Materials and Sizes for Outdoor Flooring Tiles

We offer several different sizes of outdoor floor tiles. You can pick the size of product that best fits your DIY skills and requirements. We also offer several different materials to match the requirements you have for the outdoor floor tiles.

Rubber

Rubber is an extremely durable flooring material that offers a high level of slip resistance. People commonly install it in areas with heavy foot traffic.

Vinyl

Vinyl outdoor floor tiles can withstand water, sun, and snow. They’re ideal for retail or commercial locations where people gather, such as in hotels. Some people use our vinyl floor tiles in a tent when hosting dancing at a backyard wedding reception or anniversary party.

Foam

Durable foam tiles used outside usually fit well around saunas, pools, and hot tubs, creating a space that’s comfortable to walk on in bare feet.

Plastic

We offer both firm polypropylene plastic tiles and flexible PVC plastic tiles for use outdoors. Firm plastic tiles work nicely for tent flooring where you need to support chairs and tables. PVC plastic offers slip resistance and won’t suffer from water and sun damage when used around pools.

Carpet

Our outdoor carpet tiles can withstand sun and rain. Customers use them on outdoor patios and porches to increase the level of comfort in the area.

Outdoor Floor Tiles Q&A

How long will exterior tiles last?

The length of time exterior tiles last depends on the materials in use. PVC plastic and polypropylene plastic carry warranties of 5 to 10 years, and they could even last longer under the right circumstances. Rubber exterior tiles have warranties of 10 years or longer, and some products carry lifetime warranties.

What should I consider before installing outdoor tiles over a wood deck?

Before installing outdoor tiles over a wood deck, you should make certain the deck is structurally sound and can support the weight of the tiles. Additionally, the deck’s surface should be flat and firm, as severely loose boards or uneven deck planks need repair before installing tiles over the top.

How do you clean outdoor tiles of different material types?

The process for cleaning outdoor tiles depends on the material in use. PVC plastic tiles can be swept with a broom. You can rinse them with a hose, too. For cleaning rubber tiles, use a broom, leaf blower, garden hose, or mop with a neutral pH cleaner. Wood plastic composite tiles need regular sweeping and monthly mopping with water and gentle dish soap.

How thick are outdoor interlocking rubber tiles?

Several thickness measurements for outdoor interlocking rubber tiles are available. Generally, you can select from thickness measurements ranging from 2 to 5 inches. Thicker tiles cost more, but they are also more durable and provide extra fall protection.

How do I cover a concrete patio floor with outdoor tiles?

To cover a concrete patio with outdoor tiles, measure the space to cover and order the correct number of tiles. (The Greatmats customer service team can help you.) With the tiles in hand, clean the patio and start connecting the tiles, beginning at one edge of the patio and working across the space.
