We have hot summers, cold winters, and a lot of snow, sleet, and rain in between. Any material you use in an outside space will be exposed to the elements and temperature changes; if your product is not suited for the weather or if it’s installed improperly, your installation will fail. We’ve seen broken tiles, stained stone, peeling grout, and excessive water damage result from bad installation practices.
Fortunately, we’re here to help you choose the right materials and utilize the proper techniques to create a durable outdoor installation.
To help protect your tile from future damage, you’ll need to include expansion joints into your installation. An expansion joint is needed at least every 10 linear feet, and an expansion joint at least 1/4″ wide is needed around the perimeter of the installation if you’re meeting to a solid surface or a wall.
The products we use is a sustainable, durable and virtually maintenance-free underlayment for exterior deck porcelain tile installations. It is a composite panel that is unaffected by expansion, contraction or exterior weather conditions.
