Dalsouple ‘Dal-lastic’
External floor tiles, recyled rubber fibre
‘Dal-lastic tiles provide a safe walking surface, absorb impact and sound, and are fully self-draining. They feel soft, warm and comfortable even under bare feet, offering and innovative and attractive alternative to wood, stone or ceramics. The recycled rubber content makes them an environmentally friendly choice. All colours are UV stabilised.
The tiles are normally loose laid, with invisible interconnecting joints, although the thinner qualities are bonded to the sub-floor.
Dal-lastic is made from 100% recycled rubber fibre bound with coloured polyurethane resin in natural earthy tones to blend with the external environment.’
