provide a force-fit connection between the tiles while limiting the installation to half-offset formations, we recommend the use of a connector only in exceptional cases.
