Environment Friendly
Silca System and Merx Pacific are dedicated to doing their part to ‘Go Green’
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 “deck” 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.

The mission goals for this project were the client required a:
-free draining
-tiled patio
-elevated over a tight, steep sloping section.
-cost effective
-permeable site coverage
The team at Collin Flood Ltd provided that, achieving a superb result for their client.
Here, a 20mm porcelain laid directly over the @silcasystem_nz Grates using an adhesive application.
(See previous posts for progress during build)
This deck will truly stand the test of time 👌

If you were wondering how to junction your tiles between solid pool base and elevated SilcaSystem deck, this is how.
Solid grouted coping then a bridging tile half grout adhesive and half SIKAFlex adhesive onto grates. This bridges the junction, allows for fractional movement in deck structure and yet still achieves a free draining, hard wearing, low maintenance pool surround and finished tiled deck surface!
Executed perfectly here by @featurelandscapes and @ssl_distributors

No mater the tile design, shape, or layout, you can achieve an elevated patio using Silca System. We do recommend a minimum of 14mm thick however the rest is up to you! Grouted or un grouted for a permeable finish. Porcelain, natural stone, travertine, concrete pavers.
Other more expensive systems, only support specified tiles at the edges, are restricted on layout design and leave a hollow, insecure feel.
The honeycomb design of the Silca Grate cells are a maximum of only 50mm so you can be confident you are supporting the entire underside of each and every tile, this results in endless design choices and an incredibly solid feel under foot.
Take a look through these existing projects for some inspo on alternative tile choice.

@featurelandscapes making easy work of this pool surround install, gluefix application with 3mm gap around each tile for drainage allows that free draining pool area, low maintenance, slip resistant, perfect. 👌🏼 #pooldeck #poolpatio #installtime #quickandeasy #permeable #nzmade #silcasystem_nz
Spaced tiles as adhesive sets.
Final result is a permeable surface, so rain can free drain to the ground bellow, yet still getting all the benefits of a tiled patio. #permeable #tileddeck #freedraining #permeablepatio #looksgreat #easyinstall #silcasystem_nz #greenbuilding
