Modular interlocking tiles sit on a grid of raised nubs that let water drain through the surface and away from the base. In Phoenix, that drainage gap also reduces heat transfer from the concrete below, keeping surface temperatures several degrees lower than a direct acrylic coating on the same slab.
The site assessment inspects the existing slab for cracks, heaving, and slope before recommending tile installation. A slab with significant movement or pooling areas needs remediation first. The written estimate will flag that clearly so there are no surprises after tiles are ordered.
Tiles are available in multiple colors and can carry regulation line marking for basketball, pickleball, volleyball, or multi-sport layouts. Perimeter edging strips finish the border and prevent tile migration. The builder completes a final walkthrough to confirm tile lock, surface level, and line accuracy.
