Do the rubber tiles get really hot to the touch in direct sunlight? How difficult is it to shovel or remove snow from? Can you chip ice on top of this? Does snow and ice cause premature wearing? Does it get really slick when it is icy? How fast will it drain? In other words, is ice damning an issue? How long should it last?
Our Paver Tiles - West Coast will get hot in direct sunlight but will be cooler than concrete. You can shovel snow off our rubber paver tiles with a plastic shovel. Don't use a metal shovel as this will damage the tiles. Chipping ice on these tiles will be a little difficult if you are using a metal pick. We would suggest using salt and other materials to prevent ice from forming on the tiles. These tiles do drain fairly fast, so you won't have to worry about any ice damming issues. The tiles have a 5-year warranty, but these tiles are made to last as long as you own them. The only thing that you will notice is that over time some colors will fade in direct sunlight.
