Q:Would this be a good product to tile over a membrane roof on our rooftop terrace?
by|Feb 28, 2021
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: We do not recommend installation over a rubber membrane. The backing of the tiles will puncture the rubber. Deck tiles are only recommended to be installed over a solid, leveled surface. Such as a cement slab or wood deck.

Q:Can you anchor this down?

2 Answers
Answer This Question
A: Yes you can.
Suggest using a trim head painted screw. I used a brown color.
Place the screw in between the slates and through one of the loops in the backing.
Do nit over drive the screw lest it goes through the plastic backing.
I only screwed down very few because of high spots on the old decking.
