INTRODUCTION
HEXDALLE
® tiles are made of rubber and polyurethane binding agent. They are moulded at the plant in a single operation. A raised pattern on the underside allows water to drain away. On the top side of the tiles the angles are rounded to avoid chamfers that would result in sharp edges and rapid wear.
I. CHARACTERISTICS OF HEXDALLE
® TILES
HEXDALLE
® tiles comply with the by-law requiring the use of shock-absorbing floor coverings in accordance with NF EN 1177 European standards. All HEXDALLE
® tiles are of exactly the same quality. As they are industrially manufactured, the H.I.C of all of our tiles is guaranteed. HEXDALLE
® XE tiles of a thickness of 10, 20, 30 and 40mm are rated M 3 for fire resistance and are suitable for indoor use.
II. DIMENSIONS
Square tiles of 500 x 500mm and 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 80mm thick. The thickness of the tile will be chosen according to the height of fall of the play equipment (Cf. Look-up
contract table: Thickness/HIC - Free Fall Distance FFD). Bevelled edges (500 x 250mm) and angles (250 x 250mm) on the edge of the tiled surface avoid having a “step”.
III. MAINTENANCE
HEXDALLE
® tiles are designed to keep maintenance costs low. They can be simply washed or swept with a soft brush. The frequency of inspection, cleaning and maintenance can vary depending on the characteristics of the site and the type of use. We recommended inspecting HEXDALLE
® tiles on a weekly basis. However, if one of the criteria below is true of your surface, we recommend performing an inspection twice a week. Intensive use The area around the tiled surface is sand or grit Environment: near the sea (sea spray), damp area in the shade (parks and forests), urban (pollution, vandalism) Region: very sunny, high hygrometry, snow, etc. The operator of the playground must introduce an inspection procedure to be followed by a competent person. An approved inspection form must be completed for each inspection. The inspection procedure shall include at least a visual inspection of: The cleanliness of the tiled surface The appearance of the surface of the tiles The sticking of the tiles Cleaning: Please note that you must allow 72 hours after laying the tiles before cleaning them for the first time. 1) Sweep off all leaves, sand, stones 2) Wash with water at a maximum pressure of 3 bars – never use solvent or a high-pressure cleaner 3) For a deep clean, use our bactericidal fungicidal cleaning product CLEANDALLE FC. Maintenance: 1) Re-sticking non-fixed tiles with PU 93, PU 59 and PU 32 glues 2) HIC check 3) Replacement of any split tiles. HEXDALLE
® tiles can be purchased individually. 4) The colour of the tiles may fade without altering the characteristics of the tile. HEXDALLE
® tiles can be restored using a PU 63 polyurethane
building paint applied by Airless spraying or a paint roller. In accordance with the Official Gazette of France of 26.12.1996, operators or managers must draw up a maintenance plan to check the state of the tiles.
