Introducing
Interlocking Recycled Rubber Playground Tiles from
Unity Surfacing Systems!
Unity Surfacing Systems, based in New York
state, produces recycled rubber tiles suitable for
a variety of applications. For playground
applications, they offer a series of interlocking
impact absorbing tiles. These
22" x 44" tiles come in a range of thicknesses,
offering certified fall-height impact ratings from
3 feet to 11 feet. The Play-Land series tiles come
in 2.25", 2.5" or 2.75" thickness, while the
thicker Soft-Land series is available in 3", 3.25", 3.75"
versions. These products are produced in a variety of
colors and are made from 100% recycled tires.
Among the special features found in
Unity's playground tiles is their double
interlocking system with bolt-down
capability. With this system, special
interlocking tabs are positioned every three
inches along the edge of each tile. These
interlocking tabs can be held in place by friction
or glued together for a very
secure installation. The interlocking tabs
eliminate product to product separation and
curling of the tiles. The assembled interlocked
mat can be glued to the subsurface, or allowed to
float freely for better drainage.
Alternatively, for an even more
secure installation, the tiles can be
attached to a hard subsurface with screws or bolts.
The Unity interlocking tiles have special countersunk screw
locations on each of the interlocking tabs.
 The
photos on the right and
below show the
interlocking system and
the bolt-down receptacle
locations. The multiple
interlocking tabs
tightly join individual
tiles together,
eliminating
expansion, contraction
and peeling problems
that can occur with some
other playground
surfacing products.

 In
addition to providing excellent impact protection
and a secure interlocking system, the Utility
Playground Tile design addresses another important
issue common to both playground and decking
applications... drainage.
As
shown in the photo on the right, Unity playground
tiles have hundreds of small molded support cones
protruding from the base. These cones perform two
functions. They absorb shock and allow for water and
air to easily flow under the tiles.
Unity products are available in a variety of colors.
The standard colors are black, gray, red, green tan,
blue, white, teal, brown and purple. Custom EPDM colors such as the multi-colored
"Splash" shown below next to the black tile and and
gray speckled on the right are just a few of the options. Using solid colored EPDM rubber
granules, dozens of color combinations are possible.
