Decking Tile
Installation Guide
Easy – No Special Tools Required
You don’t need any adhesives, tiles spacers or grout or to lay decking Tiles.
Unless you need to cut the tiles to fit around pipes, posts or other fixed
features,

Step 01 – Prepare the Surface
Decking Tiles can be placed on most hard surfaces. However it’s important that the surface is as smooth as possible, with no bumps, large cracks, uneven areas or surface depressions that would allow the Decking Tiles to “Lock” in place. If the surface is particularly uneven, you may need to level the surface with some patching compound or filler. -
Step 02 – Plan Your Design
It’s easy to create unique patterns, designs and borders by using a combination of different tile styles. You can sketch your design on paper to try various design combinations. The possibilities are endless! -
Step 03 – Lock the Tiles into Position
Start by placing a Decking Tile in the corner of the area that you want to cover, making sure the two sides of the tile with the tabs showing are facing outwards in the direction you will be laying the tiles. Place the edge of the next tile without the tabs showing over the black connecting tabs so these tabs lock into position with the corresponding slots on the underside of the second tile. Repeat this simple “lock in place” process with the remaining tiles, working in a diagonal direction across your entire design. -
Step 04 – Completing Your Project
You can generally cut Decking Tiles where you need to fit corner, odd shaped areas. Filling in the gaps or spaces with medium sized pebbles, volcanic rock or other landscaping material are alternatives.
Decking Tile Care and Maintenance
- To remove surface dirt, just wipe with a wet cloth or wash with water using a sponge or a brush if heavily soiled.
- To remove more stubborn marks on the tiles, it may be necessary to use a mild household detergent.
- In this case, rinse well after washing to remove all traces of detergent.
- Do not use any oxygen or chlorine detergents or bleaching solutions.
- Any loose material in the gaps between the tiles can normally be removed with a vacuum cleaner.
- If necessary, the tiles can be hosed down or disassembled to clean under the tiles.
- Any cracked or damaged tiles can be easily lifted out and replaced with a new one.
- If a tile is broken, remove the broken pieces promptly as any broken fragments could cause injury or may damage waterproof membranes on the base of the balcony or patio (if present).
