Question 1

How much does Tanzite decking material cost?

Accepted Answer

Tanzite stone tiles’ cost is comparable to composite decking at $4.48 a linear foot or $8.95 per square foot. However, with Tanzite stone, you would typically have less waste since the individual pieces are smaller. If you combine the water protection membrane, the jointing sand, the bullnose edge stones, the fasteners, and the standard stones, most decks work out to about $12.00 per square foot.

Question 3

How heavy is Tanzite STONEDECK?

Accepted Answer

Tanzite is about 9.1 lbs per square foot or 46 kg per square meter. Given its weight, we recommend building your deck structure about five to ten percent stronger than minimum standards. Always check your local building codes and bylaws, but as an example, if the maximum rated joist span in your area is 14’10” with 2X10 joists spaced 2’ on center, then you can make it five to ten percent stronger with one of these three simple changes: Reduce the joist span to 13’4”,  narrow the joist spacing to 18” on center,  or switch to 2x12 joists.

Question 4

How to install Tanzite STONEDECKS?

Accepted Answer

Stone decks are engineered to be flexible. You simply build a wood frame, just like for any other deck. Then you cover that in plywood and then with a one piece membrane. Then you simply cover the membrane with the stone, no thin set or grout needed. Tanzite stone can also be used to resurface your existing deck, concrete, or be installed directly on the ground like a paving stone.
