Since you can install the Diamond Essence products yourself, the difference in installation cost is huge. Installation cost can vary from region to region but it would not be unlikely that the homeowner could pay between $3.00 and $4.00 per sqft for installation on a standard deck that installs the traditional way. The average sqft of a deck would be around 400sqft so there is a cost savings of between $1200 and $1600 for installation costs if done by the homeowner and approx. 1/2 this cost if done by a qualified contractor as the time required to install this type of system is much, much less than standard deck boards. Also, if you compare the cost of building a hardwood deck the traditional way, the materials costs alone would be far higher. Typically, you can expect that a Diamond Essence deck tile installation will be less than half the cost of building a conventional hardwood deck. Diamond Essence Outdoor Flooring also offers more possibilities in terms of design, and can easily be taken up and reinstalled in another location if needed. If you are installing the tiles over an existing concrete patio or balcony consider the massive savings in time, cost and the backbreaking work of digging up and re-laying the concrete pad
