SafePave
"Making tiles used in raised installations Stronger and Safer "
What is SafePave?
SafePave is a system that strengthens tiles that are used in pedestal and floating deck installations to make them safer and eliminate the risk of damage to sub floor systems. The extra strength also has the added benefit of broadening the range of tiles that can be used in these applications. Tests have shown a tile treated with SafePave to be 90% stronger than a non treated tile.
SafePave prevents damage to waterproof membranes, HVAC ducting, Power cables, plumbing or anything else under the tile.
A tile or paver can still crack, but SafePave will prevent the tile shattering and causing damage to people or property
SafePave
Reduces the incidence of tiles breaking due to impact,
Increases the crack resistance of the tiles - tests show tiles are up to 90% stronger
Prevents “tile breakthrough” – (where an object or person falls through a tile as it breaks.)
Prevents damage to waterproof membranes
Reduces pedestal cost - centre pedestal is not required
Prevents broken pieces of tile collapsing fully into the void by holding them together
Reduces risk of injury from falling through or cuts from breaking tiles.
Reduces installation costs – no centre pedestal required
Prevents damage to under tile services such as HVAC, plumbing and electrical.
Can be used on natural stone tiles or pavers
Can be cost-effectively retrofitted to existing installations without changing levels
SafePave can be added to ANY tile or paver, even natural stone, increasing the options available to you for your project. It increases the strength at the same time as reducing the sound transference through to the substrate.
SafePave reduces these risks by laminating a high strength, anti-vibration, reinforced protective layer to the underside of the paver or tile. This layer is strong enough to support a weight of up to 2.8Kn* even after the tile is broken.
Like toughened glass, tiles used in a raised floor or decking application can shatter or crack with even a small impact in the right place. This leads to the risk of injury from the sharp edges of the tile, or even major injuries from someone falling through.
Manufacturers of 20mm Porcelain recommend additional protection if the paving is to be installed over voids in excess or 100mm. A collapse of a single tile or a section of tile is dangerous under any circumstances. Even if the floor is only raised 100mm above the subfloor, that’s more than enough height to lead to sprained or broken feet, ankles, and knees. When the floor is suspended several feet above the subfloor, a collapse can lead to more severe injuries.
Ultimately, SafePave provides a balance of performance, safety and cost-effectiveness that benefits every project stakeholder and future user of the tiled area.
Why use SafePave?
Car on broken tile
We can apply the SafePave protection either at your site or ours. The process is quick and quiet.
How do I get SafePave?
Existing tiled decks or raised tile installations.
We will come and lift the tiles, treat them and reinstall. This process can be done without major disruption, as each tile is lifted individually and immediately reinstalled after treating. (a very quick process) The tile treatment is undertaken in the area that is being treated. No need to close a business.
New Tiles, Option One – On site
We will attend your worksite and treat the tiles prior to installation. (pallet to pallet). You won't believe how affordable it is. In some applications, it is even cheaper than adding a centre pedestal.
New Tiles, Option Two – Factory treated
Either have your tiles delivered to our facilities and we will treat the tiles and have them delivered to site, or, tell us the supplier, tile type and your purchase price and we will see if we can arrange it all for you. (You never know, we might be able to give you a better price for the tiles too.....)
