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.
