- Installing the Ikea Patio Deck Tiles. These are 100% plastic making them environmentally durable and requires no maintenance. They are easy to install and float over your deck similar to laminate flooring.
I used a mini hacksaw to cut the tiles, however I would recommend a electric jigsaw which would be much quicker and easier to make straight clean cuts.

I am a woman of 70 years at time of installation. I installed them myself without any problems. I live in Canada in an apartment building on the 17th floor. Harsh Winters and can be very windy at times but the tiles are still in pretty good condition after 5 years. Looks good and easy to clean. Very happy with these. I just removed them today as I live in the condominium and there is an inspection of the balconies. I am now soon to be 75 and have no doubt that I will be re-installing them (same ones) once the inspection is over. There was dust collected underneath the tiles but not that bad after 5 years.
That's exactly the info I was looking for. I was thinking about installing these and I was wondering how they would hold during winter. Great info.
looks very nice, i just ordered myself! looking forward to the finished balcony! :)
The balcony is gorg though! I could sit out there all day!
That looks great - and your patio view! wow
Thanks for sharing this helpful video. Your patio looks great. Like the fact these tiles drain since that will prevent puddles from staining the tiles. Have a nice day🌱
Thank you!
I just bought these. Cant wait for them to come!!!! Omg
Definite improvement....great job!
Getting this ready for the summer is my condo management allows!
Hi, wondering if I can install Interlocking Patio Flooring Tiles on top of existing vinyl tiles, thanks
Had the light gray ones from Ikea on my 5th floor balcony for many years. Worked out really nicely and it maintains it's color. Also is less dusty than the concrete balcony. The only issue I had was, if I didn't have furnitures on it, during high wind the wind gets underneath the decks and the deck gets blown around. Also the deck can get hot under the sun.
EVATUBE1 I have these and they make really loud noise when I walk on them. Does yours do the same? I’m not sure what I can do to stop it but it’s really frustrating 😣
Late response but to the wind and noise questions it’s because these are hollow moulded plastic tiles. You really want the solid wood plastic composite tiles and also install a rubber mat underneath to cushion and insulate against the noise
very informative and to the point. thank you!
Hey, how did these hold up? Do the gaps trap dirt?
You did an excellent custom job. I doubt mine would look that good.
Thanks for the compliment! Don't doubt yourself, just take your time and it should come out looking perfect!!!
Awesome video!!! I've been looking for a way to fancy up my patio :)
Best to opt for composite (WPC) deck tiles instead of these plastic ones. They look and feel nicer, are much more durable and won't lift up in high winds (they're much heavier).
Are these tiles skid proof?
Can water penetrate them?
Can water get underneath them from around the edges near the building or other deck features?
If water can get underneath are there drain channels?
Can accumulated water underneath cause mold problems?
Any update on how well they lasted ?
Does the heat affect it? can you still walk on it barefoot if the sun shines on it all day?
Can you use these for basketball court on the lawn?
Omg you are my hero! Hack saw from the dollar store! 😍
I think your balcony looks great! How are the deck tiles holding up, any issues?
Does the hack saw actually cut the plastic rectangle down? Or is it just to cut the interlocking under plastic connector?
My garden view so beautiful now...Ikea always make the good things
Sorry to ask are they work for back garden
I live by the sea so it's very windy and stormy sometimes. Is there a way i can fix these to the concrete beneath?
Good job!! Looks great!!
how slippery do these get when wet please ?
Hi can i put them on my garden outside and are the slipping when on wet thanks
Good job, how are they holding up?
Can you put these over grass? Or does it have to be on concrete only?.. want to put them down in my garden but not sure if it last me through winter
Hello,
I am interested in using these! I also have gaps underneath my railing. Did you find they stayed in place? I don't want to use an adhesive.
As a whole (i.e the entire floor), the floor can be lifted in high winds. However, from one tile to the next, they're connected fairly firmly and likely won't detach.
Do you take them all up to clean the porch
It looks great!!! 👍
How about warming thru the sunshines , means is it good enough in full sun weather , dark color absorbs sun energy wich warming it then ?
