Quickly Resurface a Patio with Interlocking Deck Tiles
If your patio or terrace has begun to look rather tired, or you would simply like to give it a makeover to create an entirely new look, there's a now a way you can achieve this without any backbreaking work or enduring weeks of tradesmen traipsing through your home - and it can be achieved at a very affordable cost.
Interlocking deck tiles are modular tiles typically 12" x 12" in size which are constructed with a plastic base with locking tabs on all four sides. These tabs enable the tiles to be simply snapped together over any firm surface. So they can be laid directly over surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, old tiled surfaces, bricks and pavers and suchlike. And with suitable surface preparation, they can even be laid over bare ground. Click Deck for more details.
And one of the beauties of interlocking deck tiles is that they can be quite forgiving of cracked concrete surfaces. So if your old patio is suffering from cracks and minor pitting or other damage, you don't necessarily need to firstly repair the surface unless the cracking is so bad that there is a significant height difference on either side of cracks. In most cases, you can simply lay the deck tiles directly over the top of the existing concrete.
Another advantage of interlocking deck tiles is that the plastic base allows water to drain away freely from underneath the tiles. This means that the top surface will dry out as quickly as possible and will avoid any puddles from forming on the surface which could create a slip hazard.
