Outdoor Floor System® is a durable decking technology for placing porcelain, thin gauged stone, paver grade material or mixed media–i.e turf, plant beds, rubber pavers– placed in any orientation, uniform or mixed modular sizes, over joist framing on an elevated deck or waterproofed rooftop terrace on pedestals. It utilizes components that are inert to moisture and the damaging effects of freeze-thaw cycles. The permanently flexible adhesive, open joints and open, free-draining structural GRATEDEX® or elePHOOT® Deck Plank structural panels allow water to drain away from the finished flooring achieving a zero-maintenance decking surface. Whatever the outdoor living condition, Outdoor Floor System® has a solution.
