Abstract: Disclosed is a reinforced walkway system having an embossed walkway performance layer made of a polymer composite and a composite reinforcement layer thermally bonded thereto. The reinforcement layer includes a high temperature reinforcing composite which is thermally applied to the underside of the performance layer to prevent delamination and maintain the dimensional stability of the embossed performance layer at high temperatures. In one embodiment, the walkway performance layer may comprise any of polyolefin (TPO), Polyvinylchloride (PVC), and Elvaloy/Polyvinylchloride optionally mixed with other additives such as UV protection or mineral fillers. A method of forming a reinforced walkway system includes substantially simultaneously thermally bonding the performance layer to the composite reinforcement layer and embossing the performance layer.
