The FSC® Massaranduba 2×4′ deck tile is constructed similarly to the 2×2′ tile, but with slats that are twice as long to produce a rectangular deck tile of 8 square feet. This different shape can provide a more lineal and traditional decking look, or can be patterned with other 2×4’s in a parquet pattern, or with other 2×2’s for a variety of different patterns and styles. The wood has reddish tones which will fade in a few seasons to a silver patina (as all other woods do), but the original color can be refreshed with pressure-washing to remove the depleted lignum cells on the surface to expose fresh wood. As with all our other FSC® products, the wood in these tiles is from an FSC®-certified forest concession which means it is selectively-harvested, and replanted to grow more forest instead of converted to another use. This is not only good for the environment, but can also be a great advantage for adding LEED points to meet higher-standard Green Building Council standards.
