Wood Plaza Pavers are an untreated, low maintenance, natural product made from Ipe wood. All wood options are known for their high density, strength, durability and resistantance to decay and insects. Depending on climatic conditions, Wood Plaza Pavers will develop an aged patina and faded coloring as they age. The ends of the wood tiles are sealed with wax at the factory to prevent splitting. Additional cuts made in the field should be sealed. Wax on ends can bleed into wood and be visible, but should become less noticeable over time.
