Diamond Essence Ipe Flooring Tile Patterns

January 15th, 2012

Diamond Essence Ipe Flooring Tiles

There are three main patterns of flooring. They are Allegro , Andante and Diamantine all of which are made of quality Ipe (Brazilian Walnut) hardwood material. Technologically the patented support system for the wood slats, is the most advanced carriage in the world. The carriage distributes or irradiates the weight of the lumber. Made out of high density recycled products, the carriage and it’s interlocking mechanism permits a quick installation.

This product can be purchased through a variety of retail stores in Canada including Home Hardware, Rona, Castle and TimBr-Mart as well as some Specialty Retailers. The company also offers the product for sale at www.myocstore.com and product ships free of charge.

Can I use the Ipe decking tiles for steps, stairs or edges?

August 16th, 2011

Ipe Decking Tile

Ipe decking tiles can only be used for steps or stairs if they are screwed securely to the base of the stairway or if you glue them with “Concrete Glue”.  Additionally, end capping should be fixed to the edge of the tile to hide the plastic base. For the vertical edges transitioning down to the next step or to ground level, we recommend detaching the wood from the plastic base and affixing it to the surface with a quality adhesive designed for wood, and also designed for the surface you are attaching it to. You can also cover the edge of the carriage on the step above with this piece of wood. If you have a radius or curved edge that you need to cover, we recommend using bender board (available at hardware or lumber stores) that closely matches the color of the wood tile.  A contractor should fix any extremely hard installations.

What do I do about cutting Ipe decking tiles on corners or curved areas?

August 4th, 2011

Ipe Decking Tile Back Side Carriage

You can just simply cut the under carriage with a handsaw or jigsaw. You may however need to insert additional screws via the existing screw holes in the carriage base to ensure that each wood slat is still secured with a least two screws.  The carriage is the underside of the tile that the Ipe slats attach to. There are several stainless steel screws in various locations on the carriage. The carriage has holes designed for the stainless steel screws to go through and up into the back of the Ipe slat to secure the slat to the carriage. The carriage is made of very durable hardened plastic that can withstand extreme temperatures either hot or cold.

What tools are required to install Ipe decking tiles?

August 3rd, 2011

Diamond Essence Ipe Decking Tile Barbeque

The only tools required to install our Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles are a tape measure, carpenter’s square, handsaw; jig saw (if there are any curved areas) screwdriver, utility knife and sandpaper (for smoothing any cut edges).  The Ipe decking tiles are simple to install and were made to install easily during the manufacturing process. The patended click and lock process makes installation much easier than other tiles on the marketplace.
