Types of Rooftop Tiles
You can select from among a couple of different materials for our roof deck tiles.
Rubber Roof Tiles
Rubber rooftop deck tiles yield significant durability while remaining comfortable. You can select between interlock tiles that are glued together or tiles that use a Quad Blok and adhesive to connect the tiles together. Tiles should never be glued to a rooftop membrane.
Rubber roof decking does allow water to drain after a rainstorm, even though the tiles don't have perforations. Rubber tiles are a good choice to place directly over a rubber roof membrane on a flat roof patio.
PVC Plastic Rooftop Tiles
PVC plastic rooftop deck flooring has a lower cost, less weight, and an easier installation method than rubber tiles. Although PVC is durable, it can’t quite match the durability found with rubber, though.
PVC plastic tiles can be extremely colorful, allowing you to show off your sense of style with the layout. Perforated PVC plastic tiles allow water to drain away. Some PVC tiles may require the use of furniture coasters for heavy furniture items.

- Maximize the livable area.

- Enjoy a variety of surfaces and truly customize these fun spaces.
