Are outdoor deck tiles approved for use on condominium balconies?
Yes, our tiles continue to be approved time and again for condo balconies, terraces and many other purposes simply because they’re well suited and specifically designed for these applications. The tile floats on concrete flooring or roofing material requiring no nailing, glue or screws. Furthermore, Modulette decking provides optimal water drainage if the surface has been graded correctly. If you have any doubts, we encourage you to check with your board before proceeding.
How do I determine how many tiles to order?

Upon arranging an appointment at your convenience, our knowledgeable and experienced sales executives will provide you with accurate measurements summed up in an approximate estimate if you should wish. If this a DIY project, we recommend measuring your area to the nearest even two feet in both directions.

Wood vs. recycled plastic tiles: Is there an advantage to one over the other?
Depends on your preference, but both products look terrific and require low maintenance. As we like to say, one is man made, the other is God-made. Take your pick! The recycled plastic tile does not deteriorate and will look as good in 10 years as the day they were installed. Cleaning is a seamless process, for you can simply damp mop the surface of the tile and lift them to vacuum debris underneath. The wood tile, which is pressure treated after manufacturing, is guaranteed for 35 years against decay, rot, termites and mildew. These will naturally weather, which is to be expected from any wood material that is exposed to the elements. Many people enjoy the rich patina look of weathered natural wood. Cleaning involves the same process. Have a look at our products for further information or visit the gallery for inspiration.
