Maintenance of rubber floor tiles
The rubber surfaces to be laid outside are made of malleable material, resistant to the action of adverse weather conditions, and are all certified according to law.
However, they can suffer from expansion or contraction based on the climate. On a hot day, for example, you will notice that the plates will be more “swollen”. On colder days, however, they can shrink. This process occurs naturally, it is a property of rubber.
If the rubber floor tile is not installed correctly, this process of contraction and expansion can end up creating small cracks between the plates, which is why we recommend that you pay maximum attention when laying.
