Resurfacing a Concrete Patio

Patio deck The easiest way of covering or resurfacing an old concrete patio is without a doubt to lay HandyDeck wood or porcelain Decking Tiles over the top. Its just a simple matter of snapping the individual paver modules directly into place on top of the existing surface.

There's no special surface preparation normally required and you don't need any special skills... or special tools...not even nails or screws. Just measure the area you want to cover, calculate how many tiles you'll need and you're ready to go. Everything you need to build your patio deck is right inside in each box of tiles.

Provided the concrete patio isn't excessively cracked, you can lay the tiles directly on top of your existing concrete surface. Small cracks are generally no problem, but if you have larger cracks where there is a height discontinuity of more than about 3/16”, then you may need to patch the cracks or level the surface with later of thinset or other suitable patching compound. If possible, tile joins should not lie directly over and parallel to any cracks.

With our EzyTile range of porcelain and stone tiles however, it's important to ensure the surface is as smooth as possible. If the tiles are allowed to "rock" on the surface below, they could possibly crack if heavy objects are dropped on them.

If you've got pipes or other obstacles on the patio, that's no real problem since you can cut the wood tiles to shape with a handsaw or jigsaw. And for the outer edge of the patio, reducer strips are available which just snap onto the edge of the outer row of tiles to give a professional finishing touch and reduce the chance of tripping on the edge of the tiles.
