Interlocking Outdoor Drainage Mats

Patio Outdoor Tile is a great product to consider if you’re shopping for a drainage flooring system for wet areas. The tiles are 1x1 foot with an interlocking design. They have a non-slip surface texture that is comfortable on which to walk or stand. They are also fast drying.

These PVC tiles are a breeze to install over a concrete, wood, and compacted surfaces with their snap together construction and lightweight design.

Once installed, the resulting surface is a safe wet area drainage tile that is easy to clean with a mop and common household floor cleaner. It helps reduce the growth of mold and mildew.

These tiles are used in many areas, such as around an outside pool, and they perform really well as a patio floor covering.

They are tough and robust and will withstand the weight of heavy patio furniture without being damaged, and they will continue to look great - even if they're subject to regular direct sunlight.




StayLock Tile is one of the best drainage products available at Greatmats. It’s available in numerous vibrant colors, as well as black.

Staylock perforated tiles are easy to install over most subfloors or outdoor surfaces, including flat rooftops or home playground areas, without needing glue or adhesives. They feature an active locking connector system and raised design that allows the tile to “float” over a subsurface - indoors or outdoors.

Each of the tiles is 1 foot by 1 foot with a cushioned pedestal base. The PVC tiles have a 20 inch fall height rating, and they are slip resistant, waterproof, and of course, designed to allow for excellent drainage.

Once installed, these tiles will stay put - even if they are placed under pressure. They are a breeze to clean with vinegar or baking soda and hot water.
