Parquet Tiles OUTDOORS?

[maradcliff]

I just saw on tv a place that has a wood parquet tile floor OUTDOORS next to a pool. No roof over it. Unless it's some vinyl that looks extremely realistic, it appeared to be the real thing. I have seen those floor come loose, warp and curl from a sink overflow, so how in the heck can it be used outdoors. Even if the adhesive was waterproof, the tiles will still warp and curl. Anyone know anything about this?

I dought its wood, floors today can be made to look like most anything natural .

Ain't wood. Most likely they are ceramic tile. I've seen tile such as you describe and some of it is amazingly life like....for a dead tree.
