It is the squares. but they lock together into a mat that can be rolled up and removed easily, and just as easily re installed after hosing off.

I replaced the Ikea wood tiles with one-piece tiles. They are the Runnen product from Ikea.

The wood tiles lasted several years. However, last year when I pulled them out for the winter, some of the plastic backing that holds the wood slats broke down. The new tiles are one piece and don't need to be varnished. The lighter color will also be cooler after baking in the sun.

About US$100.

Yep. I used the the Dri-Dek solution for my 06 23' with fixed floor cockpit.I used it to run under the fuel tanks to allow water to run to the bilge without rotting the aluminum tanks while keeping the cockpit sole dry.I live in Florida where the sun is strong and the Dri-Dek has proven to be historically resilient.The product is available in tiles and sheet goods,you can purchase direct from Dri-Dek.As noted before,this product is plyable and will 'creep',but not buckle under foot,is resistant to scuffs and impact,cool to the touch but NOT kind to barefeet.Having said that;I do like the idea of the Ikea tiles,maybe the 'Astro-Turf' for the upcoming tailgate season.Yuk,Yuk.

Do they get hot in the sun like a composite wood deck on a house?

Hi Dave.The Dri-Dek is not hot to the touch,They are more air than plastic,so its ventilated instead of solid.Also pick a light color to asist,I picked light tan ,matched my original color.You should have no problem in new england.
