What product should I use to clean and restore my Ipe deck?

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.

This product will give Canadian and U.S. Homeowners something to smile about when used. Cutek Green has been used in Australia for many years treating large timbers to protect against twist and warp. This patented formula acts like no other wood preservative in the marketplace. Once applied the product migrates through the entire pc of wood from surface to core. It seeks out water absorbed pours and extracts the moisture out of the pc of wood making the pc the wood much more stable and preserved at the same time. Decking contractors will also like the fact this product can be wet stacked and applied immediately to the deck surface. Imagine being able to treat your deck boards and being able to fasten the deck boards immediately to the deck surface without having to wait for the product to dry. Another great feature of this product is it can be applied partially one day and finished the next day without fear of having overlap marks of worry of color variation.

Cutek Wood Preservative Products coming to Canada.

Cutek Green Wood Preservative before and after

In 2001 Chemisys Australia opened a manufacturing plant in Brisbane to produce Cutek for the Australian market. Together they service the Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australian markets

In 2011, Chemisys brought their product to the United States and Canada to expand the great results they achieved with their nature woods in Australia. This product can be used on all types of softwood and hardwoods such as Pressure Treated Pine or Spruce, Western Red Cedar, Hemlock, Oaks and Maples and can even be used on the increasingly poplular tropical hardwoods such as Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood.

They believe the unique properties of Cutek will see it replace most other timberpreservative and coating products. “This all-in-one timber preservative and coating oil is unique because it deeply penetrates the timber substrate, providing superior water repellence and assisting with long-term dimensional stability,”

The success of Cutek in both the commercial and residential sector has been “quite spectacular.” Architects and builders are attracted to Cutek because of the reduced maintenance cycle and because it’s so easy to apply. “Cutek doesn’t require any special application tools or the use of any primers,”

Timber coated with Cutek only requires a simple wash down before re-coating. There is no sanding or stripping needed. Cutek is available in either a clear coat or a wide range of natural colour tones. Able to be used on any species of wood, Cutek enhances the natural beauty of wood without hiding the grain.

Another feature that appeals to the building industry is the fact that Cutek is best applied immediately. Other coating products need time for the timber to release its natural water-soluble extractives (tannins) before application. This 3-6 months waiting time is prohibitive for most commercial building. It also contributes to unwanted movement, shrinkage and staining of the timber. There has been a dramatic increase in requests for Cutek treated timber for large-scale exterior projects.

Hardwood Wiping Stain for Exotic and Tropical Hardwoods

rabbott — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:30:13 +0000

If you own a tropical or what they call exotic hardwood deck and and want to finish it for the first time or just put a new coat on it to make it to make it look new again the WoodRich Hardwood Wiping Stain product is the one you should be purchasing. WoodRich has spent several years developing this product specifically for hardwood decking. I had it applied on a friend of mine deck last fall and when I came back to look at it this spring I was amazed at how good the deck looked from being subjected to our long winter months here in Canada. His decking was made out of Cumaru and he had tried several other products over the last several years and was not happy with the out come.
