subject: 3 Fresh Ideas For Interlocking Deck Tiles [print this page] Floating floor systems have been around for some time now. These are the easy to install DIY types of systems you may have already seen in floor-show displays that use no nails or screws to hold them in place. It's where the word 'floating' comes from. So now the latest entry into the floating floor system marketplace is interlocking deck tiles.
These are flexible hardwood, stone or composite tiles that snap into place over an existing floor. Because there's no clue, screws or nails involved they're fast and clean to work with and just as easy to remove, make adjustments and reapply. So they're the perfect fit for someone with no previous carpentry experience and also a 'quick fit' for small projects around your home or business.
The pre-sized easy-fit edging and corner components trim to length and pop right into place, so creating an edge is no problem at all. So you'll always get professional looking results because the angle cuts on the corners are already made. Simply install the edging and then cut the corner pieces to fit and pop it all together.
#1 So your first idea for a quick and easy project is to delineate a teak-wood work area on the floor of your kitchen in the sink area. The wood is water resistant, so splashes are no problem, and it's an easy way to bring the look of hardwood to your kitchen to match your cupboards or counter-tops.
#2 The second idea is to use interlocking deck tiles to create an elegant more upscale entrance-way by your front door. Perhaps you have a concrete walkway that leads up to a concrete porch and you may have been thinking of an upgrade with perhaps ceramic tile. Interlocking deck tiles are faster and easier than ceramic tiles and you can do the project in about half a day all by yourself.

You can use them to create a wooden sundeck on a cement patio. Or install a teakwood entrance way leading up to the pool steps to keep people from tracking debris into your pool. Also they're wood so they're cooler on your feet than cement.
Don't forget because it is an unattached floating system, when wintertime comes they're is easy to un-snap as they were to snap together. So take you can take a project that you did with interlocking deck tiles by your pool apart and bring it in for the winter. Store it away to keep it all in pristine condition and then snap it back together when springtime comes back around.
