There are several outdoor flooring options out there and most automatically think slabs or wood/composite decking, but in recent years people are turning to alternative outdoor flooring options. So what options are there aside from the usual?
– Outdoor Carpet – this is not the usual bedroom carpet you would purchase, there are specifically designed carpets suitable for outdoors. Outdoor carpet is very short, low pile similar to what you would see in offices. These carpets generally come mould and mildew resistant with a self-adhesive backing.
– Rubber flooring – its durable, hard-wearing, slip and shock resistant which makes it a great option for outdoor flooring. It comes in several options such as tiles, rolls and playground flooring.
– Foam flooring – when choosing foam tiles for your outdoor flooring you must ensure you pick a good quality foam that is specifically designed to be used outdoors. Many of the low-cost options may not last long and will need to be replaced more frequently.