Looks good but What about the dust it will catch in few months in between those gaps? Do we have to take them out to clean? It might be hassle to clean.
What is the length and width of your patio? Thanks :)
Looks awesome!
can you use these inside ?
was it easy to cut the tiles?
are the piece difficult to cut?
Nice video!,, I don't know why some people gives dislike? i think they want the RUNNEN install itself
Probably because it's not a deck. Patio Covering. This isn't a good idea for a deck
Probably because he is using socks with sandals jajaja
It seems like they would get hotter in the sunlight than wood.
can the wind blow the tiles away?
what about the ring water underneath?
Great job!
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could put in between the tiles gaps to hide the plastic backing and to prevent dirt and debris from getting lodged in between the spaces?
You can cut off the "connector clips" with a hacksaw or jigsaw. Another option is simply put some decorative stones overtop unsightly areas. Dirt/debris is another issue difficult to get around bc it collects underneath the tiles and between seams. A shop vac is one solution. Maybe lift the whole floor up and sweep or vac underneath.
How often will you take the tiles up and clean the bottom/underneath of tiles?
I don't think it has to.🤔
is it slippery when wet?
Does the whole thing shift out of place like a big plastic mat or is it fairly stable?
It's lightweight and can shift from even high winds. However, it will stay in place if you have heavy furniture on the floor. Also, once you've cut the new floor around the railing posts, it'll essentially be locked into place (and won't move).
How big is the slope? Rainwater should easily run off the patio. A slope of 2 cm per meter is usually enough. That will allow the rainwater to run off into a drain or onto the garden or road.
Hi, there. I like your video, but I have one question: If it rains, will the water get trapped under these tiles?
Generally, no. Well, at least not enough of it to cause a problem. All condo balconies are graded (sloped) so water flows from the inner to outer borders. Pooling only becomes a problem if over 1/4 to 1/2" and is pretty rare on condo balconies. However, if there's a drain or drain holes, make sure to keep them clean each year. We use a shop vac to blow out debris from such holes.
Where do you buy this stuff
How much did you end up spending?
Wonder how they will feel when the sun bakes them.. looks great ....
...hot ☀️
Do they expand/contract much? I want to put these in my basement on concrete floor and wondering if I should bother leaving extra space between the tiles and the walls.
They expand a little under direct sunlight but in a basement would be very little. Always good to leave a 1/4 to 1/2" gap in general. In basement, 1/4" is fine.
@@OutdoorFloorsTorontoHome thanks. Installed these a while ago. They’re great
So how much did it cost?
Won't it slide in the opening and fall off?
I think you did a great job .It looks fantastic.please ignore the negative remarks from the really ,jealous got nothing better to do or say just sad ,bitter ,miserable ,people.
Theresa Heywood my thoughts exactly....sheesh 🙄🤐
Jealous? I believe most were just trying to point out some of the obvious flaws and understand what value those tiles have compared to just having a plain concrete floor. Then again I'm not rich so I wouldnt know how it's like to spend on something unnecessary
Edgar Gonzalez for me, my concrete floor was so damn cold to walk on. I live in a rental and got these as I couldn’t put down anything permanent. Solved my issue of cold feet and ugly old again concrete.
Niiice! Great job!
but how does it like.. stay on there when theres a heavy wind for example or when u put heavy things on em.. dont wanna sound stupid yk
great job !!
Can I put this over a wooden porch.
Great video. How did the tile fare over the winter? Any warping? Has there been any colour fading so far?
I always liked this product ... and I have the same question. How does it fare in the winter and extreme heat?
Although we don't work with these tiles (because they're inferior to other plastics and esp WPC tiles), I would guess they'd do very well in winter and will not warp because they don't absorb water. Fading is inevitable with all plastics (but not WPC) but is a very gradual process. The same can't be said with Ikea Runnen wood tiles. Those fade in ugly patterns and do so prematurely from sunlight compared to other wood products (acacia wood is not meant for harsh, cold climates in general and will need staining in 2-3 years). In summary, opt for composite deck tiles to get your money's worth over long run.
