10 Easy Pieces: Wood Flooring for Decks

July 10, 2017

Wood flooring is an instant fix. Lay slatted wood tiles in a grid on a flat surface to transform a balcony, deck, or concrete pad into an inviting outdoor room.

Made from materials such as ipe, acacia, and teak—as well as from hardwoods harvested in Brazil and Asia—most wood floor tiles are interlocking and can be installed in an afternoon. Here are 10 of our favorite choices for wood floor tiles to pave outdoor spaces:

Made from Brazilian hardwood, \2-by-\2-foot square Cumaru Wood Deck Tiles have a smooth finish. Contact Bison Innovative Products for more information and pricing.

From Ikea, Runnen Floor Decking tiles are made of acacia wood. Measuring \1\1.75 inches square, they are \$3.\10 per square foot. Warns Ikea: &#8\2\20;Wood contains tannic acid which, after a time, can leak out and discolor the sub-floor. Never lay wooden decking on a surface where it would matter if this happened.&#8\2\2\1;
