ABSTRACT
ting” Tiles as Wood Tiles”. A developmental material for wood tile. It aims to
develop the study of “ting – ting” as a new material for universal indoor tiles.
Universal indoor tile as for wall, floor, ceiling, and could be used as material or
decoration for furniture. Because our country is one of the largest producer of
coconuts in the world and the uses of coconut tree from the leaves down to roots
became popular. Lots of products are made from its various parts such as the
use of Coconut Tree products for building houses, decors, and even medicine
for the said product, to prove its potential to become more usable as other
construction materials.
information about the product. Through the test results, they come up with one
conclusion that Coconut leaf stick was durable and unique enough, and therefore
construction material and its unique design. The design of the top and bottom
layer of the coconut leaf stick tile gives more strength to the product.

The uses of coconut tree from the leaves down to roots are its main benefits for
many ages on tropical countries and slowly got introduce to other civilization.
Wide variety of products can be derived from its various parts such as the use of

stick, this is made from leaf stick of the coconut. This is used by most Filipinos as
one of the equipment used in the backyard. These coconut sticks are weak but
when bonded together it is very hard to bend and to break. This fact gave the
idea to the researchers to develop this study to bind the coconut sticks together
using a wood adhesive to form a tile. Because of its essentiality and availability in
For these past few years many researcher have tried to use many part of
the coconut as a new product. They produced lumbers out of the trunk of the
coconut tree, oils and medicine from its roots and fruits, and coconut husk used
in tree planting.
One of the popular contributions of the coconut tree is the coconut lumber
also called coco-lumber. The lumber is made from the finest trunk of the coconut
tree. Coconut wood can be a promising material for the manufacture of furniture,
novelties and other handicrafts due to its beautiful grain and attractive natural
walls, parquet floors can have a potential share not only in the domestic but also
One of the reason why people nowadays do not prefer to use wood tiles is
material for wood tiles with a cheaper price will surely become competitive in the
market. This time the researcher used the coconut leaf stick as an alternative to
wood tiles. Coconut “ting-ting” may be weak in one piece but when bonded
together it will very hard to break. These coconut leaf sticks were bonded

all parts of the coconut can be manufactured into commercial products. The
coconut provides food, shelter and fuel especially in countries in Asia and the
Pacific where it is abundantly grown. Unlike the many uses of the coconut fruits
and the leaves, it is perhaps not very well known that the coconut stem is equally
useful. It gives some characteristics of the tree and its wood relevant to

With hardwood flooring you are not stuck with a certain color or shade

exactly alike. This type of flooring is tough, strong, and even if you put or drop
something heavy on the floor, you do not have to worry about it getting dented or
scratched.
With hardwood floors, if you are tired of the color, you can sand and
refinish them several times. Another big advantage is that if you decide to sell
your home, hardwood floors will increase the value of your home and help the
home to sell faster. It is very versatile and can be used with any type of décor or
