Outdoor Environments

SubFloor’s solution—featuring pressure-treated joists and screws designed for harsh outdoor conditions—is by far the easiest way to quickly and safely build a perfectly level subfloor for a deck, patio, balcony, or rooftop terrace. 

No concrete pouring or piling is needed—the sturdy screw feet can be placed on any solid surface, such as uneven rock outcrops or paving stones, which are simply laid out on the ground. They don’t need to be level at all, and a standard concrete slab is more than enough to distribute the load from the screw without sinking. Our system, featuring treated joists and height-adjustable screws in various lengths, then makes it easy to achieve a perfect surface for the deck, with the proper slopes for effective rainwater drainage.

SubFloors outdoor flooring is just as suitable for permanent installations as it is for, say, outdoor dining areas that may only be in use for five or six months of the year, before being stored away for the winter until the spring sun comes out. Installation is so simple that our outdoor flooring is often used even for very short-term installations, such as at festivals or other events. Not least, they come in handy where the subfloor would otherwise have posed significant challenges, such as cobblestone surfaces on streets and squares or where the ground is muddy. No damage needs to be done to the subfloor—so once the flooring is taken down, everything is just as it was before.

SubFloors outdoor flooring is equally suitable for both permanent and temporary installations.

Another practical application where SubFloor’s solution makes life significantly easier is in the construction of rooftop terraces on many types of buildings, both in rural areas and in cities. For example, if there’s a sloped tar paper roof, simply install our outdoor flooring using screws in custom lengths to create a level floor with a fantastic view—all with very little effort. The open design allows the underlying roof to handle drainage just as before—so all you have to do is enjoy it!
