These terra-cotta tiles mimic the look of wooden planks, but bring the durability of ceramic that has been fired at extremely high temperatures. Suitable for deck, terrace, walkway, and patio applications, the planks are 1.5″ thick and come standard in two sizes: 29″ long by 13″ wide or 59″ long by 13″ wide. Custom sizes are also available.

The planks can be assembled over an aluminum substructure that has been installed onto a flat, enclosed surface with a 2% slope to allow for rainwater drainage. The tiles are fire-, frost-, skid-, and ultraviolet-ray resistant.
