ABSTRACT:
A modular tile for interlocking with other similar tiles to form a surface covering which provides a cushioned surface suitable for use in an outdoor playground environment which allows water to substantially flow thereunder for purposes of draining free from the tile. The tile includes a flat support grid having a top and bottom surface and including a repeating pattern of inersection cross members which are integrally formed with interstitial openings therebetween. A plurality of support legs are attached at the bottom surface of the support gird to raise the grid above the supporting surface of concrete or other material. Means are provided around the perimeter of the support grid to allow attachment of additional grids in an interlocking manner. A cushion plate having top and bottom surfaces is adhered to the top of the support grid to form an integral tile which cooperatively provides impact protection for playing children, as well as increased comfort, yet which enables flow of water and protection of tile structure against mildew and other water damage.
