Our outdoor tiling options continue to be approved time and again for condo balconies, terraces and many other purposes; simply because they’re well suited for these applications. Designer Deck's product lines and collections are designed to be installed on pre-existing concrete slabs (balconies), roofing material (terraces) and other sub-structure foundations, such as wood decks and more. They provide superior air flow and maximum water drainage, if the surface has been graded correctly. Furthermore, with no nailing, gluing or screwing required, they have become a popular and ideal solution to covering a boring surface, without impeding on building rules that may possibly be in place. Our products are also designed with low-profile measurements to assist with the following issues one might encounter.
Height Codes
It is important that you're are aware of certain factors which may possibly interfere with moving forward on a purchase. Height codes in Ontario for example, stipulate a required (minimum) measurement of 42" from foundation to the top of your railing. In many cases and with our years of experience, railings have already been raised to account for flooring that may be added at a future date by a homeowner. In addition to which, majority of condominium's completely overlook or disregard this small detail anyways. It would ultimately be the decision of the homeowner, if they so choose to bring this detail to management's attention. By comparing our product lines, you'll be provided with the dimensions of our deck tile lines and collections, including other useful bits of information to consider when making an informed decision on your purchase.
Exterior Aesthetics
Some building's also have strict guidelines with aesthetics; you may also be required to abide by the exterior colours that have been chosen and a condominium wishes to uphold. The advantage here, is that Designer Deck offers a rounded variety of finishes and product lines which are likely to fall within these limits. We'd recommend browsing this section of our website for a comprehensive overview of what we carry including available patterns, styles and finishes in each product. Our Porsets line for example, can be retrofitted with any style/colour porcelain tile of your choice (other than the colours we sell) to assist with this possible road-block.
We'd encourage you to check with your condo board or property manager before proceeding with a purchase. Designer Deck cannot get involved, nor do we take responsibility for what may arise around the possibilities discussed herein and after a product has been installed.
