MAJOR BENEFITSMAJOR BENEFITS

• Precision Performance

• Maximized Drainage

• Installation Friendly

• Reduced Installation Time

• Minimized Base Cost

7

PRECISION PERFORMANCEPRECISION PERFORMANCE

• Surface Consistency

Uniform surface…anywhere

64 squares conform to surface

No “bridging”

8

PRECISION PERFORMANCEPRECISION PERFORMANCE

• Exceptional Load Bearing Capacity

Max load at yield is 164 psi 4.3 times greater than competition

Design safety factor of 2.7 Competitor is 0.62…not much safety

1,088 legs and roman arches Support and distribute stresses Delivers long term performance

PRECISION PERFORMANCEPRECISION PERFORMANCE

• Thermal Expansion and Contraction

PDS Tile will install flat in “heat”

224 thermal “u” joints per 2x2 tile Bi-directional 0°-90°

“Slack” in “Smart Clip” Bi-directional Ensures easy assembly

11

PRECISION PERFORMANCEPRECISION PERFORMANCE

• Tri-Axial Design

0°/ 90°/±45° resists bending and twisting

Grid holes less than 9/16” wide Eliminates “dip” causing gaps by 77%

• Turf Grip

18 Small “bumps” per small square

Edges of Tri-axial design

Infill acts as ballast

Turf stays in place. Sure footed.

MAXIMIZED DRAINAGEMAXIMIZED DRAINAGE

• Maximized Volume Voids

• Unequalled Vertical Permeability

• Unparalleled Horizontal Transmissitivity

• Outstanding Support

13

MAXIMIZED DRAINAGEMAXIMIZED DRAINAGE

• Maximized Volume Voids

PDS tile has 84% volume voids It’s more about what’s not there

Typical competitive product has 35%

PDS tile guarantees drainage

14

MAXIMIZED DRAINAGEMAXIMIZED DRAINAGE

• Unequalled Vertical Permeability

PDS tile has 71% surface voids

Ensures water flow through turf/tile

PDS tile never holds back water

15

MAXIMIZED DRAINAGEMAXIMIZED DRAINAGE

• Unparalleled Horizontal Transmissitivity

Optimized number of legs Ensures horizontal flow

Optimized leg ht Maximizes below tile volume

Lab tested (ASTM) PDS tile drains 153 times better than

competitive product

All this…in a low profile ½” design

MAXIMIZED DRAINAGEMAXIMIZED DRAINAGE

• Outstanding Support

1,088 legs 1.93 legs/si 19% leg area/si No load concentration Better than a bed of nails!

Leg Beveling Smooth “edges”

Added radii to bottom of legs

INSTALLATION FRIENDLYINSTALLATION FRIENDLY

• Lightweight design 1.468 lbs for 3.92 sf of tile Easy to handle, speeds up install Easy to cut

• 8 “Smart Clips” Provide firm positive lock

• Beveled “teeth” in clip Allows for easy tile removal

• Small rotation in Smart Clips Installer can roll up the tile Temporarily place it aside if required

PDS TILE - TECHNICAL SUMMARYPDS TILE - TECHNICAL SUMMARY

Feature Value BenefitWeight Lightweight @ 1.468 lbs for a tile Easier to handle. Truck = one field

Field Conformance 64 small squares Conforms locally to field

Tri-axial design 0°/90°/±45° supports Resist bending and twisting

Smart Clip Easy to clip. Addresses expansion. Installer friendly. Easy to reposition.

Surface Dimensions 23.76” x 23.76” Tile efficient. Less for a field.

Tile Ht Remains ½” Low profile.

Leg Ht 0.328” Maximizes horizontal drainage.Added radii to bottom of legs

Roman Arches Optimized design Supports and distributes stresses

Vertical Flow: Permeability Surface Voids 71% Maximizes vertical drainage.

Horizontal Flow: Transmissitivity Volume voids – 84% Maximized volume under tile

Maximizes horizontal drainage.

Compression 164 PSI “Right spec.” Safety design factor 2.7

Thermal Expansion Joints 224 bi-direction “u” joints per tileSmart Clip has bi-directional “slack”

Easy install.Tiles expand & contract

Turf Grip 18 friction bumps. Friction with ribs. Improved turf grip. Sure footed.
