Choosing the Right Deck & Patio Flooring
The right flooring for your outdoor space depends on your existing surface, how you plan to use the space, and that wonderful Canadian weather that your deck has to handle.
Perfect Surfaces offers several deck and patio flooring options designed for different applications. Whether you’re refreshing a backyard patio, creating a comfortable outdoor entertaining area, or looking for a self-draining surface around a hot tub or pool, consider the needs of your space before making your selection.
Some important features to look for in your outdoor flooring include UV-stable materials, tiles designed to resist fading and distortion from temperature changes, and mould- and mildew-resistant materials.

How to Maintain Your Deck & Patio Flooring
Deck and patio tiles are designed to be low maintenance, helping you spend more time enjoying your outdoor space rather than maintaining it.
Regular removal of leaves, dirt, and other debris from your flooring surface is usually all that’s needed. For self-draining tiles, keeping the surface and drainage areas clear of debris will also help water continue to move through and away from the flooring as intended. Following simple care and maintenance recommendations for your product can help your outdoor flooring last for years to come!
Frequently Asked Questions About Deck & Patio Flooring
Can deck and patio tiles handle Canadian weather?
Yes. Perfect Surfaces offers outdoor flooring options designed to accommodate changing Canadian conditions. When choosing your flooring, look for features such as UV resistance and interlocking systems designed to accommodate expansion and contraction as temperatures change.
Do deck and patio tiles allow water to drain?
Certain deck and patio flooring options are designed specifically with drainage in mind. Perforated tiles allow water to pass through the surface, while other products incorporate drainage beneath the tiles to help prevent water from collecting.
What can deck and patio tiles be installed over?
Installation requirements depend on the product you select. Perfect Surfaces offers interlocking and loose-lay options that can work over several existing surfaces. Always check the requirements of the specific product and make sure the existing surface is suitable before installation.
Are deck and patio tiles slip-resistant?
Perfect Surfaces offers deck and patio flooring with textured, slip-resistant surfaces designed to provide traction underfoot. If your deck or patio is regularly exposed to rain, splashing water, or other moisture, consider both traction and drainage when choosing your flooring.
