ReFlex rubber tile:
the versatile pavers

Játszótéri gumilap és gumitégla

When you go out to the playground, by now it has become almost impossible not to step on rubber tile or rubber tile pavements. Resulting from their material (rubber and polyurethane), ReFlex rubber tiles are very flexible; and what is equally important, they preserve this property for a long time.

Due to their porous structure, they drain water efficiently. This characteristic, in association with their grained surface, makes them a slip-resistant and flexible pavement suitable for both summer and winter. Therefore, their undiminished popularity in playgrounds is no accident. However, the above-mentioned properties have made the use of rubber tiles popular in many other grounds as well, in addition to the applications in the playground.

Let’s look at some examples

Rubber pavements are generally favoured in sports grounds because they improve athletes’ performance while reducing the risk of injury and maintenance costs.

In-house occupational physicians at manufacturing companies have found that employees working on production lines can greatly reduce the load on the spine and joints when the company gets rubber tiles installed, in addition to reducing vibrations affecting the body; and this way they do their jobs with lower health risks and greater satisfaction.

Horse keepers have reported that horses with leg injuries recover faster when rubber pavements are installed in the stables, and maintenance costs are also reduced. In the case of stairs, especially in winter, the non-slip characteristics of rubber tiles come to the fore, especially where elderly people or small children also use the pavement. Moreover, rubber tiles are frequently chosen for patios and around swimming pools because they are pleasant to walk on barefoot.

In addition to rubber tiles, rubber pavements moulded on the spot (commonly known as Rekortan or Spurtan) are now becoming increasingly popular as well, and offer great solutions mainly for playgrounds, sports grounds, and patios.

As domestic rubber tile manufacturers, we have set for ourselves the goal to develop, for each area where the option to use rubber pavements may arise, a product that fully meets the requirements of the given application while at the same time it is aesthetically pleasing, and not the least durable.

We assume a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty for all our ReFlex and EquiFlex products, but the lifespan of some products can reach up to several tens of years, depending on the application.

Rubber tiles – Main applications

Poured in place rubber pavement

Poured in place rubber pavements have a completely smooth surface, with no grooves or fractures even when they are arranged into different patterns, given that the boundaries between the patterns become completely smooth at the final arrangement of the surface.

Did you know? – Fun facts from the world of rubber tiles

  • In Hungary 50 million tons of rubber waste are generated each year, most of which are used tires.
  • Rubber tiles form environmentally friendly pavements because they are produced by recycling these wastes.
  • One square meter of average rubber tiles consists of approximately 15,000,000 granules, which, if we could spread them out, would add up to a total surface area of over 180 square meters.
  • The term ‘rubber tile’ is used by professionals for larger sizes (50 × 50 cm or 100 × 100 cm), while the term ‘rubber tile’ applies to paving-blocks of smaller dimensions.
  • The rubber tile maker looks like a large waffle cooker. If we were to feed it with waffle pasta instead of rubber, we could cook 250 portions by a single baking.
  • The word “rekortan” was introduced into public language by means of a sports trail of moulded rubber, branded ‘Rekortan’, at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Assuming social responsibility: recycled materials

In today’s industrialized society, all over the world, no responsibly-minded company can shun the duty to reduce the environmental impact. We do our part to reduce the load on the environment by recycling collected rubber waste.

The majority of our products you see on the gumitegla.hu website is made from worn-out tires, which is milled into granulate particles, and then other waste materials are screened from it by means of a special procedure. Thus, a large amount of hazardous waste is turned into a versatile raw material.

In addition, about 50% of the electricity used while manufacturing the ReFlex rubber flooring comes from renewable energy sources.

The ReFlex-branded rubber pavements manufactured in Hungary are shipped to all over Europe. Thanks to their unique development, the ReFlex tiles, the Fall Protection Tiles, the EquiFlex riding tiles as well as the AgroFlex products provide a reliable solution for many years.
