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

Cutek Extreme Wood Preservative

CUTEKExtreme® is suitable for use as a clear, water repellent preservative coating on exterior wood and timber surfaces, however clear coated surfaces will quickly silver off on exposure to sunlight to produce a natural weathered appearance. Wood or timber that is coated with clear CUTEKExtreme® will still retain its dimensional stability and bio-toxicity characteristics. If this natural silvering of the wood surface is undesirable, then colortoned CUTEKExtreme® must be used to delay the silvering process in addition to maintaining and enhancing the natural character and color of freshly oiled timber. Colortoned CUTEKExtreme® can still look like a clear finish, depending on the colortone selected.

Cutek Extreme is distributed throughout Canada by Otter Creek and can be purchased by calling 1-800-981-3590 or visiting the companies online store at www.myocstore.com
