Will the Ipe decking tiles warp in hot, humid conditions?

Hot and humid conditions do not affect the wood.  The small gaps designed and left between the slats of wood allow the wood to naturally expand and contract as needed. Under some conditions, a slight cupping of the wood slats may occur after heavy rainfall, but this will disappear as the surface dries not unlike any other deck surface. The Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles are very stable because each slat is just 2 3/4″ wide x 12″ and 24″ long, making them very stable. Rule is that the wider and longer a pc. of wood is the less stable it becomes.

Will the Ipe decking tiles grow mold or mildew?

In normal conditions, the gaps between the wood slats and the special mesh carriage ensure good airflow and quick drying which inhibits mold and mildew growth on the wood. If installed in exterior areas, which remain, damp and out of direct sunlight, then some growth of mold or mildew may occur as with any conventional exterior wood surface. Otter Creek offers a mild stripper called EFC-38 which can be applied to the wood to clean the surface of the mold and mildew if it becomes a problem.

Ipe Decking Tile

Certainly. However, you should take care that if any crumbs or other food particles fall in the gaps between the wood slats, they should be vacuumed away promptly. The Ipe decking tiles make great indoor sauna and hot tub flooring surrounds. The Ipe decking tiles can be used in covered sunrooms, just about anywhere you desire indoors as long as you have a flat surface to put the Ipe decking tiles on. The tiles can be taken up fairly easily if required to clean the surface below.
The Ipe decking tiles can be purchased at several Canadain Retail Stores or by visiting www.myocstore.com
