They make for great gathering places, can add safety to a playground, and are a must-have around pools and hot tubs.
In order for your project to be a success, you need to spend some time deciding on which flooring product is right for you. Many of the tiles and mats at Greatmats are designed for specific situations. We outlined some important questions you should ask yourself in order to help guide you through the process of choosing the right floor. As you move down the list, you’ll narrow down your choices until you find the perfect product for your project.
How is the Outdoor Flooring Used?
It’s possible to find outdoor flooring that is suitable for many different uses at Greatmats. The type of flooring that’s right for your project will be partially determined by your intended use for your outdoor floors. Think carefully about what you need Flooring Dubai for, the types of activities that will take place on the flooring, the types of shoes that people will wear while they are on the flooring, and other factors about how the flooring will be used.
What’s the Overall Look That You Want?
Think about the aesthetic you want the space to have. If you invest in artificial grass, you’ll have a different look than if you bought a pool deck or tiles. All of our products are available in a variety of colors and finishes so you can find the perfect solution for the space.
What Climate Will the Flooring Need?
A wide variety of temperatures is one of the challenges for flooring during outdoor use. Depending on where you live, your flooring may need to be resistant to very high and very low temperatures.
If you live in a place with cold winters, it’s important that you choose a product that won’t crack as ice forms in or on it, and that it can survive snow and ice. If you plan to use the flooring during the hot summer months, you’ll be happier with a product that stays comfortable, even when temperatures are hot.
Will the Area Be Used When It’s Wet?
It’s important to think about this aspect ahead of time because it adds another complicating factor to flooring. It’s important that any outdoor flooring is waterproof so that it won’t be damaged during rain. If you plan on using the area while the flooring is still wet, then you will need flooring that has a few specific qualities.
Drainage
A product designed to maximize drainage should be used because standing water on top of flooring creates a dangerous situation. Many of the pool surround tiles have drainage holes that can be used to quickly remove water from the top of the tile. The raised base on these tiles allows water and air to circulate beneath the tile’s surface. So the top of the tile is relatively dry.
Traction
When the surface gets wet, traction becomes a concern. Many of our outdoor flooring products are designed to maximize traction. With specially designed surfaces that help to keep you out of harm’s way.
Cushion
If a fall happens on the flooring, you’ll want to make sure it doesn’t result in serious injuries. That’s why many of our flooring products are intended for use in wet areas, like pool tiles. Are also soft and offers some sort of shock absorption to create a safer space.
In areas where they’ll be continuously wet for a good portion of the time. Pool deck products are specifically made to offer excellent drainage.
Need Cushion or Shock Absorption?
If you’ll be spending time with your family, cushion absorption and shock can make the surface safer and more enjoyable. A softer surface makes for a more inviting area, and many patio deck tiles are created with this in mind.
If there is a chance of falls, you’ll want a product that protects the fall height. Fall height protection refers to a product’s ability to help absorb or diffuse some of the impacts from a fall, helping to minimize injuries. The mats and tiles on the playground make the space a safer place for kids to play.
