How level does the surface beneath the carriage have to be where the Ipe decking tiles will be laid?

August 8th, 2011

Diamond Essence Ipe Door Mat

The carriages can “bridge” about 3/8 in. of vertical mismatch in a concrete sub-surface as long as any such cracking doesn’t lie directly below the tile joins. Excessive unevenness in a concrete surface will need to be repaired with a patching compound or resurfaced prior to installation.  The Ipe tile can also be installed over any surface such as concrete or a existing wood deck as long as the surface is flat enough to make the tiles lay smooth against one another. Shimming can be done below the tile top some extent but the best results are achieved if starting with as flat a surface as possible.
The Diamond Essence Ipe decking tile can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com

Landscape with Brazilian Walnut (Ipe) Decking Tile

April 22nd, 2011

Brazilian Walnut (Ipe) Decking and Patio Tile

I have a nice backyard garden and I wanted to incorporate a ground level patio near the gardens so I could enjoy them from closeup. I searched around the Internet for product that would blend in well with my landscape and came across the “Diamond Essence” Ipe decking tile. I asked the supplier to send me a small sample to see how the product looked and when I received it I felt this was the right product for my project. I liked the fact that it can be used on direct ground or concrete surfaces and then tiles were easy to handle and made of top quality wood and other materials. I decided to make a concrete surface and laid the Ipe tiles on top and they lock together using small clips on the sides of the tiles. The hardest thing about the entire project was the concrete construction but the tiles went together in no time. I had my project done in an afternoon and I was very impressed with the final outcome. I showed the tiles to my landscaping company that had done our gardens and they were very impressed with the quality of the product. You can purchase this from a copmpany called Otter Creek from their store called www.myocstore.com . They stock the product in Canada from their warehouse near Toronto and it ships within a few days.
