| Pre-assembled Bison™ Wood Tiles are ideal for blending the beauty and upscale appearance of real hardwood with long-lasting durability and low maintenance. Bison™ Wood Tiles are constructed from select cut Brazilian woods, which have been harvested in an environmentally responsible method designed to preserve and enhance the economic viability of rain forest hardwoods. Wood species offered include Massaranduba (FSC Certified) and Ipê, which are very hard woods, approximately three times harder than Red Oak.

Massaranduba is an environmentally responsible alternative to chemically treated and composite decking products, and boasts a fire rating of class A.

| Natural Aging
Bison™ Wood Tiles are an untreated, low-maintenance, natural product. Deck tiles have variations in color and grain. Left to weather naturally and, depending on climatic conditions, wood tiles will develop an aged light gray patina. All wood is subject to weathering and erosion from sun, wind, debris, and precipitation.
