What Are The Best Rubber Roof Pavers?

A roof paver system is one of the most common and popular roofing solutions for home and commercial settings. They protect a roof from weather elements, and they add some functional design and aesthetic appeal to the overall look of a house or building. Most products that make up a rubber roof paver system can be used for different applications - like outdoor playgrounds, patios, decks, and flat roofs. They combine durability, performance, and protection, as well as level and safe footing.

The best rubber roof pavers at Greatmats range in pricing from around $9 per square foot to $17 per square foot. Among the best on the market are the following products at Greatmats:

Sterling Roof Paver System Products

Sterling rubber roof pavers are suitable for countless applications. Prior to thinking about the install process, it’s important to make sure that the rubber rooftop membrane is in good condition. It's important to note that the tiles are glued to each other, but never directly to the roof membrane. Gluing tiles to the roof membrane can cause damage to the membrane and may void the warranty.

The 2-inch Sterling Rooftop Tile is a commercial-grade, interlocking rubber tile product with border edging. It’s designed to allow water drainage under the tiles, making it one of the best outdoor rubber roof pavers available anywhere. Made from recycled rubber buffings or crumb rubber from automotive tires, it’s even a green, eco-friendly product that contributes to LEED points.

Installing this paver system can be done without gluing them down, as they are simply glued to each other at their interlocking tabs. The resulting surface can hold patio furniture, endure foot traffic, and provide a living space. This makes the product ideal for commercial installations, such as condos or office buildings. It is extremely durable, nonabsorbent, and aside from gray, it is available in black, terra cotta, green, blue, and brown with matching colored corner ramps and borders.

The high-quality manufacturing process that creates this product is second to none, which is why countless consumers have installed it for patio flooring, rooftop flooring, golf courses, deck surfaces, outdoor flooring, and more. Each tile is 2 feet by 2 feet, providing 4 square feet of coverage. They are also 2 inches thick. This product features a Shore A 60 hardness and a smooth, flat finish. When it’s time to clean the roof pavers, just use hot water and a neutral pH cleaner, or simply hose it off.

This paver system carries a limited lifetime warranty. The gray, terra cotta, green, brown, and blue tiles are all approximately $40 each, which equates to roughly $9 per square foot. The black tiles are approximately $35 each.



The Sterling Rooftop Tile 95% Premium Colors are pavers that also make up one of the best outdoor rubber surface systems. Like the other Sterling tiles, these are also 2 feet by 2 feet and 2 inches thick and are suitable for use as pavers on patios, terraces, and roofs. They are used as patio flooring, rooftop flooring, golf course decking, deck surfaces, outdoor flooring, and more. They can be used as an overlayment for built-up and single-ply membrane roofing systems for residential and commercial settings.

These Sterling tiles feature the same interlocking technology as the others, and they are very resilient and have 95 percent EPDM wear layer. They will not be damaged by freezing temperatures or extreme sunlight. They weigh 24 pounds each, and they will lay flat over time. They provide a slip-resistant surface and add a layer of comfort to concrete patios.

Blue Sky Rubber Paver System Products

The Blue Sky Paver System options are made in the USA for outdoor flat roof deck applications and playground installations. They combine beauty, functionality, and ease of installation. They can be installed over any flat, firm surface - even fragile waterproof roof membranes. They are designed to allow water to freely flow underneath them.

Max Playground Tile is perfect for a rooftop or playground area that is large or small. It provides a high-traction, non-slip surface that has an ASTM F1292 fall height rating.

Each paver tile weighs 24 pounds and measures 2 feet by 2 feet with 2.5 inches of thickness. With a unique installation system, the Quad Blok connectors connect the corners of 4 tiles together underneath. Over a rubber roof membrane, the Quad Bloks can be glued to the tiles without adhering the tiles to the membrane, essentially creating a floating floor.
