How to Install Modular Outdoor Flooring Deck Tiles
Modular Outdoor Flooring Decking Tiles, made of Ipe hardwood, also known as Brazilian Walnut, can be installed over most hard surfaces such as concrete, existing wood decks, brick pavers, asphalt, rubber roofs, etc., either indoors or outdoors, in protected or unprotected locations. To ensure trouble free installation and long life, the surface must be as firm and as even as possible, with no major irregularities or depressions. In exterior installations, the underlying surface should slope slightly to allow water to drain away freely.
1.) Calculating How Many Decking Tiles You Will Need
One carton (10 tiles) will cover an area of 10sqft. Additional tiles may be required for cutting as spacers, if the finished deck is to fit flush against walls or other structures.
2.) No Additional Tools Required
Modular Decking Tiles require no nails, screws, adhesives. A handsaw or jigsaw may be required if tiles need to be cut to fit around posts, or pipes, or to trim the outer row of tiles in confined areas.
3.) Installation Step by Step
Place a single tile in one corner of the area to be covered. Taking a second tile, align the plastic connecting tabs on the outside edges of the tiles to be joined and push down firmly on the second tile close to the connection point. This will engage the tabs and lock the tiles together.
Continue this process adding tiles in both directions until the area is covered, ensuring each tile is securely locked to the neighboring tile.
Different patterns can be achieved by joining tiles so that the wood slats of adjacent tiles are aligned in different directions. To fit around pipes, posts, or corners, cut to fit using a jigsaw or handsaw, sawing through both the wood slats and plastic base. Take care to avoid the screws in the base.
When cutting irregular shapes, it is best to first make a template from a piece of stiff paper or cardboard. Make sure that cut slats remain securely attached to the plastic base with at least 2 screws. Extra screws may need to be inserted if any slats appear loose. (Blank screw holes are molded in the plastic base for this purpose). To provide a smooth transition between the tiles and the base surface, optional reducer strips are available which lock securely to the outer row of tiles.
