Ecobust is great for breaking concrete.

April 23rd, 2012

Ecobust Product Packaging

Walked through the Home Hardware store the other day and noticed a producted called Ecobust. I asked one of the attendants to explain how it worked and discovered that Ecobust can eliminate the need for heavy equipment or back breaking jack hammers to break up concrete.

It explained on the pail that it was a  a three step process of drill, mix and pour. Ecobust comes in 11lb and 44lb pails and its in a powder form. It gets mixed with water and then you stir it into a slurry like chocolate milk and then pour it into the holes that must be drilled into the concrete prior to starting. The holes must be 1 1/2″ in diameter to achieve the best results.

After the pour is done within the drilled holes you leave it and as it dries it expands to 20,000 PSI and will break your concrete up. The attendant said it would normally take 24 hours and the concrete would be broke up.

Ecobust www.ecobust.ca is distributed in Ontario by Otter Creek and can be purchased at Home Hardware, Castle and Tim-Br Mart stores and further information about Ecobust can be obtained by calling Otter Creek at 1-800-981-3590

Aluminum decking is a great additon to any home.

April 19th, 2012

 

Wood Grain Aluminum Decking

There are many choices when it comes to picking material for your decking project and some are better and more expensive than others. When it comes to a truly maintenance free deck I believe the choice should be aluminum. It is very stable and definitely durable and comes in lengths that are 12ft – 24ft long.

Last Deck has been producing aluminum decking for many years and Otter Creek has been the distributor in Canada for several years now. Customers call asking about the benefits of aluminum vs other wood or composite materials and inevitably the conversation gets back to the customer wanting a maintenance free deck and asking about the cost vs benefits of aluminum.

Last Deck produces both a non wood grain and wood grain pattern. The non wood grain is available in 9 different colors and the wood grain is available in 7 colors. There is both a Series 100 which is used when a water seal is not required and a Series 200 when a water seal is required. Cost for the non wood grain will average around $8.00 per sqft and the wood grain will cost approx $12.00 per sqft.

If you would like further information about Last Deck aluminum decking please visit www.lastdeck.com or you can visit www.ottercreekforestproducts.com . Otter Creek has a decking accessory store where samples can be purchased at www.myocstore.com or by calling 1-800-981-3590
