Otter Creek is pleased to announce that effective January 1st/2012 that Tim-Br Mart in Glen Huron, Ontario is a new dealer store for the Diamond Essence Ipe flooring tile. A deck is the ideal way to expand your living space and enhance your entire property. For a fraction of the cost of building an indoor room, decks provide entertainment space and three-season living.

Only your imagination and your comfort level with doing it yourself limit your deck design.

Diamond Essence is a high quality Ipe flooring designed to cover any exterior hard surface, transforming it into a wood outdoor floor. With a modular easy to install interlocking system, the carriage that supports the Ipe hardwood is made from weatherproof recycled products, designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Perfect for patios, balconies, walkways, pools, decking refurbishments and entrances. Diamond Essence is ideal for use where conventional decking would not be suitable, such as balconies and rooftops.

Diamond Essence outdoor flooring is made from nature’s best tropical hardwood species, Ipe (Brazilian Walnut), with ecological sustainable forestry and recycled materials. This tropical hardwood is simply the best wood for exteriors due to its natural strength and durability to the outdoor environment.

Otter Creek is seeking interested companies who may wish to become a dealer for the Diamond Essence Ipe flooring tile. To date the company has 10 stores marketing and promoting the product. The company currently stocks container quantities at its warehouse outside of Toronto, Canada.

Diamond Essence Ipe Flooring Tiles

December 29th, 2011

Diamond Essence Ipe Flooring Tiles

I’m in the process of resurfacing my existing deck and wanted to leave the existing structure in place. I wanted to upgrade to a more modern surface but was unsure how I would choose a product that would best suite the look I was wanting to achieve as well as a product that could be installed without having to spend a lot of money in installation costs. I started by researching products on the Internet and came across several items I thought would be best suited for my project.

I knew I was wanting something in wood as I like the natural feel and look of wood but I also wanted something that was modern and durable. After many days of reseaching I came a across a product called Diamond Essence from Otter Creek. Its a Ipe flooring system that can go directly over existing decking and it comes in a tile format with different patterns. I had the company send me a few samples (which they sent to me for free) and I made a simple door mat to see if I would consider covering my entire deck with the product. I was very pleased with the outcome as the Ipe tiles were simple to install and went down on the surface very quickly as the tiles simply lock together.

The Ipe flooring tiles came in a box and they were prefinished so I did not have to worry about putting a finish coat on after they were installed. They also had finishing edges that framed my main tiles and gave a nice finished look. The Ipe tiles come in 12×12 and 12×24 sizes and they also have a tile that has a diamond shaped appearance cut out in the centre which provides an additional enhancement to the deck.

The Ipe tiles were not cheap (cost was around $12.00 per sqft) but I figured I had saved $3.00 or $4.00 per sqft if I had installed a traditional random board surface and the best thing I could install it myself. There were other companies selling a similar product but I liked the quality of the Ipe I received and the customer surface was exceptional. I had placed my order by phone but you can also place an order online at www.myocstore.com
