Q: I noticed someone said it could be used on a deck. how about in phoenix, az where temps approach 120 degrees f. in the summer, in direct sunlight?
A:
120 F is not a problem.
We had our floors outdoor in Connecticut for 11 months. Direct sunshine, rain, snow, ice...No problem.
We had our floors outdoor in an environment similar to SC. Again, direct sunshine, rain, etc. No problem.
We did some crazy testing to have cars drive thru (of course not on a busy road or a highway) for more than half year. No big problem.
All products in this collection have UV coating and 28 mil wear layer. You could order samples from other flooring company and see which product is more durable. We had customers did some interesting tests before. One customer even left comments about what he did for this product. You could try it yourself and share with all of us here. Please try something interesting. Our customers have tried screw driver, coins, etc. Well, you could do whatever you want for the samples, something like screw driver is going to void the warranty (Residential: Life time PLUS one ownership transfer; Commercial 20 years) if you apply your creativity on the products you will purchase.
Good luck and we look forward in hearing your interesting test results.

A:
Yes, you could put a heating mat underneath. However, we do not recommend this application. The product is made of virgin vinyl and has 2 mm medium density underlayment.
