More and more people are choosing wood tiles for balconies and terraces. But why are wooden floors so on trend, and which types of wood are suitable for outdoor use? We explain the basics in this article.
Wood tiles for balconies: creating an outdoor atmosphere
The wood tiles for balconies are a proven solution and stand out for their simple installation. The secret lies in the plug-in system, which allows the individual tiles to fit together. Installation is therefore simple: the flooring can be laid quickly and removed if necessary. The tiles are sold individually. Their size can vary, but most are available in dimensions of 30 x 30 cm or 45 x 45 cm. A plastic grid protects the wood from waterlogging; when buying, check whether the tiles can sit directly on the ground when it rains.
Wood-tiled balcony: which types of wood are suitable outdoors?
For balconies with a specific shape, the tiles must be cut. Hardware-store staff can often do this, but it is usually better to rent a saw and adjust the tiles on site. The choice of wood is also very important. Tropical woods are generally extremely durable and can remain outdoors in winter, although they are certainly more expensive than native species. Native woods such as black locust are also suitable for outdoor use, but they should be dismantled at the end of summer and stored indoors.
