MFB Flooring for Outdoor Covered Patio And Balcony

MFB Flooring for Outdoor Covered Patio and Balcony

MFB flooring can be installed in outdoor covered areas. The mineral fiber core handles temperature changes and humidity better than wood based products. This guide covers what you need to know.

Suitable Locations

Covered patios: MFB works well under a roof or pergola where direct rain is limited. The mineral core resists temperature swings.

Enclosed balconies: Suitable for balconies with overhead protection. Not for open balconies with direct rain exposure.

Sunrooms: Excellent for three season rooms and sunrooms where temperature fluctuations are common.

Limitations

MFB is not designed for direct rain exposure. The planks have seams that can allow water through. Continuous rain exposure can cause issues over time.

Direct sunlight can cause color fading. Use UV resistant options if available. Consider shade solutions for areas with intense sun exposure.

Installation

Use glue down installation for outdoor covered areas. The adhesive prevents movement from temperature changes. Seal all edges and transitions.

Allow for expansion with temperature changes. Leave slightly larger expansion gaps than indoor installations.
