Abstract
A method of installing a binder-based overlay system may include contacting a layer of geotextile fabric to a surface of a substrate and applying a primer layer to a surface of the geotextile fabric. Two or more binder layers including infill particles may be applied over the primer layer. A resurfacer layer followed by one or more color layers may be applied over the two or more binder layers. The primer layer, one or more binder layers, resurfacer layer, and two or more color layers may cure upon application to form a monolithic layer upon the substrate.
Claims20
A method of installing a binder-based overlay system, comprising:
- contacting a layer of geotextile fabric to a surface of a substrate;
- applying a primer layer to a surface of the geotextile fabric, wherein the primer layer adheres to the geotextile fabric;
- applying two or more binder layers over the primer layer, wherein the two or more binder layers adhere to the primer layer, and wherein at least one of the one or more binder layers comprise sand, rubber, rubber alternative, or a combination thereof within one or more of styrene acrylic or styrene butadiene;
- applying a resurfacer layer over the one or more binder layers and primer layer;
- and
- applying two or more color layers over the resurfacer layer, wherein the primer layer, one or more binder layers, resurfacer layer, and two or more color layers are arranged together within a monolithic solid layer.
