  1. Decking Tiles - An Option For Your Outside Space

  2. Decking Tiles are a simple and cost-effective solution to installing traditional wood decking and will transform your backyard area in no time. These tiles are usually manufactured from composite or wood and are especially suited for outdoor usage. By using deck tiles, you will not have to worry about rotting wood and other hazardous elements which might otherwise ruin the look of your decking.

  3. In addition to being highly durable, such tiles are also weather-resistant, making them an ideal solution for the home outdoors. When used in decks, patio, or poolside areas, decking tiles can resist heavy rain, snow, hail, wind, and extreme temperatures. They are also very durable when it comes to the pressure and weight of a family with children, as they are not easily damaged by sliding. Tiles are available in a wide range of colors, styles, and sizes, ensuring that no matter what your budget or preferences are, there is a tile to fit your needs.

  4. Decking tiles come in a range of materials, including wood, composite decking tiles, and synthetic deck tiles. The most commonly used materials for deck tiles in the UK are composite decking tiles, as they are both highly durable and weather-resistant. Composite decking tiles tend to be made from recycled materials, giving them a more environmentally conscious choice. Most often, composite deck tiles have a PVC backing which offers good slip resistance and comfort.

  5. There are several tools required to install deck tiles. Before fitting your tile, you will need the following tools: cutter knife, decking tiles - both regular and curved, hammer, screwdriver, spirit level, tile hook, buffer, and tile spade. If you are fitting your tiles on your own, you will also need deck tiles - both curved and regular, deck brush, garden hose, decking nails, spirit level, roofing nails, drill and trowel, chalk, rags, painter's tape, protective gloves, drop cloths, wire, and cable cutters. If you intend to buy decking tiles from a store, you should try out a few samples to check the quality of the tiles, as well as to make sure that they are priced and competitively priced.

  6. There are two main options when choosing decking tiles for your patio or deck: either the pre-finished decking tiles or the hardwood tile 6 slat 25mm thick variety. Pre-finished floor tiles tend to be easier to fit than the 6 slat option; however, they do require more time and effort to prepare the surface for installation. Installing pre-finished tiles requires a level and clean floor surface, as well as a trowel and a drill. Hardwood decking tiles require a hammer, saw, chisel, and soft-bristled rasp tool to cut the wood. You may choose to have the hardwood tile coated with a marine varnish to give it a non-slip surface.

  7. If you decide to go with the DIY option, there are many items that you will need. Most importantly, you will need the decking tiles, a trowel, a spirit level, a brush, garden hose, decking nails, spirit level, roofing nails, chalk, rags, protective gloves, and a drop cloth. The following items are a great option if you are going to install the DIY tiles on your own. These items are also a great option if you want to save money on professional fees and want to do the job yourself:

  8. When shopping for the decking tiles, you will see that there are two types: natural and engineered. Engineered wood tiles include those made of real wood. Real wood is more durable, but these wooden tiles may require some refinishing over time. Natural wood decking tiles include those that are free-standing and do not need to be attached to the house. If you choose to use real wood, make sure that you stain or paint them accordingly. This way, you will maintain their appearance for many years.

  9. Before installing any type of decking tiles, check with the manufacturer to make sure that they follow the right installation procedures. For the interlocking system, the nails used should be rust-resistant. In case of an unfinished deck, it is important to prepare the surfaces by cleaning them thoroughly and painting them with a marine varnish that is approved by the State. With proper preparation, you can enhance the beauty of your outside space without additional investment.
