Wood Deck Tiles | Made Easy to Install
Our interlocking wood deck tiles have increasingly grown in popularity and have become the premium outdoor flooring solution.
ExoTile Wood Deck Tiles allows owners of homes, apartments, condominiums and townhouses to add a sense of relaxed
luxury and style to any outdoor living space. Rooftop decks can be crafted into beautiful and relaxing outdoor gardens in the sky.
Condominium living space is expanded and your balcony can be transformed from a steel and concrete jungle into an urban oasis.
With ExoTile wood deck tiles nothing is attached or affixed to the walls, floors or railings of your condo, townhome, ground-level patio, or rooftop space.
The open profile of the Batu ExoTile allows air to circulate around the entire tile while water, dust and small debris fall
through the deck boards and wash away underneath, leaving your floor surface clean, dry and fresh. Because glue, grout
and nails are not needed for installation, condo and HOA / strata rules are no longer a problem!
Our beautiful hand-crafted wooden deck tiles give you the ultimate elegant outdoor living experience. ExoTiles are highly versatile,
have the ability to create patterns, are quick to install, can be utilized on pre existing structures, and can be easily
uninstalled or moved to a new location.

Nova Deck Tiles
Nova carries 24”x24” Wood Deck Tiles in both Batu, Red Balau and Ipe hardwood, the same material and grade as our renowned high quality exterior decking and siding line. Each wooden deck tile features nine nominal 1x3 pieces running parallel to one-another. The bottom support of the deck tile is formed using an additional 3 pieces of matching hardwood. Two support pieces run along the outside edges of the tile perpendicular to the top pieces with a third support board running down the center of the tile also perpendicular to the top pieces. This structure creates a supported wood deck tile with no sag. Moreover, all our wood deck tiles are assembled with stainless steel fasteners for long term durability.
Deck tiles are sold unfinished and should be finished with a high quality penetrating oil stain such as Nova's
ExoShield Tung oil.
Installation
Batu Wood Deck tiles can easily transform any flat surface into a gorgeous living space. One of the things
that makes Deck Tiles unique is that they can often be installed directly on top of a pre-existing
flat surface such as a cement patio or balcony. By laying them parallel to one another or
perpendicular to each other you can create a variety of looks using the same types of tiles.
This “place-on-top” style of installation allows for an easier install for homeowners and families
looking for a weekend project that will bring warmth and beauty to their living space. In addition,
it allows the user to have a beautiful hardwood deck on top of a patio without building the
framework. Deck Tiles are a game changer for those who rent their properties or homes
because they are easy to both install and un-install and can be taken to a new location when
needed. This means that the landlord won’t have to worry about the leftover structure and the
renter won’t have to lose out on their beautiful investment!
Nova’s outdoor wood deck tiles are 100% compatible with the DeckWise pedestal support system and interlocking snap together tile clips.

Cutting Deck Tiles
Perpendicular to the Top
Cutting deck tiles is actually more simple than it looks. To cut perpendicular across the tile,
begin by unscrewing the center support beam featured on the bottom of the tile. Now
you can make your perpendicular cut. After sawing the desired amount off, remove the
outer-support from the side that you won’t be using. You can now install that outer-support on
the new edge of the cut piece. Once this has been done, take the center support beam and
re-install it in the center of the freshly cut Deck Tile. Now you have a custom sized tile!
Parallel to the Top
When cutting parallel to the top boards on the tile, remove the center support from the bottom of
the deck tile. This should leave you with a ready-to-cut tile. Next, cut the tile at your desired
width. Now you can re-install the center support accordingly. If there is no longer enough room
to install the center support, you can forgo this process. However, we recommend re-installing
the center support so long as it fits into the center of the freshly cut tile. Now you have a custom
sized tile!
Hardwood Deck Tiles
Our hardwood deck tiles are constructed entirely from durable hardwood without any cheap plastic mesh holding the wood together.
This is a superior product and is a full 24" x 24" in size which creates a much more elegant and less busy space than the typical
cheap tiles available elsewhere. The durable hardwood base is able to withstand many years of exposure to moisture. The base also
lifts the upper boards off the surface by 3/4" which allows air to circulate around the entire tile and prevents moisture from being trapped underneath. This is a key feature that allows our deck tiles to last for many years without warping or rotting.
