give you footing
Lay first
board here
Place TI.PROBOARD™on the joists.
Screw the first TI-Proboard (with the slot)
in from the edge of the deck frame. IT IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THE
FIRST BOARD IS STRAIGHT AND SQUARE.
Measure and use a chalk line. Continue by
interlocking each board to the next, and
screw TI.PROBOARD™down on each joist.
White dots indicate suggested screw placement.
Put screws on each
side of seams

We recommend using a wet saw when
cutting TI.PROBOARD™
Protective/decorative edging.
TI.EDGING™ provides a protective and
decorative finish. Install while the thin set
mix is still wet. This can be done after the
TI.PROBOARD™ has been screwed down
and mortar bed applied. Press TI.EDGING™
into the thin set with the long side pressing
against the deck board.
Joining / Butting TI.PROBOARD™
Place each end equal distance on the
center of joist . DO NOT MAINTAIN A
CONTINUAL SEAM ALONG THE SAME
JOIST ALL SEAMS ARE TO BE STAGGERED. No one piece of TI-ProBoard can
be shorter than 3 joist spans.

Existing Decks
Existing decks can be tiled over, but it is a
judgement call if the deck is suitable to
accept the installation of TI.PROBOARD.™
Slope may need to be adjusted to allow
water run off.

TI . PROBOARD is the base of a
™
unique system to form a solid tiled
surface to new or existing decks.
Deck Maintenance is a thing of
the past with a tiled deck.
Choose the color and design you
want for your outdoor living space
with a tiled deck. Create the style
and elegance a tiled deck can give
you. For a rustic look there are
porcelain tiles with a brick or stone
finish, or go for elegance with a
porcelain tile made to look like marble.
So many attractive options are
available almost without limits.
TI.PROBOARD™ is a structural material
so there is no other plywood, backer
boards etc.
To install, layout TI.PROBOARD™
across the joists, clip each section
together, use one coated deck screw to
screw down each panel on every joist.
Each joist is 16” on center.
How difficult is this going to be?
TI.PROBOARD™ is not at all difficult, but
the installation of tile outdoors has to
be more detailed than installing tile
indoors. We strongly recommend you
use the setting materials we specify.
No special tools are required. When
your deck is finished there is a dry
area underneath for storage.

1. Water has to drain off the surface so the deck
must slope away from the house at a rate
of 1/4" per running foot.
2. During installation of tile air temperature
should not be below 40°F and not above 95°F.
3. To fill the channels of the TI.PROBOARD™ use
mortar designed to work in freeze/thaw
environments. Your local tile professional
store will advise on similar products if they
don't carry our suggestion.
4. Waterproofing (optional) after the underlayment has dried and before thinset is applied a
waterproof membrane can be used.
5. Thin set coverage on the tile should not be
less than 98%. If you are not skilled in tiling
we recommend you back butter each tile
which will give 100% coverage. Use 1/4”x 3/8”
x 1/4” notch trowel or 3/8” x 3/8”x 3/8”
6. Use thin set which is latex fortified to ANSI
standard 118.4 or better.
7. Use the correct exterior tile for your area.
8. Use a grout recommended for tiling outdoors
or as recommended your tile professional.
9. Installing the TI . EDGING™around the perimeter
this will give a finished look.

will be used over a living accomatations.

Tile for external use
For decks a fully vitrified or porcelain
tile should be used. This may vary for
different regions depending on freeze
/thaw variances. The co-efficient of
friction for the finished surface should
be rated at .6 or above. For added coefficient of friction on tiles use
PR0 . TRACTION WET non slip
treatment from the North American
Tile Tool Company creates an
“Invisible Tread” on tile which
significatly increases the co-eficient
of friction and reduces the problem
of dangerous wet surfaces. Easy
one step application that last up to
five years.
TI.PROBOARD™ is manufactured in the
USA from a specially formulated composite
material under the direct control of Tile
DIY LLC.
TI.PROBOARD™ has been fully tested to
withstand the temperature differences it is
likely to encounter in the USA.
Following the correct procedures and using
the correct materials, your deck will be a
maintenance free area for many years.
