Tile Support System

NIC Plastics Tile Support System is one of the most economical and simple ways of laying roof or terraced areas. This High Density Polyethylene injection moulding and PS Foam, raises the paving above the spporting surface. Integral spacers of tile support ensure a constant 5mm gap between each slab/tile, so all water drains away immediately, leaving as "ever-dry" paved area. Add to this the protection the waterproofing membrance is given from UltraViolet damage and the temperature extremes. It is easy to see that raised paving will provide insulation to roof against extreme temperature of Kuwait. This raised paving will absorb heat by exposure to direct sunlight but transfer of this heat to roof will be very poor, leading to more comfrotable atmosphere inside home. As the paving is loose laid it is simple to replace damaged slabs or to inspect slab for possible waterproofing failure. All drainge outlets, services, manholes...etc., can be covered ovet to leave a completely unobstructed paved area.
