Can I install these on EPDM roofing material or will it damage the roofing material?
Brandon Gallas
Deck tiles are not recommended to be installed directly over EPDM roofing, as any sharp pieces underneath the floor could cause it to tear.
Can you pressure wash it? How is it stabilized up against the side of the house?
Anonymous
You can power wash them and use a decking solution. Deck tiles are an overlay product, they do not screw into anything or glue down to anything. Its similar to putting a rug down.
How do you finish an exposed edge?
Sherry
On the sides that have exposed tabs, we recommend cutting the tabs off with a table saw or tile cutter.
Can these be installed on top of an outdoor gravel base?
Stan
For best results, we recommend installing our Naturesort Deck Tiles directly over concrete, but you can try to install these tiles over a level and very dense outdoor gravel base if you wish.
Can these tiles be applied over wood? If so, how? Is this product slippery when wet?
Anonymous
Naturesort Deck Tiles (8 Slat) can be installed over wood. When wet, these tiles can be somewhat slippery, but with these tiles being vented, they are more slip resistant than concrete or tile.
Can these be installed over an existing wood deck be? Would they be slippery by a pool?
Laurie
Our Naturesort Deck Tiles (8 Slat) can be installed over an existing wood deck. These tiles are vented so water would not pool on top of the tiles. They may become slippery when wet, but are more slip resistant than concrete.
these can be placed right over existing wood deck ?

These DIY deck tiles can be installed over any level surface.
can this be installed on old PT decking? will it cause dry rot?
ALBERT MICOZZI
Yes you can. It will not lead to dry rot but may cause stain.
My front porch is cement, about 10'X12'. Will your cover apply over cement?
Anonymous
These tiles can be installed directly over top of cement.
Are these squares slip resistant?
Anonymous
These tiles do provide some slip resistance and are better than concrete.
Can this hold the weight of a hot tub?
Deck tiles can support the weight of a hot tub, as long as decking is installed over solid, flat surface.
Can this product be used over grass?
Deck tiles should be installed over a level, solid flat surface. Grass is uneven and may not allow the tiles to interlock properly.
What tool would you use to cut/trim these pieces to fit?
You can use any type of saw.
Does it last through the winter? Is it ok with snow?
We have not had any issues with snow, but the dampness may be an issue.
Can these be used on a concrete pool deck? My concern is water pooling under the tiles and mold growth here in southern Florida.
Jason
Deck tiles allow for water drainage as well as air circulation underneath the tiles.
What percentage of expansion/contraction can be expected with temperature and moisture variations?
Gorden Shelp
The percentage of expansion/contraction is 0.2%.
it says 3/4 inch thickness, it that including the plastic backing or it that just the tile?
That is total thickness, top to bottom.
Do these tiles get hot? It seems to me that a deck made of these (or overlaid with these) would hotter than a wood deck. Thanks
MarsbarsCT
These tiles can get hot in direct sunlight like any surface that is outdoors. You can always spray them down to cool them temporarily.
Are the 12x12 deck tiles waterproof? Meaning if I install them over my second story wood deck would the water go right through to the first floor or not? If yes, what could I do between the tile and wood deck that would water proof without rotting the wood?
Victor Davanzo
The Naturesort Deck Tiles (8 Slat) are water-resistant and great for outdoor decks. Yes, you can install these over your wood deck. These tiles are vented so will let water pass through so you can simply place a plastic sheet between the deck tiles and the wood deck to protect the wood and make holes in the plastic sheet wherever you need the water to go through.
Do you still need to stain the deck under the tiles to prevent rotting?
It is always a good idea to stain or seal your deck to avoid rotting since moisture will cause your deck to dry rot.
For installing over wood deck, in one answer you say doing this won’t lead to dry rot. In another you say to stain or seal before installing in order to avoid dry rot.
I am very interested in doing this for my weathered deck on the south side of the house. 300 sq feet. central N.Y.
To avoid dry rot, we recommend staining or sealing your wood deck before installing our deck tiles over it.
