If it is a unitary surface, does the applied surface have a tendency to crack, loosen, or become uprooted from its footings with fluctuating climates or wear?
A. If the unitary surface is not applied with proper consideration for drainage and climate extremes, the surface can crack, buckle, or even break away. This will impose not only an accessibility problem as the surface will no longer maintain a level cross-slope but also a safety problem, as children may trip in areas that have buckled or fall in areas where the originally safety-tested product no longer meets safety requirements.
