Diamond Essence Ipe Flooring Tiles

December 29th, 2011

Diamond Essence Ipe Flooring Tiles

I’m in the process of resurfacing my existing deck and wanted to leave the existing structure in place. I wanted to upgrade to a more modern surface but was unsure how I would choose a product that would best suite the look I was wanting to achieve as well as a product that could be installed without having to spend a lot of money in installation costs. I started by researching products on the Internet and came across several items I thought would be best suited for my project.

I knew I was wanting something in wood as I like the natural feel and look of wood but I also wanted something that was modern and durable. After many days of reseaching I came a across a product called Diamond Essence from Otter Creek. Its a Ipe flooring system that can go directly over existing decking and it comes in a tile format with different patterns. I had the company send me a few samples (which they sent to me for free) and I made a simple door mat to see if I would consider covering my entire deck with the product. I was very pleased with the outcome as the Ipe tiles were simple to install and went down on the surface very quickly as the tiles simply lock together.

The Ipe flooring tiles came in a box and they were prefinished so I did not have to worry about putting a finish coat on after they were installed. They also had finishing edges that framed my main tiles and gave a nice finished look. The Ipe tiles come in 12×12 and 12×24 sizes and they also have a tile that has a diamond shaped appearance cut out in the centre which provides an additional enhancement to the deck.

The Ipe tiles were not cheap (cost was around $12.00 per sqft) but I figured I had saved $3.00 or $4.00 per sqft if I had installed a traditional random board surface and the best thing I could install it myself. There were other companies selling a similar product but I liked the quality of the Ipe I received and the customer surface was exceptional. I had placed my order by phone but you can also place an order online at www.myocstore.com

Ipe Decking Tiles for Terrace Living

April 25th, 2011

A terraceis an outdoor, occupiable extension of a building above ground level. Although its physical characteristics may vary to a great degree, a terrace will generally be larger than a balcony and will have an “open-top” facing the sky. Terraces are highly versatile in terms of functionality and can be used for a variety of activities including, but not limited to: gardening, relaxation, entertaining guests, sunbathing, and barbecuing. Sometimes, there is a hot tub, jacuzzi, or a small swimming pool on terraces. There may also be an outdoor kitchen or a barbecue grill. Extra space adds value to the property and thus why you should consider carefully what building materials to use to add the greatest selling value and everyday use. The Diamond Essence Ipe decking tile would make an excellent wood flooring surface for your terrace. The tiles are made of Ipe (Brazilian Walnut) and they are simple to install and create a natural looking surface that would blend well with your landscaping materials on the terrace. If you would like to get further information and pricing about these tiles please visit www.myocstore.com or call 1-800-981-3590