What stops them from flying off of the deck during a hurricane or windy day?
Your mom
You really think this will blow off on a windy day? Also really in a hurricane ? Their are worse things to worry about than a deck plastic flooring blowing away ! Are you some sorta Mongolian?
i suppose if there is patio furniture on top it will weigh it down
Thats also the 1st thing I said when I saw him laying them.... what happens when the wind blows ?? And he is how many stories up in the air...
How much sq ft?
How have they held up? Are they noisy when walked on?(creeks)
joeybagz46 I have them and mine are super noisy when I walk on them. Trying to figure out a solution.
How many did you buy?
Beautiful!!!!!
Was it difficult to cut them?
How does it look like after 2 years? Is it possible to put heavy metal furniture on the Ikea Runnen Deck?
Hi, nice vid, it looks so easy and effortless that I have decided to give it a try and install these myself. Just a quick question is it that easy to cut the tiles? Can I use a handsaw for wood?
Hi MickeySA34, it is quite easy like putting together a puzzle or lego blocks! Its very similar to laying laminate flooring, but easier.
The only difficulty is the cutting. I would recommend a jig saw with a fine blade over any handsaw. Your cuts would be much easier, cleaner and straighter with a jigsaw. If you only have a handsaw, a wood saw will not work coz the blade teeth are too coarse and would leave a rough finish on the plastic tile. Also the teeth on a wood saw are spread out more making it suitable to bite into wood, but it will not bite into plastic so well.
Use a hacksaw where the blade is fine tooth (any blade designed for cutting metal will be fine tooth). A fine tooth blade will leave a smooth finish on the plastic and cut more efficiently.
Hope this helps!
Sure does help. Thanks for further details.
We do not recommend these tiles because they're lightweight and have a cheap feel when you walk on them. However, if you're installing, make sure the smallest pieces are situated on the inside border (along sliding door) rather than on windward edge (to avoid projectiles from high winds). Cutting is best done with handheld jig saw on a worktable (to help secure the tile while cutting). Foldable worktables are cheap and incredibly helpful around the house tbh.
The best tiles to go with are not plastic but rather "capped" wood-plastic composites WPC. Avoid Ikea wood tiles too because they fade prematurely and do so in really odd patterns.
Wondering if they will stay in place with heavy rain or high winds? I love it! Let me know.
Mine do, but technically during winter months they have to be covered to prevent fading
donna dixon I have the pale grey tiles on a fairly large outdoor space, (about 14feet X10feet)laid on top of existing concrete slabs, with tarpaulin laid between the slabs and the tiles. Two winters later, there is no deterioration, fading or warping, nor have any of the tiles lifted up in high winds, despite UK weather! The only issue I have noticed is that metal garden tables and chairs tend to get a bit rusty and some of the rust drips down and stains the tiles. When this happens I apply Vanish to the stains and wash off with a stiff brush. I intend to stop this happening again by laying a piece of tarpaulin or outdoor rug under the table and chairs. Perhaps it’s the dark grey tiles which fade, but the paler ones seem fine.
Nice result. Have the tiles degraded much from the effects of sun weather?
These are plastic and will fade and become slightly brittle with direct sunlight. Composites are much more durable, esp. "capped" ones (hardshell cap).
How much for 1 pack of tiles please
2:06 "All Done" not quite --> Get a power jig saw and place two tiles around that round column.
More worried about movement as there are no stop ends
Very nice! Thanks
Looks good
I have these and they make really loud noise when I walk on them. Does yours do the same? I’m not sure what I can do to stop it but it’s really frustrating 😫
Cassandra de Lioncourt dont wear heels
Alex Enamorado I don’t. This is even when I’m walking barefoot on them.
Cassandra de Lioncourt maybe It needed something soft underneath before installing? For example the foam you install before laminate flooring.
