. Because of the durability of this hardwood and a pre-applied oil penetrating sealant, Abaco deck tiles do not require an additional water sealant, but it's recommended that you apply a high quality penetrating oil sealant to maintain its exotic appearance (at least one time annually) depending on weather conditions as the color will fade to silver/gray over time.
These modular deck tiles are durable and can be used in many areas such as:
- pools and saunas
- docks/swim platforms
- patios and decks
- walkways
- balcony/roof top decks
- porches
