Advantages of multiple squares over individual end grain tiles:
  • The squares will be easier to lay than individual tiles and so require less technical skill from the flooring contractor: potentially a DIY product
  • The squares can be factory produced to standard specification under quality controlled conditions
  • The production method may be more cost effective
  • They will possess the same advantages as the individual tiles, namely durability and attractive appearance
