How do I help protect my Ipe decking tiles from fading?

August 11th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Preservative

Any hardwood deck will eventually fade and turn grey if not treated with preservative oil at regular intervals. Although the Ipe tiles are pre-finished with preservative oil containing UV absorbing properties, the oil will not provide a permanent protection against fading or graying of the timber. To assist in preserving the original wood color as long as possible, we recommended that a good quality decking oil such as Cutek Green (Clear) or Woodrich  (in the Amaretto color) be applied every six to 12 months depending on the climatic conditions. Ipe is a dense exotic hardwood and it does take longer for the UV light from the sun to turn the surface grey but this does not effect the structural integrity of Ipe. If left untreated Ipe will turn a silvery patina grey color which some homeowners like. This product can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com

Cutek Green Wood Preservative for wood decking.

May 26th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Restoration

I tried this product on a pc of Pressure Treated Spruce and within a matter of minutes it had soaked entirely through the entire pc of wood. I have used several other wood preservatives and have never seen anything like this product. This product will seek out the water filled cells within the pc of wood and migrate to the cells and drive the moisture out. It does make sense when you think about it. If you have little or no moisture within a pc of wood the less likely you would get rot, twist and warp of your deck boards. I also like the fact that this product acts not only as a wood preservative but also seals and beautifies your deck. The Cutek Green comes in clear 5L containers and there are 18 different colors that are contained within packets and you simply pick your color and pour and stir into the clear Cutek. This product was formulated by a company in Australia called Chemisys Group where for many years they have developed effective stains and sealers for Australian species of wood that are subject to the extreme temperature conditions in that country. They are now bringing their product to the North American marketplace so decking contractors and homeowners will have available to them this really great product.

Otter Creek is the Canadian distributor and product can be purchased through them by calling 1-800-981-3590 or visiting their online store at www.myocstore.com
