Toronto’s Source For Balcony Flooring Products

At Designer Deck, we endeavour for excellence, consistently taking on new and varied tasks within the construction industry. To continue growing and building on our experiences, we prioritize staying ahead of the curve by striving to exceed our best abilities. We value the opportunity to face new challenges and are constantly seeking ways to become more diverse and our outdoor flooring products more versatile. Here are the core elements of Designer Deck’s approach:

• Our balcony flooring products are tailor-made to meet a variety of needs. With versatility in mind, Designer Deck’s outdoor flooring solutions have been designed to adapt to various applications, such as excessive sloping that requires additional height build-up and can sometimes occur on flat roof surfaces. As such, our collection of deck tile lines can be equipped with additional parts to overcome challenging scenarios.The most common surface type we lay our deck tiles on is called ‘Torch Down – 2 Ply’.  It’s really what most builders use today.  Depending on the finish of the substrate, it can sometimes have extreme variation that requires more attention than our traditional levelling methods.  This builder had homes with drainpipes on each terrace that were raised much higher than usual.  We tackled the issue by integrating our meshed levelling plates to create a more uniform surface, especially around these areas.  Our balcony floor tiles can be easily integrated with these parts if and where necessary.
• Our advantage over the competition is the ability to control every aspect of production from the initial design to the final installation. We design and manufacture our own products, allowing us to make changes on the fly in order to adapt to situations, such as height code restrictions.With no middleman or vendors to interfere, Designer Deck retains control over the entire process through vigorous testing to bringing our balcony flooring ideas into the marketplace. This allows us to achieve the hands-on approach we’ve built our business upon and the creative input that makes our products unique. Using condo regulations as an example, height restrictions around code can sometimes interfere with what type of flooring is allowed outdoors. Our product lines can be equipped upon order, with low profile wood risers that assist with keeping the overall height of the product as close to the foundation as possible, whilst still providing optimal water and air flow.
  
• Our condo balcony flooring can also be tweaked to work in extreme conditions such as areas that exposed to direct sunlight and excessive heat.Featured here, is an example of a 700sq.ft terrace installed with our Vivid Collection of Recycled Plastic (Wide Board) in the colour taupe. The builder was seeking a cost-effective but sleek option to finish a home he was in the process of creating and selling to an exclusive client. This modern balcony design collection of flooring is typically installed on surfaces 200 sq. ft or less due to extreme expansion with exposure to the heat. To accommodate, we released a new system of silicone bumpers installed on the tile’s edges and created a 3/8” gap between each piece. The customer was elated with the outcome, and it has held up wonderfully, even in direct sunlight. Our silicone bumpers can be added if/where required to curb this potential issue and mitigate buckling/shifting.
• Designer Deck is known for our ability to think outside the box and consistently push the envelope. We are especially proud of our Porsets tile line; a unique flooring solution designed to cover outdoor balconies, terraces and patios with porcelain material at a fraction of the cost. Innovative products such as this, make us an industry leader in problem-solving and new product lines.
  
  Designer Deck’s patented Porsets tile is composed of a proprietary support frame designed to accommodate a slim 3/8” thick porcelain tile rather than the industry standard ¾.” It can be laid on any surface, connected seamlessly, adjusted perfectly in height and is completely groutless providing drainage/air flow . It was designed, rigorously tested and patented in response to a trend with this emerging material being used in exterior applications. Most importantly, the product’s price comes in anywhere between $5-8/sq.ft cheaper than any competitive brand that exists to date. Learn More
