Our Ipe hardwood interlocking deck tiles feature beautiful planks of exotic Ipe hardwood constructed on top of our SECURELOCK™ Polyethylene frame, a structural interlocking system with tabs that locks into subsequent tiles. Simply position a tile next to an existing tile and press down to lock into place. Repeat in any direction with any number of tiles to create a seamless deck surface of any size or shape. Our interlocking deck tiles can be installed over virtually any solid surface, providing durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal in a modular structure that is far superior in appearance, convenience and design than historic wood deck construction. Ipe hardwood is renowned for its hardness, resilience and natural beauty and tiles come finished with a natural wood coating that simultaneously protects and darkens each tile. Deck tiles are designed for outdoor use, making them a popular choice for rooftop decks, patios, terraces, walkways, and pool decks. Tiles are available in 1’ x1’ or 1’ x 2’ sizes.
There are four primary elements that differentiate our interlocking deck tiles from the low quality competition:
• Wood Type: Ipe and Garapa are both quality hardwoods renown for their hardness which strengthens resilience and longevity. All wood weathers in exterior use, but common cheaper wood alternatives such as Acacia are not designed to last in exposed environments. Acacia will often crack and/or splinter over time creating an unsafe surface.
• Wood Thickness: At 17mm thick, our wood is as much as TWICE AS THICK as the competition. This thickness provide structural integrity keeping our tiles flatter and solid underfoot.
• Sub Frame Design: Our SECURELOCK™ Polyethylene frame is built with UV stabilized compounds to prevent cracking and frame failures commonly found in competitions plastic frames. Cheaper systems can easily crack and fall apart after installation.
• Sub frame Thickness. Built up to 50% thicker, our frame provides greater rigidity to the tiles to support the overall structural rigidity of the installed deck and provide better drainage underneath deck.
