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.

What is the cost difference between installing the Ipe decking tiles versus a traditional deck?

August 12th, 2011

Diamond Essence Ipe Door Mat

Since you can install the Diamond Essence products yourself, the difference in installation cost is huge. Installation cost can vary from region to region but it would not be unlikely that the homeowner could pay between $3.00 and $4.00 per sqft for installation on a standard deck that installs the traditional way. The average sqft of a deck would be around 400sqft so there is a cost savings of between $1200 and $1600 for installation costs if done by the homeowner and approx. 1/2 this cost if done by a qualified contractor as the time required to install this type of system is much, much less than standard deck boards. Also, if you compare the cost of building a hardwood deck the traditional way, the materials costs alone would be far higher. Typically, you can expect that a Diamond Essence deck tile installation will be less than half the cost of building a conventional hardwood deck. Diamond Essence Outdoor Flooring also offers more possibilities in terms of design, and can easily be taken up and reinstalled in another location if needed. If you are installing the tiles over an existing concrete patio or balcony consider the massive savings in time, cost and the backbreaking work of digging up and re-laying the concrete pad
The Diamond Essence Ipe decking tile can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com

How do I help protect my Ipe decking tiles from fading?

August 11th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Preservative

Any hardwood deck will eventually fade and turn grey if not treated with preservative oil at regular intervals. Although the Ipe tiles are pre-finished with preservative oil containing UV absorbing properties, the oil will not provide a permanent protection against fading or graying of the timber. To assist in preserving the original wood color as long as possible, we recommended that a good quality decking oil such as Cutek Green (Clear) or Woodrich  (in the Amaretto color) be applied every six to 12 months depending on the climatic conditions. Ipe is a dense exotic hardwood and it does take longer for the UV light from the sun to turn the surface grey but this does not effect the structural integrity of Ipe. If left untreated Ipe will turn a silvery patina grey color which some homeowners like. This product can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com
