Product Information

Full details

StrataRise Interlocking Tiles in Grey are designed for creating durable, walk-on surfaces across various environments, from gardens and garages to commercial showrooms. Their modular design offers easy installation and versatility. A key benefit is their ability to create a seamless, raised, or draining surface, though their primary construction from polypropylene means they may be susceptible to extreme temperature fluctuations without proper consideration.

Troubleshooting

Tiles won't interlock properly

Ensure the connecting tabs are clean and free of debris. Check that the tiles are oriented correctly and apply firm, even pressure to connect them. If resistance is met, double-check for obstructions.

Surface feels uneven

Verify that the underlying base is level and stable. Minor unevenness can sometimes be resolved by slightly adjusting tile placement or ensuring all connections are fully engaged.

Tiles appear faded or brittle

This may be due to prolonged exposure to UV rays or extreme temperatures. Consider adding a protective sealant if used in harsh conditions or replacing affected tiles.

Water pooling on the surface

Check that the tiles are installed on a slight incline to allow for drainage, or ensure the drainage channels within the tiles are not blocked by debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install and reconfigure.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Versatile for numerous indoor and outdoor applications.
  • Provides a clean and organized surface.
  • Modular design allows for custom layouts.

Cons

  • Can be susceptible to damage from extreme heat or heavy impacts.
  • May require edge accessories for a finished look.
  • Polypropylene can become brittle in very cold temperatures.
  • Not designed for vehicular traffic unless specifically reinforced.
  • The interlocking mechanism may require firm pressure to secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the base surface is clean, dry, and relatively level before installation. Place the first tile and begin interlocking subsequent tiles by aligning the connecting tabs and applying firm pressure until they click into place. Continue until the desired area is covered. For edges, consider using the optional sloped edge accessories for a smoother transition.

Compatibility: StrataRise tiles are designed to interlock with each other. They are compatible with StrataRise sloped edge accessories. Ensure the substrate is stable; they are not designed for loose ground like sand or gravel without a firm base layer.

Care: Clean the tiles regularly with a damp cloth or a mild detergent and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers, which could damage the material. Sweep or vacuum to remove loose debris. For stubborn stains, a soft brush may be used. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to extreme direct sunlight in very hot climates, as this could affect the polypropylene.
