Outdoor deck tiles are used for various projects and purposes. Perhaps your deck is looking a little rough, but a full replacement isn’t in the picture. You could install rubber deck tiles to cover a deck, patio, or other outdoor surface areas to update or upgrade their appearance and to extend their life. They are also often used to surface an outdoor pool, play area, or even roof. Outdoor deck tiles are typically an economical surface solution, ranging in price from a few dollars per square foot of coverage to around $20 per square feet, with the price being dependent on the materials used and features, benefits, and application potential of the tile. They will range from 1 pound or less to about 25 pounds per tiles and ⅜ inch thick to a few inches thick.

Whether you’re looking for a standard black floor or a vibrant and colorful floor… one with a standard finish or one designed for optimum drainage and superior waterproof benefits, there are options to suit any design and budget preference at Greatmats.
