Tigerwood Bench with Brown Sugar Formula Applied

Otter Creek is a leading distributor of decking accessories in Canada. It carries a product from Woodrich that Canadian homeowners and contractors can apply to their hardwood decking such as Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood. The product is called “Hardwood Wiping Stain” and the colors are suited towards the natural color pigments found in Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood.  The Ipe formula is called “Amaretto” and when applied it enhances the natural color of Ipe. The other formula they carry is called “Brown Sugar” and when applied to Cumru or Tigerwood it enhances the natural color tone of these two species.  The product is  carried in 1 gallon and 5 gallon sizes.  Two gallons will do 500sqft of deck surface, four gallons will do 500-1000sqt of deck surface and five gallons will do 1000sqft to 1500sqft of deck surface. This product will normally last tow years between coats depending on the consumers preference to final appearance. If you apply each year it will provide a better appearance than if applied every other year. What is nice about this product is it will not peel or flake. Otter Creek  performed numerous longevity tests of the product prior to bringing the product on.

Cutek Wood Preservative Products coming to Canada.

April 28th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Preservative before and after

In 2001 Chemisys Australia opened a manufacturing plant in Brisbane to produce Cutek for the Australian market. Together they service the Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australian markets

In 2011, Chemisys brought their product to the United States and Canada to expand the great results they achieved with their nature woods in Australia. This product can be used on all types of softwood and hardwoods such as Pressure Treated Pine or Spruce, Western Red Cedar, Hemlock, Oaks and Maples and can even be used on the increasingly poplular tropical hardwoods such as Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood.

They believe the unique properties of Cutek will see it replace most other timberpreservative and coating products. “This all-in-one timber preservative and coating oil is unique because it deeply penetrates the timber substrate, providing superior water repellence and assisting with long-term dimensional stability,”

The success of Cutek in both the commercial and residential sector has been “quite spectacular.” Architects and builders are attracted to Cutek because of the reduced maintenance cycle and because it’s so easy to apply. “Cutek doesn’t require any special application tools or the use of any primers,”

Timber coated with Cutek only requires a simple wash down before re-coating. There is no sanding or stripping needed. Cutek is available in either a clear coat or a wide range of natural colour tones. Able to be used on any species of wood, Cutek enhances the natural beauty of wood without hiding the grain.

Another feature that appeals to the building industry is the fact that Cutek is best applied immediately. Other coating products need time for the timber to release its natural water-soluble extractives (tannins) before application. This 3-6 months waiting time is prohibitive for most commercial building. It also contributes to unwanted movement, shrinkage and staining of the timber. There has been a dramatic increase in requests for Cutek treated timber for large-scale exterior projects.
If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for your next project please contact Robert Abbott at Otter Creek and he can be reached at 1-800-981-3590 or by visiting their online store at www.myocstore.com

What product should I use to finish my Cumaru decking?

April 21st, 2011

Woodrich Hardwood Finishing Kit. I used it on my Cumaru deck and I liked the results. If you buy the “kit” it provides you the cleaner, brightener and the finishing product and comes in packages to accommodate the sqft size of your deck. They have a 500 sqft and less package and a 500 sqft to 1000 sqft and 1000 sqft and over package. Most homeowners do not realize that their deck is dirty after supplier storage, transportation and construction of the deck and it needs to be cleaned and brightened before applying the finishing product. The cleaning and brightener product is granular and comes in 2lb and 10lb sizes. You simply mix the product in water and spray on and spray off. This gives the surface of your deck a new beginning and ready for the application of the Woodrich finishing product. This product is formulated to the natural color pigments of Cumaru (Brazilian Teak) and thus lasts longer as it takes longer for the UV light to break down the surface of the Cumaru. I also like the fact that it does not peel. I have tried numerous other products and I was always left with peeling issues.  The stain formula is called “Brown Sugar” and the product can be purchased at www.myocstore.com
