Adhesive coverage is figured at 60 sq.ft. per gallon; the Aluminum Metal Clips are figured at 3.6 clips per tile. These clips are to be used specifically with Kid Kushion Tiles only (2 ?", 3 ?",3 ?" thickness), and cannot be used with any Ramp pieces.
c) Combination of Adhesive & Clips: Often times the Aluminum Metal Clips are used to hold all the Center Tile pieces together while the entire perimeter areas is installed using the adhesive with both one row of Center Tile, and the "Ramps" (perimeter pieces). The result is a surface that is locked together and "sealed" tight by a glued down perimeter.
b) Aluminum Metal Clips: Must be used over dirt and any surface that is not permanent or completely smooth. The best advantage to the clips is that if you choose to remove your Kid Kushion Playground Tiles from its current location you can; then move them to be installed at a new address. Also, it makes maintenance easier. Often times one particular spot on a tile will take a continuous pounding by children's' feet (i.e. bottom of a slide, spot where kids scuff the surface as they "step up" onto a structure). This tile will wear out much earlier than any of the other tiles, and you'll want to replace that one tile. With the clip system, it is much easier to do.
Adhesive: Our single-component adhesive works especially well with our product because the same bonding agent present in this adhesive is used in the Kid Kushion tile itself. It will not ever give out - of course, you won't be able to remove the tile intact either once you've glued it in place This is the most economical manner of installing our tiles, and of course most theft-proof.
