There are many factors to consider when selecting the type of paving for a patio, a balcony or a roof terrace, since one is planning on a long-term basis. Pavements form rubber grains have become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to their advantageous properties.  You can walk barefoot comfortably on the pleasantly soft surface of the ReFlex patio rubber tiles. Their porous surface provides for appropriate drainage in rainy weather or by the pool, making them safe to use because they are less slippery than traditional paving. The ReFlex patio tiles are made from recycled tire rubber, so they also contribute to sparing the environment.
