Modular tiles in landscape design

Modular tiles in landscape design

No landscaping project, garden landscape plan, or area around the house, no matter how much space it occupies, can do without paths and various grounds. Therefore, the question of selecting pavements is often acute. The range of road materials for this increases from year to year. Understanding them is pretty tricky. When creating comfortable, beautiful grounds and paths in the country house, the first thing to consider is plastic tiles, which appeared only a few years ago but have already taken a leading place among other road surfaces.
This material is suitable for paths, paths, gyms, playgrounds, and commercial and industrial premises. Laying these plastic tile paths does not require any special knowledge or training and can be managed by your efforts.
Advantages
For paths with a rubber coating in the country house, mostly choose water-permeable types of tiles, and therefore they do not remain wet after precipitation. And they also attract attention with their non-slip surface. In addition, the plates of this material are much lighter than others (concrete, stone), which, in turn, facilitates the work on the laying and reduces labor costs.
Modular plastic tiles stand out among other types of coating and long life (more than ten years), resistance to substantial mechanical stress, and various weather conditions (sun, wind, frost, ultraviolet radiation).
Also, tiles for paths will help avoid serious injuries, such as fractures or tendon injuries when falling. And also, such properties make it possible to transport the tiles over any distance without any loss because they do not break, do not crack, and, therefore, almost no waste.
Types and styles of laying paths on the site
Dacha paths can be designed in various styles, and this depends directly on the type of material used and the color, shape, and design of the entire site. It can be:
- modular tiles;
- rolls;
- products.

Rolled materials, created based on rubber or rubber, are a piece of length from 5 to 50 linear meters. The width can be from 1 to 2 meters and the thickness - from 4 to 20 millimeters. This material is usually suitable for the design of children's playgrounds, parking lots, all kinds of paths, and the area near the pool.
In addition, this material is suitable for steps and reduces the risk of slipping after rain or snow and frosts. For outdoor areas, be sure to choose materials with good frost resistance.
Rolled rubber coatings have good noise insulation, thermal insulation, vibration isolation properties, and good resistance to aggressive chemicals.
Interestingly, they are often used as a temporary coating to protect a beautiful floor of expensive materials during celebrations, meetings, or meetings with a large crowd. When the event is over, the flooring is rolled up and put away for storage until the subsequent use.
Rubber rolls retain their decorative appearance for a long time, are environmentally friendly material, do not emit any poisonous substances, and do not form static discharges when exposed to fire.
Creating a coating with this material can be very quickly and easily if the base is prepared. The edges of the sheets are attached to the ground with glue, which makes the joints almost invisible. You can even hide minor differences in height. After the adhesive dries (about a day), the flooring is ready for use.
Modular Tile
Products consisting of plastic modules can still be used to decorate various paths and areas in the garden, cottage, or park.
Modular tiles are quickly and reliably combined using protruding parts of different shapes. It stands out from other coatings by its resistance to UV radiation, intensive mechanical action, and the fact that it can dampen quite a lot of vibration and noise.
Multicolored modular tiles are suitable for creating coatings for parking lots, stadiums, gyms, warehouses, and areas for heavy machinery. This surface can be laid on almost any substrate: asphalt, concrete, gravel, crushed stone, soil, or sand.
A little about usage
Paths and platforms from plastic tiles have a high resistance to erasure and a variety of adverse weather conditions and long service life; they do not appear fungi. In addition, it is not to the taste of mice; insects do not breed inside, which is also essential.
The operation of such a tile requires a little care. It consists of the timely removal of debris. Tiles are washed with water from a hose at medium pressure. If heavily soiled, scrub with a brush and soap solution.
Snow is removed with a special flat shovel or broom. Ice crust is easily removed with a stiff-bristled brush or a shovel.
