FAQs
How many tiles do I need for a 10ft x 10ft area?
Each tile covers approximately 1 sqft. For a 10ft x 10ft area, you would need approximately 100 tiles. It's always recommended to order a few extra to account for cuts or potential replacements.
Can these tiles be cut to fit specific shapes?
Yes, the composite material can be cut using appropriate tools such as a circular saw with a fine-tooth blade designed for plastics or composites. Always wear safety glasses and follow tool manufacturer guidelines.
Are these tiles slippery when wet?
The composite material is designed with a texture that provides good grip. However, like most outdoor surfaces, they can become more slippery when wet. Exercise caution when walking on them during wet conditions.
What is the thickness of a single tile?
Each tile has a thickness of 0.23cm (approximately 0.09 inches).
Can I use these tiles indoors?
These tiles are specifically designed and tested for outdoor use. Indoor use is not recommended as they may not perform optimally in indoor environments and could potentially scratch delicate indoor flooring.
How do I clean the tiles?
Regular cleaning involves sweeping or blowing away debris. For dirtier surfaces, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water, then rinse with clean water.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
No, the interlocking system is designed for tool-free installation. You only need tools if you plan to cut tiles to fit specific edges or around obstacles.
Troubleshooting
Tiles won't interlock securely.
Ensure the interlocking edges are clean and free of debris. Check that the subfloor is level and firm. Press down firmly on the tile to ensure a secure connection.
Uneven surface after installation.
The subfloor may not be level. Lift the affected tiles and adjust the base with sand or a leveling compound before reinstalling.
Surface appears faded after some time.
While resistant to fading, prolonged extreme sun exposure can impact color over years. Regular cleaning and an occasional composite-specific protectant can help maintain the finish.
Debris or dirt trapped between tiles.
Use a stiff brush or a thin tool to carefully dislodge any trapped debris. Preventative sweeping is the best approach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the ground surface is level, firm, and clean. Minor imperfections can be addressed with a thin layer of sand.
Begin laying tiles from a corner or edge, aligning the interlocking edges.
Simply press down firmly on each tile to snap it into the adjacent tile(s).
Continue interlocking tiles until the desired area is covered. Cut tiles carefully if needed for edges or around obstacles, using appropriate tools for composite materials.
Compatibility:
These tiles are designed for outdoor use on solid, flat surfaces like concrete patios, existing deck bases, or firm ground.
Ensure the underlying surface is stable and can support the weight of the tiled area.
While the interlocking system is robust, avoid installing on highly uneven or loose surfaces where tiles may not connect securely.
Care:
Clean regularly with a broom or leaf blower to remove debris.
For tougher stains or dirt, use a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers, which could damage the composite surface.
