Your double tile-mat-block System on the rooftop of our building. Your double tile-mat-block with its double interlocking system impressed us most. Upon with its double interlocking system impressed us most. Upon seeing the sample colors that were sent to our office and seeing seeing the sample colors that were sent to our office and seeing your products installed at other buildings, we decided to go with your products installed at other buildings, we decided to go with red and green as seen in your brochure.” - Dave Platnick, Owner red and green as seen in your brochure.” - Dave Platnick, Owner

The sheer size , weight, durability, interlocking design, built-in pedestal system, coupled with our specially formulated one-part adhesives, provides resistance to premature wear-and-tear, wind-up lif t, and leg fatigue. Unity’s resilient tile/mat/block/paver system will conform to almost any sloped waterproofing membrane system - old or new. It also provides noise reduction when installed on such applications as this rooftop playground seen below:

Space is the most valuable asset in most major cities. There is an increasing demand for our products to be installed on rooftops and indoors. We are the only manufacturer to pass several types of class “ A ” fire tests, including modified versions, making our products superior for such installations. If required , a fire rated version is available prior to ordering.

“Thank you for the beautiful outdoor safety surfacing you installed on our rooftop playground. If you would see the breathtaking emotions of both children and staff, you would agree that a beautiful playground expands a child’s ability to value his or her own capabilities and celebrate others as well.”

What sets our products at a level that others can only marvel at is our authentic, quadruple, interlocking design that is 40% larger. This system is built directly into our products and eliminates the need for fast eners, pins, clips, etc. Our patente d tongue and groove technology is designed to snap and hook into place, providing 60% more area to glue than the competitors. This technological advancement provides the strongest locking mec hanism along various parts of the product, preventing our products from separating, curling or peeling char acteristic of a standard tile/mat/block/paver.

These twelve staggered interlocking joints: 1.) lock tightly together 2.) provide faster and easier drainage, prohibiting any foreign objects from settling between the interlocks, commonly found in competing pr oducts on the market today. 3.) help prevent our products from shifting away from one another - a necessity in active “ common ” areas. 4.) eliminate future problems such as expansion and contraction which may encourage vandalism. 5.) allow owners of our products to unlock the tabs in order to remove a damaged product, repairing a substrate (roof), or relocate a surfacing/flooring area if necessary. This versatility is unmatched and decreases the repair expenses to the consumer allowing for many years of hassle-free enjoyment.

With this view from the bottom , you can see that our solid coned (feet and/or leg) bottom design acts as a shock absorber from falls onto the surfacing below. It also helps with storm water management by allowing water to flow freely to the drainage outlet when installed on a rooftop or on a solid sub-base material, such as concrete (cement) or asphalt (blacktop). Our unique product design also eliminates any “ hard spots ” and/or “picture framing,” a common design problem with other competing products on the market today.

Unity also features a double tile/mat/block which has a fake seam down the middle. This feature, that is exclusive to Unity Creations, Ltd. / Unity Surfacing Systems, allows us to have a monolithic “ step & repeat ” pattern which lines real seams up with fake seams as if you were installing “ brickwork ” . This technological development acts as a backup to resist separation, curling, peeling and wind up-lift. Fake seams force real seams to stay in place. This type of system allows installers to install twice the square footage per man hour than the conventional square tiles; a savings that is unmatched in the industry today.

More and more agencies are becoming aware of the fact that all public facilities must be handicapped accessible. With the 1991 passage of the “ Americans with Disabilities Act ” (ADA), many areas are being planned or modified to give people with disabilities an opportunity to participate in more everyday activities. Regardless of who you are, it is not easy to have the mobility to maneuver stro llers, crutches, wheel chairs, canes, walkers, etc., through loose filled materials and turf products. All of Unity ’ s products are designed to give children and adults with or without disabilities and varying mobility’s access to freely navigate as per ASTM’s Accessibility-Rotational Penetromete r test.

Handicapped Accessibility A rooftop or any surfacing, flooring and/or paver area that has uncontrolled access may require a unitary surface (i.e. rubber tiles/mats/blocks and/or rubber pavers) to ensure the highest standard of safet y. It also reduces high maintenance costs commonly associated with hard concrete pavers and/or wood decking.

Our products place in the intermediate category regarding installation difficulty. Contractors carry out most of the installations. An installation manual/guide is available upon request. Adhesive must be applied to the interlocks of our products. Tools that are common for typical installations include: a utility knife or jig saw for cutting, a straight edge to make your cuts accurate, a string line and tape measure. A trowel and/or caulking gun may be needed for gluing purposes. Sub-Surfacin g/ Base Options

Since the life expectancy of our products is about 20 years or more (if properly maintained), we suggest installing standard roofing membrane, leaving a slight pitch for drainage. Other types of surfacing options include: concrete (cement) or asphalt (blacktop) crushed stone, quarry, wood decking, roofing and/ or any standard indoor/outdoor flooring that does not have stress cracks.

Installation Our products place in the intermediate category regarding installation difficulty. Contractors carry out most of the installations. An installation manual/guide is available upon request. Adhesive must be applied to a solid base and/or interlocks of our products. Bolts may be applied to the interlocks an d countersunk as well. Tools that are common for typical installations include: a utility knife or jig saw for cutting, a straight edge to make your cuts accurately, a string line and tape measure. A trowel or caulking gun may be needed for gluing purposes and a drill may be needed for bolt-down applications.

As seen here , and mentioned earlier, we now offer a “running bond” method of installation that can stagger the joints anywhere along the interlocks. A “running bond” can help with slight variations during installation, while at the same time allowing for custom designs, layouts and patterns.
