I am a fitter of wooden and composite terraces with many years of experience. Ventilated terrace reviews among my clients have very good.
I install hundreds of m2 of terraces a year. I made many wooden terraces both from native and exotic wood, but I noticed that more and more people use ceramic tiles to cover their terraces.
There is now a huge selection on the market to cover our relaxation zones. They can be large stone slabs, 60×60 or 30×120 ceramic tiles, raw concrete slabs, natural wooden boards, composite boards, etc.
I noticed that the terrace with ventilated opinions is getting better and better, and customers’ interest in this solution is growing from season to season.
Here are some basic advantages of a ventilated terrace:
- montage is simple, quick and stable
- you do not need to perform any work related to mortars, adhesives, jointing, etc.
- due to the lack of necessity to use the above materials, the terrace becomes much more resistant to weather conditions, i.e. nothing breaks, crumbles, etc.
- there is no water or snow on the installed floor – everything flows into the layers below
- various installations can be routed under the cladding – electrical, water, lighting etc.
- various mechanisms can be installed there, e.g. swimming pool pumps, garden spraying, sound system, etc.
- gives us many final possibilities – many types of wooden or composite boards, ceramic, stone and concrete tiles
- and most importantly, the substructure, i.e. the terrace bracket, remains undamaged – it can be used repeatedly. If the surface cladding breaks down, you can quickly remove it and place a new one on the already prepared brackets.
To sum up, a ventilated terrace is the most durable, quick to install and convenient terrace mounting system.
