Deck Tiles
Can trex deck be covered with ceramic tile?
I am looking at placing ceramic tile on an 8′ x 12′ 2nd story outdoor deck. Deck floor is composed of trex planks over wooden joists. Can this be done. If so, what is the best way to do this. My intuition is to lay down Hardi-backer floor, then tile over after laying flash. Any reason why this wouldn’t work?
My concern is if the trex would expand/contract, or if there are additional concerns that I’m not seeing. I am a novice here.
I would agree that putting ceramic tile over a Trex deck would be a mistake and you would probably have to eventually tear it all out. The key to laying tile is the underlayment. It needs to be flat and solid. In my opinion, Trex’s characteristic of wanting to expand/contract would cause problems with the tile. Even with Hardi board screwed down to the decking, you will not change this expansion/contraction. You might affect the direction. Trex naturally moves in a horizontal direction. With the addition of Hardi board it may change that movement in a vertical direction, thereby pushing the decking upward and cracking the tile.
