What Material Should I Use to Cover My Deck?

We have a 10′ x 10′ deck off the living room with a rubberized surface. I’d like to put something down to cover the rubber surface that’s a bit more aesthetically pleasing.  Does anyone have any recommendations for material to use and someone to install?  I was thinking about teak or ipe wood tiles or porcelain tiles that look like stone.  Thanks.

The  ‘rubber’ surface is roofing material and your deck is wood framed most likely.. Options include natural wood, ‘ artifical’ wood, stone and tile. Hopefully the deck as it is is structurally ok. Send me your email and I will email you photos of different materials that you can peruse. I am installing a porcelain deck now ,I  install lots of  cedar decks , ipe and every other deck material.    john @ 917 886 9576. johnbfitzgerald@aol.com
