FAQs

Where can this product be used?

InstaDeck can be installed over gravel, dirt, concrete and just about anything you can make level. The ideal surface would be level and compacted. Preparing the surface like you would for a paver would be excellent but not required.

Can this be used over deck joists?

No, this product is not meant to go over existing joists. It is meant to be used on the ground – on a flat, level surface.

Where can I purchase?

You can purchase DuraLife InstaDeck Outdoor Flooring System from a local dealer or retailer that sells our decking products. Visit the “Where to Buy” page on our website and type in your zip code to find one nearest you.

How durable is this product?

InstaDeck tiles are made out of polypropylene. Polypropylene is thermally stable and does not expand and contract as much as other plastics. It also has other additives to increase its strength. Several thousand pounds have been applied to 1 square foot of the tile without issue. The InstaDeck tiles are also backed by a limited lifetime warranty for residential applications. Additionally, the compatible DuraLife deck boards provide the walking surface and cover the InstaDeck tiles, and they are backed by a 25-year structural and fade and stain limited warranty for residential applications.

Will there be issues with expansion and contraction?

Because both the InstaDeck tiles and compatible DuraLife deck boards are made from polypropylene, the product is very thermally stable and has minimal expansion and contraction. As part of the code approval process, the deck boards are tested at -20 degrees Fahrenheit and +125 degrees Fahrenheit.

What happens when water falls between the cracks?

The bottom of the tile is open which allows for air and water flow, and if placed directly on gravel or dirt, the water will be absorbed into the ground. Additionally, the trim pieces have holes to provide ventilation under the tiles, as well as openings between deck boards that allow for airflow.

Can this product be anchored down?

Yes, each tile has four holes to either stake down into soil or fasten with a concrete anchor on a slab. We recommend doing this in the instructions (which can be found here).

Is this permanent?

It’s up to you! You could leave it there forever or un-stake it and remove if you wanted to.

Can you make curves?

No, you cannot make curves or cuts with InstaDeck tiles.

Is it possible to “picture frame” using this product?

No, there is not picture frame options using InstaDeck.

If one tile breaks, would I have to replace the whole grid?

It would not be the easiest to do if the tile is in the middle of the structure, but yes, you could replace one tile if needed due to the Step-Clip Fastening System used with InstaDeck.

Can I use this product indoors?

DuraLife is the only compatible decking to be used with InstaDeck at this time. Like all composite decking, DuraLife is rated for outdoor use and not recommended for indoor applications.

Is this product available outside of the U.S.?

Currently this product is only available in the U.S. but coming soon to Canada!

Can I install railing on this finished deck?

Railing should not be anchored to InstaDeck, it should be mounted in a manner to ensure code compliance. For ground level applications a railing is not needed.

Can this be used on a rooftop deck?

We have not tested for this application yet, so it is not recommended at this time.

What is the warranty on this product?

The InstaDeck tiles are backed by a limited lifetime warranty for residential applications. See full coverage details here.
