It has the look of real stone or concrete pavers, but it’s actually eco-friendly rubber flooring recycled from old tires. Lightweight, portable and weather-resistant, it’s a snap to apply over almost any existing flooring surface, indoors or out.

If you’ve been searching for an attractive option to resurface old, worn or cracked flooring around your home, you should take a few moments to let us show you Envirotile.

In this short video, AboveAverageJoe from The Home Depot Community will demonstrate how easily you can install Envirotile rubber flooring, with no messy adhesive or grout, using simple connector clips to lock them in place.

On a patio, porch deck, balcony, basement floor or walkway, faux stone rubber flooring has never looked this good or been so easy to install.

Places: The Pergola

Posted by: on April 3rd, 2013 | 3 Comments

 

The Cedar Breeze is what we think of as your basic pergola. It comes unpainted, notched, pre-cut, pre-drilled and ready to assemble in a day’s time. Paired with an all-weather wicker seating set and surrounded by plants and flowers, it transforms an ordinary patio into an extraordinary outdoor room perfect for a gathering of friends and family.

An architectural structure that can be traced back as far as ancient Egypt, the pergola later became a common feature of Italian Renaissance gardens, often covering walkways or serving as grape arbors. Today, the same design can be used in your landscape to define a passageway, frame a focal point in your yard, or create the illusion of shelter without the feeling of being confined.

Options for pergolas abound. You won’t have difficulty finding one to match your intended use or desired look. You might, however, be surprised by the many different ways people are using pergolas not only to enhance their outdoor living spaces but also the look and feel of their home.

Take a look for yourself.

Deck Maintenance Tips

Posted by: on February 28th, 2013 | Make A Comment

 

If you are fortunate enough to own a home with a deck, then you don’t need us to tell you that they are great outdoor living spaces. But if your favorite outdoor room has become weathered, splintered and gray from the all the abuse it takes from the elements, perhaps you’d appreciate some deck maintenance advice to help you restore your deck to its former glory.

Not unlike the floors in your home, decks require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. In this brief video, we’ll show you how to sand, clean, pressure wash and refinish your deck to protect it.

You’ll learn the benefits of using deck cleaning products like chlorine or oxygenated bleaches to prepare your deck for sealers or stains. We’ll also discuss the advantages of acid-based cleaners and other chemical brighteners.

Thoroughly cleaning and resealing your deck every couple of years will cost you a lot less than replacing it. Just follow these simple deck maintenance tips and your favorite outdoor room will give you enjoyment for years to come.

 

Thinking about adding a deck to your home? You’ll find lots of useful information in our Project Guides, and all the tools and materials you’ll need in our Decking Department.

We have lots of videos. Catch up with YouTube Tuesdays and Thursdays, and visit The Home Depot’s YouTube channel.
