For a rectangular or square space, simply to measure the length and width of the area. Multiply these numbers (i.e. 5 x 6m) to get your area in m2. Each composite decking tiles measures L 300mm x W 300mm with each box of 11 tiles (Each box is 1 Square Meter). Each individual tile is 0.09m2.

The area I wish to tile is circular and not rectangular. Can the tiles be cut shape?

Sure if necessary, Tiles can be easily cut using a jigsaw or any type of saw. Our composite decking tiles are designed as an easy DIY decking area for customers who want the look of traditional decking but without the hassle. If you have good DIY skills, you can use a jigsaw to cut the decking tiles to fit around an obstruction, but we wouldn’t recommended cutting the tiles to create a circular area as this would impact the stability and performance of the product, reduce the point of interlocking and would not enable you to use the ramp edge or corner edge to complete your design.  If you are not confident in using hand tools, you can always add a few decorative stones to finish off any leftover areas, such as around a drainpipe.

Do WPC decking tiles need a base?

The decking tiles have an integrated base with drainage holes and don’t need to be installed on top of joists or bearers. The requirement for laying our composite decking tiles is a flat, relatively hard and even surface. Concrete patios, an existing stone patio, old existing decking or other hard surfaces are an ideal place to lay deck tiles because they are stable and durable. The decking tiles won’t interlock when laid on uneven surfaces, so you must be sure to fix any underlying issues before starting.  Installing decking directly over dirt or grass isn’t recommended.

Our composite decking tiles have in-built anti-slip features and textured surface, making them safe for use in all outdoor environments. The composite decking tiles do not absorb any significant water, so you can be confident that they’ll be safe to walk on in all weathers. Our WPC tiles have undertaken slip rating tests and is found to have an R12 anti-slip rating, which is considered safe for dry and wet environments. Thus, WETRADE TILES can be installed around the swimming pool and other high-slip areas, creating a safer family environment.

Can I put decking tiles on grass?

We do not recommend installing Deck Tiles directly onto grass or bare earth directly as a long term solution as within a few weeks you’d be likely to see weed growth or new grass coming up between the surface planks of the tiles.
