Hamilton Brothers Tim-Br Mart

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. Not only can the addition of a new deck increase the enjoyment that you get from your home, it can also increase the resale value. 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.

Cutek Green and exposted wood products outdoor.

June 1st, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Preservative before and after

Woods such as cedar and some hardwood species are naturally durable and are therefore commonly used for wood exposed outdoors, such as weathered siding, shakes and shingles, decks, furniture, and fences. Durability is imparted by natural chemicals, which are contained in extractives in the heartwood of these species. Heartwood is the center part of the wood; the outer part is sapwood

Since only the heartwood contains extractives, wood that contains a high proportion of sapwood does not have the natural durability of wood that contains a high proportion of heartwood.

Wood is the material of choice for many structures. As with any building material, how wood is used depends on its properties, such as strength and stiffness, as well as its finishing characteristics and maintenance requirements. Problems such as poor finish performance, mildew, checking and splitting, and wood decay can be controlled with proper care and maintenance. Such problems can be avoided or attenuated through knowledge about the factors that affect wood, particularly wood exposed outdoors. If wood structures are given proper care initially and are maintained periodically, they can be functional and structurally sound, as well as aesthetically pleasing, for decades.

Properly seasoned wood that stays dry is not subject to decay, premature failure of paints and finishes, and problems associated with weathering, such as excessive splitting and checking, raised grain, extractive bleed, and discoloration. This is why you should be considering Cutek Green for application to any outdoor wood projects, either on new projects or restoring weathered wood projects.

Otter Creek is the Canadian distributor for Cutek Green and we would be glad to discuss your specific wood project and how Cutek Creek can be of help in keeping your wood preserved and structurally sound for years to come by calling 1-800-981-3590 and you can purchase this product online at www.myocstore.com

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.
