Troubleshooting
Tiles won't interlock securely.
Ensure the interlocking edges are clean and free of debris. Check that the surface is perfectly level, as any unevenness can prevent a proper lock. Try gently tapping the tile into place with a rubber mallet if needed.
Area feels uneven after installation.
The underlying surface may not be perfectly level. Carefully inspect the base and add leveling compound or shims as needed before re-laying the affected tiles. Ensure all tiles are fully seated into their connections.
Surface appears slippery after rain.
While designed to be slip-resistant, very wet conditions can still pose a risk. Ensure the surface has adequate drainage. Sweep away excess water after heavy rainfall if possible.
Tiles have faded over time.
Prolonged exposure to intense UV rays can cause fading. Consider using an appropriate outdoor sealant designed for plastic or composite decking if fading is a concern, though this may alter the texture slightly.