@@cassdelioncourt Try artifical grass shockpad underlay. Might dampen the noise
@@Reb918... Does putting something underneath the tiles defeat the purpose of the tiles? They are plastic after all. Although, if you did put something underneath the tiles, it would need to be weather proof, UV resistant, and not be prone to causing mold.
Could you share where you purchased the piece? Thank you
Keep Sweet
Isn't it in the title?
Reading is beyond ppl these days (and possibly humor at the same time)
What are thy like in the sun? Do they get very hot? I wonder how they will be for my dogs feet.
Hi Sandy, yes they do get warm in direct sun light. My condo balcony is covered so it doesn't get too much direct sun only at the outer edges. So far it hasn't gotten too hot that I couldn't walk on it in bare feet, but if your deck is in direct sun and it's very hot outside no doubt it might get very hot. Even concrete gets too hot to walk on in bare feet in the sun!
YES! Much hotter than stained wood. A oint I missed in my scalding critique of this product..... p.s. J2W, it IS the product I'm bashing, love and respect to you, my human colleague:)
Black Opal I'm sure no hotter then concrete.. Could put some astro turff out there.
Black Opal, what do you think about the tiles like these that are made of wood? I hear mixed reviews. Some say they age after a year (color fade, chipping, and bottom plastic base erodes) others say they work fine as long at they are treated at least twice a year. Looking for something nice, economical, and easy to do since I will be doing it myself. By no means am I a pro. But, I'm tired of the dirt in my backyard...the soil is horrible and won't grow decent grass. These tiles would be perfect. I'd just hate to waste money on something that won't last more than two years. I'm renting and want something nice but not something expensive where I am adding value to a property that isn't mine. Any suggestions?
Hey Pearl. Imho...lol, did I say humble? The wood part is better, but I really dislike the tile system. And mostly I can not see any benefit vs many detractions. EXCEPT if you are in a highrise like this dude and lumber would add lots of time and/or effort to the project or is just otherwise impractical. The complaints about the wood are standard and the same list as the plastic ones but the difference is you can touch up the wood for its lifespan or replace it. And the eroding base will still be an issue, as would warping. Twice a year is not necessary and may even lead to excessive build up. You would have to treat it once every second year in average conditions. Brush and the can, won't be concerned with splashing or evenness, just slap that lear coat on there fast as you can and your good.( best to wash it first, with a push broom and hot soapy water) Which brings us to your project...
Too many questions; Where are you? Freezing temps, precipitation etc.? Exposure(N, E, W, S)? Costs when reconsidered with ownership cost, longevity and enjoyment/usefulness often present a different outlook. And I'm not even sure if the tiles or lumber would be cheaper up front. What size area are you working with? How high off the ground is your door kicker? Does the deck touch the house on 1 or 2 sides. If it's ground level, do you need a deck? Would a concrete slab work in the space? If it would then there are a few materials that could do the job DIY without paying for a concrete pour or contractor. But if we're doing a deck almost always lumber will be a better option for most concerns.... Picture laying 2 beams parallel like train tracks but a little further apart. Now go down the line screwing a plank/board on both ends perpendicular from beam to beam. After a few feet say 6-8 planks do you see the strength? Keep going, 12 feet long tracks, like a pier... solid as fuk, right? It would hold the same shape if you picked it up and ran an obstacle course. Now put two rows of tiles all snapped together 12 feet long... Do you see the weakness? If you just picked it up it would bend and wave and sag like a dead snake and probably break in the center.. Wooden beams will never erode, warp or crack, if they are secure your whole deck will be the same for 30yrs(if you use screws vs. nails, and the correct screws) no matter where you live. For the boards if you used cedar or teak(you won't use teak, $$$) it would do so for 30 years without you ever touching it. It will be grey though. Anything else or if you don't want grey you will have to top coat the boards with a tinted protector once every second year. High traffic, sun exposure, heavy rain/sleet/snow/hail, animals(wild and pets), furniture, weather, temps plus others, all affect the length of time the protector coat will last. But it's not magic, it happens the same as anything that gets worn down, just common sense. That's why we like to buy cars from Arizona or why the roads are so nice there or Vegas. But that protective layer of transparent paint is basically the same dynamics as the whole deck made out of plastic tiles. But when it starts to degrade you can maintain them. Keep the wood dry but not dried out and it will sit there forever. True of the wood tiles also, but those have a frame made of plastic and will give way to pressure every 12" leaving you with a flying carpet shaped deck suitable for the funhouse. And whether eroded or just weakened when a clip cracks or breaks the tile will lift up this corner, that corner. Becomes tripping hazard and ugly. With wood you screw er back down and keep enjoying life. Also other commenters have pointed out some other problems such as debris build up underneath.... Actually now I am curious what the max payload is for a 10 x 10 square platform made from those tiles. probably less then a jolly jumper,lol.
