    Koch Architects, Inc. Joanne Koch Yes it certainly does. This was a concern of my clients. There is no flex, even when an adult jumps on it!

    Koch Architects, Inc. Joanne Koch The tiles are made of Ipea hardwood. Given that they are small slats with gaps between them, there is not a problem with expansion & contraction.

    naottey Love these tiles. What company were these tiles purchased from? We have a 1700 sq.ft area would these tiles work?

    Koch Architects, Inc. Joanne Koch Yes, the Bison Deck Tiles need to be installed over a solid substrate, we installed these over concrete. They need to "float" above the sloped draining surface on their adjustable "feet" so that they have ventilation on both top and bottom.

    pkoko624 I have a question....we currently have an exposed aggregate patio. Our house is older and it was probably put in many years ago. The slabs are not all perfectly level from settling over the years. We were considering putting pavers or some other landscaping stones over the top. Can we just add a couple inches of crushed rock or sand or do we have to completely tear out the concrete. It's solid and in good shape, just unattractive.

    dkguenther An easy and less costly solution to renew old concrete patios and driveways is to use a special resurfacing concrete mix. This will fill in cracks, cover stains and level it out so it looks like new again. It bonds to the old concrete if done properly. If/when the surface is level you can apply a resin bond with pebbles, which is good around pools, on driveways and sidewalks.
