What product should I use to clean and restore my Ipe deck?

May 20th, 2011

Tigerwood Decking Brown Sugar Applied

Our company Otter Creek located in Ontario, Canada has a couple of product lines the work well when trying to restore or finish a Ipe, Tigerwood or Cumaru deck for the first time or restoring after several years. We have found good results in the Woodrich Hardwood Finishing Kit and the Cutek Green products. Both products have attributes that other stain and sealers don’t offer. The Woodrich product is formulated with natural pigments that are found in Ipe (Amaretto color formula) and with Tigerwood and Cumaru its the (Brown Sugar color formula). When applied because the stain is formulated to the natural pigments found in these tropical hardwood species it takes longer for the UV rays to break down the wood surface which in turn results in graying of the wood surface. Most homeowners and contractors are finding they only need to apply once every two years. The other big plus is the product will not peel and flake which is a very big issue when dealing with stain products for hardwoods.

The  Cutek Green works in a similar way but deeper penetration occurs with this product because it has a special wood preservative formula that migrates through the entire pc of wood (not just the surface) and provides additional stability to species such as tropical hardwoods and domestic species such a Pressure Treated Spruce, Pine, Fir and Western Red Cedar. The migration takes place within the living cells of the wood that contain water and drives the water out making the wood product more stable and protected against rot, twist and warping of your deck boards. Its available in 18 different stain colors and the colors come in packets that you mix into the clear product. Decking contractors like this product because it can be wet stacked which speeds up the installation time. Because the penetration rate is quicker than most products there is no worry of lap marks or brush stroke marks appearing from stopping and starting over a hour or days time.

Both of these products can be purchased at Otter Creek  by shopping online at www.myocstore.com or by calling 1-800-981-3590.

What product should I use to clean and restore my Pressure Treated deck?

May 17th, 2011

 

Cutek Green Wood Restoration

There seems to be many cleaning and restoring wood products on the marketplace today but many of them do not seem to work as well as they state they will. Deck cleaning can be a labor of love at the best of times and having to perform this task each spring can be exhausting to say the least. Most decks in Canada are made from pressure treated Spruce and I have discovered that most homeowners and contractors are needing a product that can clean and restore the deck surface easily and cost effectively. Cutek Green wood cleaner and restoring product is the best product I have come across in a long time. I like this product because not only does it effectively clean and restore your deck surface but it also has a chemical agent that migrates through the wood that helps prevent against warp and twist of pressure treated decking and we all know this can be a big problem in pressure treated product because of the high moisture content that can exist when purchased from the building retailer. The wood preservative that is used migrates through the entire pc of wood and drives out the moisture that exists in the wood cells thus making the wood more stable. Our company Otter Creek  is the Canadian distributor for this product and we would be glad to discuss its benefits in detail with any Canadian or U.S. homeowners and contractors by calling us at 1-800-981-3590 or this product can be purchased online at www.myocstore.com
