LinkDeck
If you need a classic hardwood tile that survives rain, snow, ice and sun ( just like our premium SwiftDeck Ipe tiles) but don't need the option of other tile styles or sizes, our lower cost LinkDeck range would be your ideal choice. Built to the same high standards as our SwiftDeck range, and using only wood species with proven high durability and dimensional stability, our LinkDeck tiles are a truly versatile option for both fully exposed exterior applications or interior uses such as basement floors, three season porches or sunrooms.
LinkDeck is exclusively offered in our ECO range of deck tiles using only selected wood species sourced from sustainably managed forestry plantations – not from illegal forestry operations or clear felling of old growth rain forests.
With a choice of either silky, golden brown Teak or stunningly exotic Indian Rosewood, you can be sure your new patio, balcony or roof deck will not only amaze your friends but provide ongoing enjoyment year after year.
And you'll have the peace of mind in knowing your wood deck was made exclusively from non endangered wood species sourced from responsibly managed forests.

Highly prized for boat decks, high end interior flooring and outdoor furniture, teak is renowned worldwide not only for its attractive appearance, satiny smooth surface and resistance to splintering, but its exceptional resistance to expansion, contraction and warping in fully exposed exterior situations.
And although plantation teak may not possess exactly the same characteristics as old growth teak since it is harvested at a much younger age, it displays the same rich golden brown color, contains the same natural oils that repel water, resist decay and insect attack, and is highly resistant cracking, warping, expansion and contraction.
With a unique combination of high durability, stability, classic good looks and timeless appeal, it’s understandable that teak is often known as the "The King of Hardwoods"

Indian Rosewood has long enjoyed the enviable reputation as a beautiful, premium quality cabinet wood and in fact is still one of the favored species for backs and sides of guitars.
This charming wood is typically dark purplish brown with attractive dark brown to dark purple streaks. As a decking material, not only does it earn praise for its stunning, exotic appearance, but its density, strength, dimensional stability and exceptional durability, places this species firmly into the top rank of lumber species ideal for fully exposed exterior locations.
If you’re looking for a dark toned natural wood surfacing material with dramatic impact, Indian Rosewood is hard to resist.
