Makeover magic – How to remodel your deck or patio in less than a day
Of all the numerous home improvement projects which can be undertaken around the home, remodeling or enhancing exterior decking or patios has to be one of the most effective ways to accomplish a really noticeable difference to the look of your home. An attractive outdoor area can increase your outdoor living space, transform your garden and completely change the way you use and enjoy your home.
Wood decking has long been the premier choice for exterior relaxing or entertaining area but many of us just have a dull concrete pad and can only just yearn for the classic look of a solid wood deck.
But there’s now a solution which provides the luxury look of solid wood deck, can be quickly and easily installed in just a few hours, yet costs only fraction of the cost of a custom made wood deck – interlocking wood deck tiles.
These tiles are typically manufactured using the same high durability lumber species as traditional decks and can be laid over any solid level surface. The result is a deck surface that has all the
appearance and benefits of solid wood deck but can be installed by anyone in just an hour or so, with no building or carpentry experience and needs no nails, screws, adhesives etc. The tiles just click together for a perfect fit, accurate alignment and a secure and stable surface.(see for example www.ezydeck.net)
A select range of ceramic interlocking tiles are also now available which gives even more opportunities for attractive deck or patio makeovers. These tiles are designed to interlock precisely to the wood tiles, so for example you could have a central patio area paved in the ceramic tiles where tables and chairs are situated, surrounded by wood tiles. With the addition of some large pots, attractive plants and maybe a favorite piece of sculpture, that dull patio can so easily become a place you can again enjoy for many years to come.
