Juxtaposing Water & Wood Outdoors

Since 1885, Hastings, a privately-owned company, has been a leading provider of decorative architectural products. Originally founded in Hastings-on-the Hudson New York, as a manufacturer of asphalt and concrete materials has now developed into Hastings Tile & Bath which influences contemporary style in the US.

Hastings Tile & Bath is moving into the outdoor living arena with this new contemporary porcelain-wood grain tile. The application looks like a traditional yet modern wood deck with none of the wear of traditional wood.

Juxtaposing water and wood can be an intimidating prospect. The PLI Distressed Wood Series uses porcelain tiles to create a ‘wood’ effect, without the troubles of maintaining wood itself. The tiles are non-slip, low to zero maintenance, and easy on the eyes and feet. The tiles are offered in white, black, and brown and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
