Diamond Essence Ipe Door Mat

Provided the surface and supporting framework are structurally sound and the surface is even, the tiles are an ideal and cost effective way to bring an existing deck back to its former glory, and perhaps a better looking custom design deck with the Ipe (Brazilain Walnut) species offered by Diamond Essence.  Many customers cover up old decks with our Ipe decking tiles or they will accent a surface under a barbecue or entrance way. The tiles just take few munites to install and give a highend look to all or parts of your deck.

How do I apply Cutek Green wood preservative to my deck?

May 13th, 2011

 

Weathered Wood Finished With Cutek Green

You can apply Cutek Green Clear formula liberally with a spray, brush, or roller while remembering to remove drips and sags as necessary. When using the color-toned Cutek Green remember to stir the solution before and during application. The more precoat of Cutek Green is absorbed, the longer the coating will last. Equipment may be cleaned with detergent and water, or mineral turpentine.

Coverage

Spread rate is 1,000-1400 square feet per gallon

Maintenance

Cutek Green must be reapplied as frequently as necessary to retain the natural beauty and color of your wood deck. Recoat times vary widely according to the age and density of the wood species, and exporsure to weather the deck incurres. Typically horizontal exterior smooth surfaces exposed to full weather such as pool deck and handrails may require annual maintenance, while vertic rough sawn surfaces such as weathered siding may require maintenance less often.

How to preserve a hardwood deck in Canada

November 30th, 2010

When it comes to preserving your hardwood deck in Canada I would recommend trying the Woodrich Hardwood Wiping Stain. We have distributed this product for two years in Canada and our customers are very happy with the results.

The Woodrich Brand Wood Restoration and Preservation System involves 3 easy steps for keeping your wood deck, wood fence, wood siding or log home looking it’s best year round.
 
1.  Cleaning your wood to prepare it for refinishing.
2.  Brightening your wood to get it looking it’s best.
3.  Finishing your wood with a premium oil based stain and sealer.
 
Our goal is to make the entire process as simple and straightforward as it can be!
 
There are a few basic things everyone should know.  If you have a new deck, wood fence, wood siding, log cabin or garden deck it will need to be protected.  Because no exterior wood finish will last forever, we recommend a high quality oil based wood stain/sealer.
 
We also recommend that all exterior wood be cleaned and neutralized before applying any stain or sealer.  All wood finishes perform better when the surface is properly prepared.  Going through the cleaning and brightening steps will also remove things you might not see like mold and mildew spores or oily hand prints from handling the wood during construction.
 
Once you have applied your wood stain, simple maintenance will keep the finish looking good year round.  Keeping the pollen off is important.  Rinsing off the dust and dirt every now and then helps, especially on wood decks.  Refreshing the finish when it shows signs of wear or begins losing it’s luster will keep your wood looking great for years!
You can purchase the Woodrich product at www.myocstore.com
