What is the difference between Ipe decking tiles and random length Ipe decking?

August 19th, 2011

Installing Ipe Decking Tile Over Existing Surface

The difference is in the construction, installation and use of the products. The Ipe decking tile comes in 12″x12″ and 12″x24″ sizes and random length Ipe comes from 6ft to 16ft. Random length Ipe decking attaches to the top of existing 2×6 joists. The Ipe decking tiles get installed over existing older deck surfaces such as pressure treated, cedar or any older deck surface that you wish to cover up because its no longer looks nice or no longer fits the landscape surroundings. The random length Ipe decking is not condusive to using in applications such as balconies or rooftops as its  just not as convenient to get the random length product onto the job site. The Ipe decking tiles come in boxes which can be easily stored at job site and also can be handled very easily by one person. Random length Ipe must be installed using face mounted fasteners or hidden deck fasteners where there is no required fasteners to install the Ipe decking tiles as they simply snap and lock into place which will resultin hundreds of dollars of cost savings vs standard face mounting or hidden deck fastener installations. Random length Ipe decking will cost somewhere between $8.00 and $10.00 per sqft for a 5/4×6 deck board and another $3.00 to $4.00 to install including labor and fastening supplies. The Ipe decking tiles sell retail for between $13.00 and $15..00  per sqft which is slightly higher vs random length Ipe, but where you can install, andthe cost and ease of installing, the Ipe decking tiles provides a much greater advantage over random length decking.

The Ipe Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com

Wood Post Anchor from Titan Post Anchor Products new innovation.

December 24th, 2009

titan-package-blk-400

Need a post anchor that will hold down almost anything than your search is over by purchasing the Titan Post Anchor. The Titan Post Anchor is an internal anchoring system for wood posts in both 4×4 and 6×6 sizes. The wood post anchoring system is the first of its kind when it comes to the application of fastening a wood post to deck or porch surface. Homeowners and building contractors can now fasten a wood post to a wood or concrete surface without having to look at those ugly external fasteners. The Titan has a long center tube that is placed within the center of the wood post by drilling into the core of the post with a hole saw and then fastened with galvanized lags from the underside of the post anchor. Once this is done you simply fasten the wood post with the anchor attached to any location on your deck surface. Make sure you nail in some 2×6 or 2×8 wood blocks between your deck joists so you can obtain maximum holding strength. The Titan Post Anchor can be purchased at several Canadian Retailers or by going to www.myocstore.com
