Deck
Tiles are exotic hardwood square tiles,
which are intended to be placed directly on the ground or
onto flat concrete or wooden substructures. Deck Tiles are
resilient and much more comfortable to walk on than concrete.

Natural durable, plantation-grown South American “exotic”
hardwood, rated by the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory for
25+ years when in direct contact with dirt, gravel or sand.
Colors
Natural variations of rich brown colors (maintained by sealing)
or allowed to weather to a silver gray shades.
Dimensions:
19 5/8" x 19 5/8"
Hardwood
Species
Cambara: Popular
deck tile. Lighter in color and softer than Ipe. Resistant

insects and decay.

tipped saw blades and drill bits.
I-Connect Fasteners
Patented hidden vinyl fastener system for Deck Tiles. Preferred
method of installation for a beautiful smooth surface. Snap
in each corner of the deck tile for a secure and easy to
install deck tile fastening system. Available from Tarheel
Wood Treating.
Stainless Fasteners
Recommended is stainless steel screws or use of I-Connect
hidden fasteners for a blemish free deck tile surface. One
of the best stainless steel screws to use is Swaneze brand
which is a self-tapping, pre-lubricated, small-headed screw
available from Tarheel Wood
Treating.
Note:
Exotic hardwoods are an
air-dried product and this minimizes expansion problems
as seen in other decking products. Although the wood has
a smooth texture, it is normal to see some minor surface
checking as the
deck tiles age and weather. This
in no way affects its strength or
durability of your deck tiles.

we recommend leveling the surface with
fine crushed gravel or sand before laying the
tiles.

Use Penofin Oil Finish for Exotic Hardwoods to
maintain the hardwood’s rich natural

deep into the wood and seals the
individual fibers allowing the wood to breathe.
