There are two main fastening methods, for Deck Tiles. Most circumstances will either utilize Deck Tile Connectors or Deck Tile Pedestals.
Deck Tile Connectors
Deck Tile Connectors are very cost-effective and easy to work with. The Tiles are pre-drill ed with 3/8″ holes, in the corners. These holes are meant to be pushed onto the ribbed posts on the Connectors. Connectors can be screwed directly to concrete or to a frame. Joists/framing would need to be spaced at 12″ or 24″, on-center. The connectors are also scored on either side of all four spacers. Using a sharp knife, you can deepen these scores and break apart the connectors to change the shape. This comes in particularly handy around the perimeter of the coverage area. See the Installation Document below for more details on installation.
Deck Tile Pedestals
Deck Tile Pedestals are made by a variety of manufacturers.
These different pedestal types vary in cost and design. Brazilian Wood Depot offers the DeckWise Deck Tile Pedestals, for our Deck Tile customers who need them. These Pedestals are offered in three different specifications, based on the elevation and slope requirements. Visit the DeckWise, Altitudes Pedestal page for very thorough details of the three different pedestals.
You can use a standard skil saw blade to cut these tiles. Cutting them from the bottom will make it easier to avoid the screws. Remove any screws from the cut off pieces and screw them back into the desired cut piece where necessary. Then, you’ll need to drill new corner holes to accommodate the connectors. You can use the connectors as a guide to drill these holes exactly where you need them. Use an orbital or palm sander to ease the edges on the top of the cut edge to match the other edges.
It is up to YOU, as the craftsman, to read and understand all the safety manuals for the related tools and equipment and decide on the best course of action for your particular project. Wear gloves, mask, eye protection and other protective gear when working with wood and machinery.
