Woodrich Wood Decking Stripper

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.

Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles can be installed in one to two hours, depending on the size and complexity. Surfaces with curved edges or fitting around pipes etc. may take longer due to the extra carriage cutting required. No special tools are required during installation.

If necessary, each Ipe slat can be removed from the carriage simply buy using a screw driver and removing the stainless steel screws that hold each slat in place.

No. Installation of the tiles requires no adhesives, nails, screws or any other fixing devices. However if you prefer to have the product glued, use “Concrete Glue” which will secure the product even further, although it is not necessary.

This is why the Diamond Essence Ipe decking tile is so convenient to install as it requires no special tools. Each tile simply snaps and locks into place. You can cover one square foot simply by putting the tile into place.

Roof Top Ipe Decking Tile

The pressure on the tile base is normally distributed in such a way that no damage will occur. However, if you wish to take additional precautions, we suggest laying down a suitable geotextile mat before the tiles are laid. The ipe decking tiles are very popular when it comes to rooftop installations. The Ipe decking tiles provide a elegant looking finish to what would be a drab landscape. With rooftop flooring applications come a host of issues with getting product up to the rooftop. With the Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles they all come boxed so its much easier to get this product to the rooftop than traditional random length decking.

Ipe Decking Tile

We normally recommend that Diamond Essence be laid on well-compacted gravel rather than bare earth. If you wish to lay the product directly on bare ground or grass, we recommend covering the area to be laid with weed control mat before laying the tiles. In all cases, the ground should be firm, level and with a slight slope for drainage.
