Outdoor Hardwood Flooring
Having the deck of your dreams can become a reality. Modular decking tiles - real hardwood flooring tiles that easily interconnect together - are the next hot thing for do-it-yourselfers out to expand their outdoor living space.
Upgrading an existing deck, patio or balcony, is among the top five home improvement projects; it enhances a home's value and is cheaper than building an actual room addition. Yet traditional deck building has required homeowners to either layout a substantial sum of cash to have professionals do the job, or invest hours of their own time learning the skills needed to do it themselves.
Recently featured on HGTV’s “Red, Hot & Green”, hosted by expert carpenter Carter Oosterhouse, these modular decking tiles can make a beautiful "do-it-yourself" deck possible for even home improvement neophytes.
Each 12"x12" hardwood flooring tile is mounted on a high-impact polypropylene backing. The grid allows the tiles to interconnect together like children's plastic building blocks. 'They are so easy to put together, you can reasonably expect to invest 60 minutes or less installing a 100 square foot deck,' says the Director of Marketing, of American Pre-Made Patios, LLC, an exclusive national retailer of modular decking tiles in the United States.
The 1-3/16" tiles are made of beautiful, durable Ipe, also known as Brazilian Walnut (Ironwood). The hardwood flooring tiles are manufactured in 12"x12" and 12"x24" dimensions. The hardwood flooring tiles are imported directly from South America.
Besides easy installation, modular decking tiles have several advantages over traditional decks:
* No concrete footings or complicated support systems are necessary. Modular decking tiles can be placed over any reasonably flat surface - from an existing concrete patio, weathered traditional deck, or balcony, to screened in porches, basements and flat-top roofs.
* The average cost per square foot for traditional decking ranges from $18 to over $35 per square foot, depending on the wood, or composite material choice such as trex decking. Our modular decking tiles retail between $7.99 and $11.99 per square foot, depending on the style and material. Be sure to read composite decking reviews for the latest composte decking information.
* Once assembled, our modular decking tiles are as sturdy as a traditional deck. They can easily be disassembled should you decide to relocate your deck, or take it with you when you move.

* Because they interconnect together, our modular tile decking never has any exposed screws or nails, making them child and pet friendly.
* Cleanup and maintenance are easy. Simply hose off your modular decking tiles as needed for regular cleaning. Once a year, treat them with a wood sealer containing UV protection. We highly recommend Penofin.
* Our modular decking tiles can also be used to easily create patios, paths and posh pool areas outdoors, and as hardwood flooring in home spas or on apartment or condo balconies. Decking tiles can also be laid in three different designs: traditional, offset or parquet, to create a truly unique look.
