I don't know if you were looking for something wall-to-wall, but if not, maybe something like this [HYPERLINK@www.gardeners.com] ?

I have the same problem, what to put on a bedroom balcony floor. I need roofing quality material that will hold up to traffic.

Do you have an answer?

Thanks

Consider a green product such as recycled rubberized matting.
This is the first time I have used this product and so far I am pleased with the results.
It comes in a variety of colors in large 6 foot wide rolls.
The building contractor did the installation which consisted of cleaning the roof top deck surface, prepping it, troweling down the adhesive , cutting the rubber mattting material into the design pattern and then setting it in place and rolling it.

There has been some problems with a few minor bubbles when the roof heated up from direct sun, but so far it has stayed color fast and the surface has worn well.
