If you find yourself spending less and less time on your roof deck, it may be time for a refresh. Redesigning your rooftop deck can help inject excitement into the environment and make it more functional for you and your guests. From upgrading your deck tiles to adding new furniture, sprucing up your roof deck can further add to the property value and help you get more enjoyment out of your time spent there.

Create a Clear Layout

To get the most out of your roof deck, it should have a clear purpose. If your roof deck isn’t optimized for your functional needs, you likely won’t spend much time enjoying the space in the long run. Think about what you want the space for, and clearly define its purpose. Are you installing a rooftop pool? Do you want a lounging area? Dining area? What about a rooftop bar or a barbecue? Creating a clear floor plan will help you envision the final space and create the most well-thought-out roof deck possible.

Focus on the Flooring

In addition to creating a clear layout, choosing new paving tiles can also revitalize the space and make it look entirely new. Choose the deck tiles that best suit your roof deck’s purpose, whether that’s porcelain outdoor tiles for a dining area or Cool-Roof pavers for a LEED-certified project. You can even choose multiple tiles to create designated zones within your roof deck, or incorporate accessories such as plant trays or artificial turf trays. Choosing sleek and elegant paving tiles will help your roof deck feel much more polished and act as a natural extension of your home’s interior. Plus, Tile Tech’s paving tiles are incredibly easy to install, so you can transform your roof deck as you desire within just a matter of hours.

Add Heat or Shade (or Both!)

A good rooftop deck isn’t all about functionality — you need to make sure it’s comfortable as well. Add elements that will make the space comfortable for you at all times of day and through all seasons. If you plan to soak up the sun and lounge during the day, add shade to sections of your roof deck so you have somewhere to stay cool and comfortable if desired. If you like to enjoy the sunset and night sky from your roof deck, add a fire pit or space heaters to help you stay warm during the cold nights. Optimizing your roof deck for all weather will help you get the most out of your investment and make it an enjoyable place to be 24/7.
