How much is it
This is the first thing that worries any developer. Indeed, wouldn't such a coating be worth its weight in gold, and how justified are these costs? Doubts are quite understandable - if you look at the cost of a tile made of rubber crumb, it will unpleasantly surprise you: about 2,400 rubles. for 1 m2.
But don't be in a hurry. If we take the components of the coating, that is, the crumb itself and the polyurethane glue for gluing it, then the cost will be only about 350 rubles. for 1 m2. If you hire workers for laying, then their services will cost about 700 rubles, in total - 1,050 rubles. for 1 m2.
Highlights in crumb rubber pouring
There is no need to make a thick fill of crumb rubber. If the base for the blind area is solid, then you can get by with a layer of 1 cm. For a less reliable base, it is recommended to fill in two layers, and lay a reinforcing fiberglass mesh between them.
In principle, you can lay the crumb on any base, the main thing is to tamp and level it well. The rubber coating is suitable for crushed stone, concrete, gravel, metal and even just grass.
1 m2 the coating takes about 6 kg of crumbs and 1,700 g of glue. The crumb is mixed by adding a little glue using a construction mixer. Then the mixture is laid out in place and leveled with a roller, without undue effort.
What mistakes are made most often when laying
The crumb is placed only on a clean surface, dust and debris adversely affect the quality of the styling.
It is better not to skimp on glue - buy only well-known brands that guarantee high quality. You should not also experiment with the proportions of the components.
If it's a damp and cold day outside, reschedule the styling to a more suitable time.
Advantages and disadvantages of a rubber blind area
The new technology has many positive qualities. First of all, it is universal and suitable for all surfaces. Such a blind area is absolutely harmless. It does not slip, and even if you fall, you will come into contact with the soft rubber, which will minimize possible injuries.
Even when the ground moves, the crumb carpet does not crack and does not break. In the event of any strong mechanical impact, it is very easy to repair the coating - with the same crumb and glue.
The surface of the crumb is easily swept, from this material you can make not only a blind area, but also garden paths.
The rubber blind area also has disadvantages - it is afraid of temperatures above +70 ° C. Only under what circumstances can such a temperature generally be in our latitudes?
