For patios, old deck surfaces or other applications use the standard deck tile connector. Deck tile connectors are an affordable and fast way to place deck tiles when you do not need to create space under the tiles.
The standard deck tile connector is easy to modify for edge or corner use. Simply score with a box knife and break along the molded seam.
When there is a need for additional height under the tiles the Altitudes pedestal is the solution. The Altitudes pedestal can adapt to a wide range of height and slope conditions.
Altitudes pedestals can be arranged in myriad ways to make your outdoor or indoor space beautiful and useful. Hardwood deck tiles can transform any outdoor space into an incredible real wood paradise.
This is how you roof deck
Of all the ways to have a roof deck hardwood deck tiles are by far the easiest, fastest and, most cost-effective.
Because they are modular in nature there are distinct advantages to using hardwood deck tiles on a roof deck. If the surface needs cleaning tiles lift out. If there is ever a leak, just uninstall in the area that needs repair and then replace the tiles.
Tiles are constructed in a way where there is ample drainage space under the tiles, when you add the connectors or pedestals there is even more so you never have to worry about blocking drains or scuppers.
UV radiation is the primary stressor of your roof membrane. If Ipe or hardwood tiles are installed over the surface it is shielded from the harmful UV rays. This can significantly extend the life of your roof membrane.
The great thing is that it is also the most beautiful. Ipe or other hardwood deck tiles are easy to transport to the roof. It’s great if a crane is available if you have decking but, it’s nearly impossible to get deckboards to a roof. Hardwood tiles can be carried two at a time to the roof deck. There is no framing lumber needed, just very light plastic connectors or pedestals. Tile connectors are depicted at the top of this page but, if you would like to learn more about pedestals click the button below to be taken to the “Roofdeck Pedestals” page.
