apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Did I miss how much this product costs somewhere in this post? Didn't see any negatives mentioned, either. I'm guessing this is a paid advertisement.

I'm not sure if it's theirs, but my company used a very similar product to place on what would otherwise be pretty plain concrete balconies for a luxury condo development in Manhattan. They snap together very easy and look spectacular and hold up well to traffic and weather. however, they are quite pricey and of course covering odd shaped areas requires custom onsite cutting to fit. but they do look good and are quick to setup. The cost is the real rub here.

For me, the fact that they don't quip about how these are like Flor except for decks is the giveaway that its placed. Also, no creativity about other possible uses for them.

I hope you don't do paid advertisements.

We put these on our roof deck two years ago. The plastic does get brittle and the little snaps break off if you try to move them around after about a year. They still look pretty ok but have not held up as well as we would have hoped after all the work of putting them down.

Ditto on what Fortune says. I am actually about to start my yearly maintenance on them, where I give them a good cleaning and apply a few coats of teak oil. They bounced back pretty well last year... not so sure how they will look this time around.

But even worn, it looks better than a concrete floor.

I can understand the concerns of some of the commenters regarding paid advertisements in blogs, especially after some of the recent media regarding bloggers not disclosing their affiliation with advertisers (See yesterday's NPR story on Mom Bloggers). I can assure you however, that as the author, I came across the product searching for ideas on how to cover my back porch stoop and thought it was a pretty neat product.

And Kushkush is correct, these are very similar to FLOR, an eco-carpet tile, however I've never dug much into FLOR since I have hardwood floors at home.

I'll this opportunity to mention that Apartment Therapy has always and will always mark sponsored posts with a "Sponsored Post" tab running down the right side of the post. An explanation regarding sponsored posts can be found here. And as always, thank you all for your comments.

wow, emily! that's a kind of cheeky comment considering that every post you make is an advertisement for yourself.

perfect for my garden!
