Environment Friendly
Silca System and Merx Pacific are dedicated to doing their part to โGo Greenโ
Common hardwood decking used in NZ including, kwila, teak, and vitex are directly sourced from the deforestation of Papua New Guinea and Amazon Rainforests . Unlike more sustainable pine used for structural building timbers, these hardwoods are from old established rainforest, take generations to grow and provide an abundant habitat for creatures large and small. To cut that down so one can have a deck seems absolutely barbaric in this day and age when we know the consequences! It is time to change our thinking around what a โdeckโ or outdoor living area consists of. Silca System provides a new green option with a low maintenance, low environmental impact patio/deck produced from 100% recycled materials and we even plant trees too! Silca System uses 100% recycled polycarbonate in the production of its Silca System line of products. Merx Pacific and Silca System are committed to their continued effort of being environmentally friendly and using only recycled materials for their products.
Getting ready for summer relaxing. This tight section needed permeable site coverage for council. Silca System and a 20mm porcelain tile with 3mm gaps achieved this free draining, non-slip, low maintenance surface for around their pool area. Superb finish by @landsmiths_nz

Steel joist is a great option in use with Silca System. Super straight, flat, long lasting, insect and rot proof and fire resistant! Perfect for the Australian environment as shown here in VIC. Stay tuned for project progress.

Laying it down. Shown here solid 40mm concrete pavers with a geo textile cloth underlay. Using a Romex permeable grout will allow a level finish yet water to still drain, binds all paving together with zero movement.
P.S. dosnโt look like it here but this is 3m off the ground on timber joist!

Effective and unique finish to this elevated deck patio with the use of woodgrain finish porcelain tiles. Super durable and long lasting, no splits, warps or rot in this deck! #innovation #tileddeck #outdoorliving #alternitivedeck #decksolution #recycled #nzmade #silcasystem_nz
โThe Silca system was perfect for my deck project. Being able to use a wooden decking frame with steel uprights and lay Turkish Travertine directly on top of the Silca tiles provided a cost effective and elegant outcome.
I would definitely use the Silca product on my next deck project.โ

Ever wonder how to finish the edge of a Silca System tiled deck? There are many options available, all up to your own design preferences. Here the customer has used the same porcelain tile as used on the deck covering as an upstand to cover the trimmer joist. Simple glue fix application. Smart and tidy and with a slight over lap of the top paver gives a nice coping type effect.
Stay tuned to find out more edge details in the coming posts. Porcelain tiles by @ssl_distributors. Construction by @landsmiths_nz

Here the client wanted a cost effective system that could float over an existing slab/garden/pavers/drains all in one, free draining and able to lay their particular kind of tile and design layout. A tight area to fit but the builders are getting it done no worries with @silcasystem_nz โquick as to lay, no sweat, easy peasy!โ #gettingitdone #readyfortiles #floatingpatio #tileddeck #supersolid #easypeasy #nzmade #silcasystem_nz

During the construction process Silca System Grates can easily be temporarily removed and replaced to allow access for subbies and services as shown here.
Finished surface tiles can be laid once the job is near completion so they can remain in a pristine condition, yet still having an elevated deck surface to work off in the meantime. ๐ก ๐๐ผ @allformconstruction
P.s. to provide an easy access to subdeck for maintenance purposes simply leave one corner tile unstuck, with spacers to fit tight. #elevatedpatio #easyinstallation #supertough #tileddeck #landscapedesign #nzmade #silcasystem_nz #recycled

The team @allformconstruction making quick work of this install, and as you can see providing a hardwearing, non slip, work surface until final tiling is laid. ๐๐ผ