p.s. get your landlord to pay formaterials, you give free labor. Most will do this or at least part of it
Good Luck! Peace to All
Can this be attached to the floor?
Saravana Palani Use an adhesive.
Good job!
Damn i want to have this
My concern is that they can lift up - is there anything securing them to the ground?
it's the concept of a floating floor. it won't move with sufficient surface area covered.
As long as there’s furniture on them, they won’t fly away or jostle.
Hi I haven’t a clue about DIY can I ask how many are in a package how do I know how much to get sorry my husband died 2 years ago he did all this my deck is getting bad and I don’t want the kids to fall. These look perfect thanks
Nine in a package :) all the best with your project!
Get a good breeze in the right direction and away they go... a nice heavy all weather chair and table as just added a good hundred or so dollars to that project....
roblex63 my place is super windy and never had an issue once with them lifting.
What are the dimensions of your patio?
It's about 8'x8'.
If you don’t mind me asking , you said You needed 7 boxes , How much did it cost all together
... 7 times the cost of each box for which the price can be found on the IKEA website. Yes, a blunt, but true answer. Is it really that hard to look up items when you know where they come from? 😔
K03sport wow someone pissed in your Cheerios
I am thinking of getting it for my garden, but not sure if it is a good idea as it is made from plastic ..
Not wanting to break it. But it looks great!
I’ve had them for 4 years in a UK winter and they still look good. The wind has not lifted the sides of them either. Any debris which gathers between them is soon blown away by the wind or you can sweep them occasionally. I’ve never had to lift them. Mine are on a large outdoor patio area to hide ugly cement slabs. I put tarpaulin over the slabs before laying the tiles.
Hi, can I please ask - what is the reason for laying the tarpaulin?
how many square feet is your deck? trying to figure out how many boxes ill need.
9 pieces in a box. He used 7. So less than 63 sq feet. Measure you patio. Multiple the length in feet × the width in feet. You'll get your personalized amount
But why? Why lay these tiles?
They look very good. Do they become slippery when wet?
Not really. The plastic surface is a little textured so they become no more slippery than say if you got laminate flooring wet.
Do people actually run on their balcony in the rain? What? Huh?
Nice deck! Just wondering how's the materials been holding up since the installation? Do u still recommend it? Any pros or cons? Thx
I'd like to know that to
We used them for our outdoor patio too. It's been one year and still looks brand new. They're great quality. I even put fully loaded 20 gallon potted plants on it and that didnt do any damage. Totally awesome tile and highly recommended!
Can I install these tiles directly on the grass?
Sorry to ask yet another Q lol, once you completed the area did you find any movement? i have a toddler like any toddler likes to run around no more Q now lol x
@@sumbalfahad3629 I would not recommend that. It will be more stable on firm ground. Also the grass might grow through the tiles.
But why?!?
Nice work! Looks very smart. Is it slippery if rained on?
How to clean dirt that will go through those big gaps
Anthony Smith ?
Installing these on my moms back porch 🙂
Thanks!
I've watched about 4 guides and this is the first one I've seen that bothers to show the cutting step. he uses a hand saw, but I notice at the end not all edges are done to perfection. maybe cutting is more effort than it's worth and that's why he didn't.
hi, I just wondered what's the size of your patio? thanks for letting me know
I LOVE IKEA
