★ 3RD STREET INN® DECK TILES - 3rd Street Inn® Deck Tiles are made from 100% solid acacia hardwood. Acacia is known for its excellent resistance to rot and decay from outdoor elements including rain, sun, mold, mildew, and insects. Each 3rd Street Inn® Interlocking Patio Tile provides 12"x12" (1 Square Foot) of coverage and is available as a 6-pack (6 Square Feet), 10-pack (10 Square Feet), and 20-pack (20 Square Feet). ★ EASY INSTALLATION & NO HARDWARE NEEDED - 3RD STREET INN® interlocking deck flooring features snap-lock connectors for easy DIY installation without the use of tools or hardware. Install our interlocking deck cover tiles in your area by lining them up and then stepping on the seams until you hear an audible "click" to lock them in. All 3rd Street Inn® deck flooring options are made completely hardware free so that there aren't any components to rust and break down in the outdoor elements like other inferior tile patio decking ★ INDOOR AND OUTDOOR DECK FLOORING - 3rd Street Inn® Patio Tiles create a beautiful space both inside and outside. All that is needed is a solid surface and the deck flooring can be laid directly on top of it. Our composite deck tiles can be installed on top of concrete, wood, carpet, pavers, or any other solid surface. Great for decks, patios, balconies, around pools, saunas, showers, sun rooms, mud rooms, bedrooms, and more. ★ DURABLE BEAUTY - 3rd Street Inn® interlocking composite deck tiles are sanded and oiled for a beautiful, scratch resistant finish. All 3rd Street Inn® outdoor patio flooring is non-slip and great for high or low traffic areas inside or outside of the home. To increase the lifespan of your tile decking when used for outdoor applications, standard decking care is recommended. For best results, coat your decking with a UV-rated weatherproofing sealer twice a year and re-stain as needed. The tile decking can also be painted different colors in order to create the look that you want! ★ VERSATILE INSTALLATION OPTIONS- 3rd Street Inn® Interlocking Flooring Tiles not only look great in permanent installations on decks, patios, and around pools, they also offer a great temporary solution for installations in apartments and condos that can easily be removed when needed. For a custom fit, the interlocking patio tiles can be easily cut with a skill saw or jigsaw to accommodate areas of all shapes and sizes. Add 3rd Street Inn® Wooden Deck Flooring to your home and bring your space to life! We recommend using a UV rated weatherproof sealant twice yearly. This sealant is a crucial step in the life of the decking tiles and can extend the life of the decking tiles, in some cases, pending the climate, by 1 to 2 years. The life of a decking tile is heavily dependent on the climate of where they are located. Hot, humid climates, rainy climates, and cold, snowy climates can cause the decking tiles to deteriorate faster than using them in a climate controlled environment, like inside of a house or indoor venue.

This solid petrified log from Andrew Martin serves as a striking and sculptural side table, perfectly positioned beside the contemporary Camerich sofa. Upholstered in a soft linen-effect fabric with a stain-resistant Teflon finish, the sofa offers a beautiful balance of comfort, durability, and understated elegance. A bold Cubist artwork provides the focal point for the room, its layered geometry and earthy tones forming the foundation of the palette. Rich hues of rust and moss have been thoughtfully drawn from the piece and layered throughout the space—bringing warmth, depth, and a quiet vibrancy that feels entirely in tune with the room’s organic yet sophisticated feel. The floor lamp, also from Andrew Martin, introduces a softer, more fluid form. Its curvaceous silhouette gently references the rounded edges of the coffee table and the bouclé armchair in the opposite corner, adding a sense of balance and visual rhythm. The result is a space where contrasting forms and textures are thoughtfully harmonised—grounded in nature, yet refined in execution.

Recently, I was asked to do some Tile Doctoring at Palmeira Square, in the seaside city of Brighton and Hove, to restore the Victorian tiled floor of one of the downstairs offices. Palmeira Square is a residential area which was first developed in the mid-19th century during the reign of Queen Victoria, so many of the buildings feature some fantastic original Victorian tile floors. Although there are many large terraced houses and even mansions in the area, some of the buildings have been converted into offices for commercial use. My client, who leased the downstairs office, managed to persuade the other tenants to employ professional help to restore the tiles, and so I was asked to come in to clean and seal the floor to get it back to looking its best. With Palmeira Square being quite a lively area, I made sure to fence off the front door area from the wandering public. My first job was to apply Tile Doctor Remove & Go to the floor, a heavy duty stripper, multi-purpose stripper that was able to remove the stubborn marks, stains and ingrained dirt on and between the tiles. In particular, Remove & Go helped to remove some rust stains I found near the door hinges. I left the product to sit and work its magic for twenty minutes, and during this time I began cleaning the floor using a buffing pad, which is suitable for use on all types of floor (except polished stone), and a solution of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean diluted with water. The combination of a buffing pad and Pro-Clean helped to remove the general dirt and grime that had built up over time in this high traffic area of the office. After the cleaning was complete, the black tiles appeared grey because any remaining sealer had been removed. However, the colour would return after resealing the tiles, which was my next job. I returned to the office after two days to seal the Victorian tile floor. To do this, I needed to use Tile Doctor Seal & Go, which meant I had to ask the office workers to keep off the floor for most of the day. This is because I needed to apply six coats of Seal & Go to the floor, and each coat takes roughly fourty minutes to dry. Seal & Go provides a stain-resistant surface seal and a durable low-sheen finish, which will help keep this floor looking great for a long time, even with a high traffic of workers coming in and out of the office. Luckily, it was a warm day outside, and the floor dried quickly, leaving a shiny, deep black surface. Both my client and I were very happy with the result. The client was also pleasantly surprised to see that I had been able to remove the rust stains near the door.
