Aluminum decking is a great additon to any home.

April 19th, 2012

 

Wood Grain Aluminum Decking

There are many choices when it comes to picking material for your decking project and some are better and more expensive than others. When it comes to a truly maintenance free deck I believe the choice should be aluminum. It is very stable and definitely durable and comes in lengths that are 12ft – 24ft long.

Last Deck has been producing aluminum decking for many years and Otter Creek has been the distributor in Canada for several years now. Customers call asking about the benefits of aluminum vs other wood or composite materials and inevitably the conversation gets back to the customer wanting a maintenance free deck and asking about the cost vs benefits of aluminum.

Last Deck produces both a non wood grain and wood grain pattern. The non wood grain is available in 9 different colors and the wood grain is available in 7 colors. There is both a Series 100 which is used when a water seal is not required and a Series 200 when a water seal is required. Cost for the non wood grain will average around $8.00 per sqft and the wood grain will cost approx $12.00 per sqft.

Using Cutek Extreme Wood Preservative on Log Homes

December 21st, 2011

Cutek Wood Preservative on Ipe Decking

Your cabin is your home away from home and the exterior should be maintained, if left untreated the exposed wood will naturally turn grey, this is the effect of the ultra violet rays that will break down a woods finish, the more pigment a wood has the better it will resist UV rays. A darker wood will maintain its colour for longer. You can apply linseed oil, which is the traditional method. In Canada we use Cutek Extreme, a treatment that is specially formulated to resist fungus and mould, it is also designed to penetrate deeply, providing water repellency. This treatment also gives you the option of  choosing the colour you wish your cabin to maintain, as you may prefer the natural greying, or may wish to stain the wood completely, there are various colours to choose from. The 40z colourtone gets mixed into the 1 gallon Cutek Extreme clear container.

Cutek Extreme is distributed throughout Canada by Otter Creek and product can be purchased by calling them at 1-800-981-3590 or by purchasing it at the companies online store at www.myocstore.com

Can I lay Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles on a conventional deck sub frame resting on the wood joists?

July 18th, 2011

Diamond Essence Ipe Decking Tile Barbeque

Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles are not designed to be fastened directly on joists. They must be laid on a solid surface.  If you have an exisiting wood deck that is flat and want to cover it up with the Diamond Essence Ipe wood decking tiles that will work as long as the additional weight of the Ipe decking tiles will still be supported by the existing deck frame. Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles can be installed on any type of flat surface such as wood, concrete and rubber.
The Ipe decking tiles can be purchased through numerous Canadian dealer stores or  by buying them online at www.myocstore.com

Cutek Green Wood Preservative for wood decking.

May 26th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Restoration

I tried this product on a pc of Pressure Treated Spruce and within a matter of minutes it had soaked entirely through the entire pc of wood. I have used several other wood preservatives and have never seen anything like this product. This product will seek out the water filled cells within the pc of wood and migrate to the cells and drive the moisture out. It does make sense when you think about it. If you have little or no moisture within a pc of wood the less likely you would get rot, twist and warp of your deck boards. I also like the fact that this product acts not only as a wood preservative but also seals and beautifies your deck. The Cutek Green comes in clear 5L containers and there are 18 different colors that are contained within packets and you simply pick your color and pour and stir into the clear Cutek. This product was formulated by a company in Australia called Chemisys Group where for many years they have developed effective stains and sealers for Australian species of wood that are subject to the extreme temperature conditions in that country. They are now bringing their product to the North American marketplace so decking contractors and homeowners will have available to them this really great product.

Otter Creek is the Canadian distributor and product can be purchased through them by calling 1-800-981-3590 or visiting their online store at www.myocstore.com
