SafePave Installation

SafePave™ - Original

SafePave™ - Original is a specially designed tape that is applied to the whole tile. The SPO-300bt is available in separate sheets or as a roll.

It is essential the tile is clean, dry and dust free prior to application of the tape. The tape must be firmly rolled to ensure 100% adhesion.

Option One: Heat Press application - best for new tiles.

• Lay the tile upside down (tile face to bottom) on the heat press bench.

• Clean Tile

  • Clean and dry the underside of the tile using the SafePave cleaning fluid and a microfibre cloth. Ensure the tile has no dust or moisture etc. that may impact the adhesion of the tape. If using alternative cleaning liquids, ensure they do not leave a residue. Test on a small section first. The SafePave cleaning fluid has been tested with the system and is designed to dry quickly and leave no residue.

• Peel the protective layer from the SPO-300bt and carefully place it on the tile.

• Lower the heat press on to the tile as per the press instructions.

• Once the press has finished its timed sequence, Use a hand roller to press the tape firmly on to the tile. The press will have melted the adhesive but it will still require a hand roll to push the tape into all the recesses on the back of the tile.

• Remove the tile from the press and install or stack. If stacking, stack with the tape on the underside.

Option Two: Hand application - For retrofitting or when there is no heat press.

• Lift tile from installed location

• Place on a flat surface with underside facing up

• Clean Tile

  • Clean and dry the underside of the tile using the SafePave cleaning fluid and a microfibre cloth. Ensure the tile has no dust or moisture etc. that may impact the adhesion of the tape. If using alternative cleaning liquids, ensure they do not leave a residue. Test on a small section first. The SafePave cleaning fluid has been tested with the system and is designed to dry quickly and leave no residue.

• Peel the protective layer from the SPO-300bt and carefully place it on the tile.

• Use a hot air gun or heated trowel to heat the tape and melt the adhesive. Use a hand roller at the heated section to press the tape firmly on to the tile.

• Remove the tile and either install it or stack it for future use. If stacking, stack with the tape on the underside.

SafePave™ - Stone

SafePave™ - Stone is a 5mm thick rigid board with a patented flexible tape applied to one side. The board and tape create a composite that has both a flexible and rigid surface which helps absorb impact at the same time as providing the additional support, natural stone needs.

It is essential the tile is clean, dry and dust free prior to application of the board. Test a small section first as some tiles may require sealing to ensure adhesion.

Step Two: Install SafePave - Stone (SPS-300pst)

• Lay the tile upside down (tile face to bottom) on a flat surface

• Clean and dry the underside of the tile using the SafePave cleaning fluid and a microfibre cloth. Ensure the tile is clean, dry and dust free so that adhesion of the board is not compromised.

  • Test a small section first with the test piece provided. If necessary, the underside of the tile may require sealing to ensure full adhesion.

• Peel the protective layer from the rear of the board and place it on the tile lining up each edge.

• Apply even pressure to the board for 15 seconds.

• Remove the tile and either install it or stack it for future use. If stacking, stack with the tile surface facing up.
