Beautiful Wood Tiles for Your Raised Wood Deck

When it comes to choosing a hard surface for your new raised wood deck, you cannot go wrong with Bison™ Wood Tiles. These beautiful, ready-to-install tiles combine the distinctive appearance of real hardwood with long-lasting durability and low maintenance, making them perfect for any deck project.

Unlike traditional hardwood deck materials, Bison™ Wood Tiles do not require frequent upkeep. They are commercial-grade, constructed with stainless steel screws, and can be periodically treated with oil to preserve and enhance their original color. Otherwise, all that is left is to simply enjoy your new elevated deck.

As far as appearance goes, you also have the option to leave Bison™ Wood Tiles untreated. This allows them to develop a natural, weathered-looking gray patina. Choose from ipe, massaranduba, and cumaru woods–each has its own distinctive appeal and can take elevated decks from dull to attention-demanding in one day.

Product Overview

Design

Bison Wood Tiles are designed for every surface from rooftops to courtyards, terraces to pool decks. Constructed with Natural Hardwood, they offer flexibility in design and easy installation.

Environmentally Friendly

Bison Wood Tiles are constructed utilizing a select method where only mature trees are harvested, leaving a vast majority of the forest intact. FSC certified products are available.

Care & Maintenance

Your Bison Wood Tiles come from the factory unfinished. Colors, shades, and textures will vary greatly and will continue to change after installation when left untreated. 

Uneven weathering and staining from the elements is normal.  Sealing or staining the Wood Tiles is not required.  Left unsealed, the Wood Tiles will slowly turn a natural light gray patina.

However, if you do choose to maintain your Wood Tiles with a stain or sealer, the manufacturer recommends an oil based penetrating sealer specifically designed for tropical hardwoods.

You should consult a local finishing professional familiar with the treatment of hardwood decks and finish characteristics specific to the climate in your area when you make your decision on what specific product to use.

Keep in mind that once stained or sealed, regular maintenance of the finish will be required.

BISON WOOD TILES WILL AGE NATURALLY

Bison Wood Tiles are a low-maintenance, untreated, natural product. Wood deck tiles vary in color and grain. Over time, the wood tiles’ exposure to climatic conditions will develop an aged light gray patina. All wood is subject to weathering and erosion from sun, wind, debris and precipitation.
