Wood deck tiles are incredibly easy to install. Compared to a tradtional deck you will spend a fraction of the time building the surface. Modular deck tiles eliminate high square footage construction cost and give you a better result than a traditionally constructed wood deck. One great advantage to deck tiles is that wood bowing or bending with traditonal long planks is emilimated so every piece of wood stays straight and true for the life of the deck. No more twisted or cupped deck boards! The look is very differnt to a traditonal deck we belive the look has much more distinction and a true organic contemporary look and feel. The cost of the tile delivered to your home is the end cost per square foot. In addition you can easily remove them in the future to service or reseal the substrate or pack them up and bring them with you if you move.

With modular decking tiles, do it yourself home improvement has never been so easy. Anyone can give their patio or deck an amazing makeover in no time at all and the cost is only fraction of the alternatives.

There are no adhesives, nails, screws or special tools to worry about - the tiles can be installed over ANY even surface including concrete, fibergalss coatings, roofing membrane, old ceramic tile, old weathered wood decks and even bare ground (if properly prepared). No need for expensive demolition or removal, which loads up our landfills and creates waste. Simply re- surface with this beautifuyl and durable turn key decking system.

A few easy steps...

1.) Clean the surface prior to installation. If desired the surface can be re-sealed prior to laying down the tiles. The surface to the right is a typical dex o tech coating. Our tiles can be installed over virtually any surface, including concrete, fiberglass coatings and roofing material. You can even install these tiles over ground provided you have a compacted level area.

2.) Start laying the tile. It is recommended to start laying the tile on one side and work your way out to the edges. If dealing with an odd shape start with the edge that is most straight and work your way out. Use a rubber mallet to snap tiles in place by hitting the tiles gently on all corners. If the tiles do not snap in from the top easily, try snapping them in from the bottom of the adjacent tile by lifting that tile on to the other. You will get the hang of it after a few tiles.

3.) If you require custom fitting then you will need to modify some tiles on your final rows. You can simply cut the backing to remove the wood slats or cut both the backing and plastic together for a clean cut edge. We recommend the use of a jig saw for small cuts, a table saw for cutting tiles or a skill saw for corner cuts. Please be advised that you must remove the screws in the cut line so as not to hit them during the cutting process. In some cases it is best to remove the wood and cut seperatly and then re-screw the wood to the base. If your design needs a rounded shape you will need to cut across the wood slats. We recommend using a diamond blade tip saw for best results.

4.) Fit your custom tiles into place for the final fitting. It is not uncommon to install rectangular and square decks in a few hours. You will be very impressed with the time it took to install our product. The perimeter tiles are the only tiles in need of cutting.

5.) Seal the tiles with an oil penetrating sealer by wiping the sealer on with a soaked rag much like a stain. Clean the excess sealer up with a clean rag. Let dry and repeat process as this will increase the length of time the sealer will last. It is normal to re-aply the oil sealer 1-2 times per year. It is so easy and it can be applied quickly. Typicaly 100 sq ft takes about 10-15 minutes to oil.

We always recommend the use of tinited sealers as the tint acts as a UV protectant and will create a longer lasting UV protector.
