What is the cost difference between installing the Ipe decking tiles versus a traditional deck?

August 12th, 2011

Diamond Essence Ipe Door Mat

Since you can install the Diamond Essence products yourself, the difference in installation cost is huge. Installation cost can vary from region to region but it would not be unlikely that the homeowner could pay between $3.00 and $4.00 per sqft for installation on a standard deck that installs the traditional way. The average sqft of a deck would be around 400sqft so there is a cost savings of between $1200 and $1600 for installation costs if done by the homeowner and approx. 1/2 this cost if done by a qualified contractor as the time required to install this type of system is much, much less than standard deck boards. Also, if you compare the cost of building a hardwood deck the traditional way, the materials costs alone would be far higher. Typically, you can expect that a Diamond Essence deck tile installation will be less than half the cost of building a conventional hardwood deck. Diamond Essence Outdoor Flooring also offers more possibilities in terms of design, and can easily be taken up and reinstalled in another location if needed. If you are installing the tiles over an existing concrete patio or balcony consider the massive savings in time, cost and the backbreaking work of digging up and re-laying the concrete pad
The Diamond Essence Ipe decking tile can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com

Cutek® Wood Preservative is available in 18 different color tones.

June 3rd, 2011

 

 

Cutek Green Wood Preservative

Exterior wood coated with Clear Cutek® Wood Preservative will silver with age. Specially formulated colour-tones may be obtained to mix with clear Cutek® Wood Preservative to maintain the natural wood color character, delay silvering, and retain the “freshly oiled look” for longer. When selecting from the range of color-tones allow for the wood color to naturally lighten during the first three to eight months after application, as natural weathering and leaching occurs. Retention of color is more durable on rusticated, or band sawn timbers, and may be maximised by including the color-tone in all applications of Cutek® Wood Preservative. If color-toned Cutek® Wood Preservative has faded over time, wash wood with SARA Clean and apply a single coat of color-toned Cutek® Wood Preservative to restore the original look of the protected timber.

The color mixture comes in packets that are mixed into the 1 gallon contents of clear Cutek Green. Simply stir after pouring the color packets in and your ready to go.

Cutek Green is available for sale in North America through Otter Creek and they can be reached by calling 1-800-981-3590 or by purchasing the product at www.myocstore.com
