Aluminum decking is a great additon to any home.

Wood Grain Aluminum Decking

There are many choices when it comes to picking material for your decking project and some are better and more expensive than others. When it comes to a truly maintenance free deck I believe the choice should be aluminum. It is very stable and definitely durable and comes in lengths that are 12ft – 24ft long.

Last Deck has been producing aluminum decking for many years and Otter Creek has been the distributor in Canada for several years now. Customers call asking about the benefits of aluminum vs other wood or composite materials and inevitably the conversation gets back to the customer wanting a maintenance free deck and asking about the cost vs benefits of aluminum.

Last Deck produces both a non wood grain and wood grain pattern. The non wood grain is available in 9 different colors and the wood grain is available in 7 colors. There is both a Series 100 which is used when a water seal is not required and a Series 200 when a water seal is required. Cost for the non wood grain will average around $8.00 per sqft and the wood grain will cost approx $12.00 per sqft.

Can I use the Ipe decking tiles for steps, stairs or edges?

August 16th, 2011

Ipe Decking Tile

Ipe decking tiles can only be used for steps or stairs if they are screwed securely to the base of the stairway or if you glue them with “Concrete Glue”.  Additionally, end capping should be fixed to the edge of the tile to hide the plastic base. For the vertical edges transitioning down to the next step or to ground level, we recommend detaching the wood from the plastic base and affixing it to the surface with a quality adhesive designed for wood, and also designed for the surface you are attaching it to. You can also cover the edge of the carriage on the step above with this piece of wood. If you have a radius or curved edge that you need to cover, we recommend using bender board (available at hardware or lumber stores) that closely matches the color of the wood tile.  A contractor should fix any extremely hard installations.  
The Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com
