Find the best and most durable outdoor wood tiles. Find out what is important when it comes to the quality of wood tiles and how high durability is achieved.
The best wood tiles are characterized by high wood quality (Premium or FAS), maximum durability (resistance class 1), and kiln-dried wood (KD). Sustainable origin, such as FSC® certification, is also important. Tropical woods such as teak, cumaru, garapa, or jatoba meet these criteria and offer durable, robust, and visually attractive tiles for gardens, balconies, or terraces.
Learn moreWood tiles made from tropical woods classified as resistance class 1, such as teak or cumaru, have a natural outdoor lifespan of over 25 years. However, the actual durability depends on site conditions: Sunny, well-ventilated locations increase the lifespan, while shady or damp locations can shorten it. A well-drained plastic grid further supports longevity.
Learn moreThe plastic grid of the wooden tiles is made of polypropylene (PP). This plastic is harder and stronger than polyethylene (PE) and ensures that the substructure remains shatter-proof and durable, even when exposed to weathering.
