🪵 Wooden vs WPC Deck Tiles

IKEA RUNNEN Acacia Wood Tiles

Cheaper upfront, but can cost more in the long term — especially if you need to replace or remove them after just a short period of use.

  • Constructed from acacia wood with a plastic base
  • May be prone to splintering, fading, cracking or swelling over time
  • Requires ongoing oiling and sealing for upkeep
  • Reported limited durability — often replaced within 1–2 years
  • Lower initial cost but potentially higher long-term maintenance

DECKO Premium WPC Deck Tiles

Costs a little more upfront, but saves you time, hassle, and money long term — no need to replace, treat, or worry about deterioration year after year.

  • Made from 60% recycled hardwood (WPC)
  • Completely waterproof and UV-resistant
  • Zero maintenance – no oiling, no sealing
  • Won't rot, crack, or warp – designed for harsh Aussie weather
  • Natural deep-grain timber look with premium colour finishes
  • 10+ year outdoor performance lifespan

🧩 Polypropylene Deck Tiles

IKEA RUNNEN Polypropylene Tiles

Affordable and lightweight, but not designed for heavy-duty or long-term outdoor use.

  • Lightweight, hollow base – may flex or crack under pressure
  • Very low profile – sits almost flush to ground
  • May trap water underneath due to minimal clearance
  • Surface is slippery when wet and can fade over time
  • Plain and outdated visual design

DECKO Lite Polypropylene Tiles

Thicker, stronger, and smarter design — built for real use and lasting value.

  • Made from high-grade, UV-stabilised PP
  • High-grip textured surface – safer for wet areas
  • Elevated clip base for better drainage and airflow
  • Rigid construction – supports heavy furniture with no bending
  • Premium look that blends into modern spaces

Why DECKO Outperforms

  • ☀️ Built for Real Outdoor Living
    DECKO tiles are designed for true outdoor use — they thrive in daily exposure to sun, rain, and high traffic, unlike IKEA RUNNEN which is best suited for temporary, low-use spaces.
  • 💪 Long-Term Durability
    DECKO tiles are made to last over 10 years in tough Aussie conditions — heat, rain, and UV don't break them down.
  • 🧼 No Maintenance
    No oiling, no sealing, no sanding — just install and enjoy.
  • 🦶 Safe and Slip-Resistant
    With textured, grippy surfaces, DECKO tiles stay safe underfoot even when wet. Ideal for balconies, poolside areas, and patios.
  • 🔧 Better Design
    DECKO's elevated interlocking base improves airflow and drainage, helping prevent mould and water damage over time.
  • 🧩 Easy DIY Installation
    Snap together tiles in minutes. No tools, glue, or screws needed — just a solid, secure fit every time.
