Light and shadow - Last Update 02:04:15

We have the wood tiles ordered two orders in the past 2014. I have this installed on a 14 square meter balcony. That reminds me, the impregnation was very weak before, I have dealt with all the wooden tiles again with teak and hardwood oil. Then I laid the tile and have become almost insane. I had to correct as many tiles on their plastic, so that they fit into each other. Others, however, are "clicked" with no problems in their holes.

Now, after just one winter, the wood of some tiles will be brittle. Probably it is the snow which has made a long time liquid in the wood tiles. My mother in law recommended the wooden tiles to complain, but the one I had to tinker with almost every tile, on the other hand the manufacturer will say rightly that the tiles have to be covered in the winter or if I mishandled. In the spring I have probably a greater work to do, as I have to sand the wood tiles and they must (no Baumarkt-08/15 articles) treated with a glaze of good, German home. I have the wooden tiles covered too late with foil.

I want to represent all buyers my findings at a glance:
Benefits
+ Look really classy when the tiles are ultimately routed
+ Values ​​the balcony on massive / eyecatcher
+ Problems with the paper between the tiles seem to be resolved
+ Low
+ Rainwater flows nicely from under the tiles

Disadvantages
- Tiles of different deliveries (same carton / same number) barely fit into each other
- Timber bursts after the first winter away, so you regrinding or repair themselves should
- Book is also "easy"

I would not buy the wood tiles and instead grab a little deeper into your wallet and take advice from a professional myself locally. There probably is a complaint falls also significantly lighter.

I have now as announced, sanded all wood tiles and newly varnished. Now they can be more than excellent. But I want to show all the possible prospects based on the photos yet, as the tiles have looked after the first winter and what you can make of it.

Once the tiles have been glazed 2 times, I'll set another image.

Last week I had the wood tile the 2nd time varnished with Remmers HK Stain Wood preservation glaze 2.5L chestnut. Now I realize the storm, wait for the constant rain and the weather in April, because the water runs now from beautiful and is no longer - as in the original sealing - for days on the tiles.
The attached photo shows the sun during a segment on the one hand the wood tiles in their new color "Chestnut" and proves impressively that there are definitely better glazes.

Clarification: My wood tiles from Stilista have not even survived a winter. What can be seen on the first picture, was grated glaze and the bare, wet wood and not described by the manufacturer as the "often estimated greyish patina". I sincerely hope that the manufacturer is working on the quality of the glaze and not let the potential buyers blinded by the beautiful pictures of the seller.
