Why Put Sports Tiles on Top of a Deck?
Outdoor sport court tiles feature many qualities that make them a desirable decking surface. These tiles are waterproof, so they’re suitable for outdoor use, and their perforations will quickly drain water away to prevent puddles from forming on the tile surface. They’re highly durable since they’re made for sports activities, but the tiles also offer anti-fatigue properties that can help create a comfortable gathering space. Keep in mind that outdoor sports court tiles tend to be a bit more rigid and not quite as flexible as deck tiles, but they’re still comfortable to walk on.Sports tiles are also available in many different colors, so you can enhance the appearance of your deck. While many of the colors are bright and bold, neutral options, including blacks and greys, are also available to complement your home’s style.
Installing outdoor sport court tiles is an easy DIY project. The tiles interlock together for a simple installation, and they can be dry laid directly over your existing deck. They can instantly create a new look for the space. Plus, since the tiles don’t require any adhesive to be installed, you can remove them again in the future if needed.
