This offering of Teak Deck and Floor Tiles cover 10 square feet and are  “snap-in-place” are the moderately-priced style of teak from recently-harvested hardwoods. While their bog brothers, old growth teak, supplies the market with the highest quality teak wood, these more recently harvested slats are barely beneath that in terms of longevity and great handsome character. Durable beyond almost any wood choice, these gorgeous tiles offer a less expensive alternative while still providing the quality of teak wood decking one looks for.

Incredibly easy to install in a tenth the time, this system also allows one to lift and replace -  or merely lift and relocate – an entire swath – or even the entire bathroom floor or deck – at any time. Perfect for DIY installers who take pride in their home constructions, this truly pretty product has few peers. Stained and in place, the depth of color and the unmistakable appearance of teak enlivens and adds depth to any surface.

This Honey Onyx Solid Polished Natural Field Tile is one of those riveting tiles which just proves there is apparently no limit in how beautiful one can make things, given time and budget.  Every so often, I run across a tile I am absolutely dying to see installed. This would be one of those. The depth of the visual crystallization and the smooth solid finish make an absolutely remarkably beautiful tile – very much a competitor in sheer beauty to the finest marbles.

There is something shimmering inside this tile – almost as if it were literally bouncing in front of us, throwing off the most gorgeous highlights and secret qualities. The sunny disposition of the color itself also serve to brighten any room where used – from bathroom to kitchen. Complex yet deep and gorgeous, the richness of this tile is its prime selling point – and, of course, its general plain beauty. Nature provides remarkable choices in our tile selections and this one is near the top of that range for me. Just an excellent-looking piece. The price listed here is for a group of 5 tiles, 12″ sqaure – a square foot each – making them somewhere around 7 bucks apiece. That’s actually a good deal.
