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.

Woodrich Brand Timber Oil for Wood Siding and Log Homes

September 13th, 2009

3WRTO1-2T

Extremely easy to apply. Even first time users can expect perfect results. Absolutely will not overlap, run or leave drip marks. Dives deep to replenish old dry wood. Loaded with transoxide pigments providing much better coverage than other paraffinic stains.  Ideal for annual or semi annual maintenance .

If you have ever worked with paraffinic based wood stains, Woodrich Brand Timber Oil will have a familiar ease of use.  No matter what application method you choose, it is impossible to cause any lap marks or runs.  Even those who have never worked with wood at all can achieve a beautiful finish their very first try with this easy to use product.
For those who have used other paraffinic based products in the past, the most striking difference with Woodrich Brand Timber Oil is quality.  Boasting extremely high pigment content Woodrich Brand Timber Oil will not color shift or “fade out” like other products.  Woodrich Brand Timber Oil is also loaded down with enough antifungal agents to knock out any existing mold and mildew spores and help prevent new growth for several years even in the most challenging environments.
Our anti-fungal package has been “jungle tested” and proven effective against over 250 known sources of mold and mildew.
What this means to you is greater protection from less product.  In fact you can expect to use about 20% less product to achieve the same results you get from other brands.  This may not mean much on a 12′x12′ deck, but it will add up to thousands of dollars over the year for a contractor.

When you apply Woodrich Brand Timber Oil you will see the rich oils dive deep into the wood, replenishing it and occupying the voids that may otherwise trap moisture.  Replenishing old dry wood will help to dramatically extend it’s service life.  Even old neglected wood siding will be rejuvenated by the deep conditioning oils. If your unsure which color stain to use we suggest purchasing the sample color kit before purchasing this product.

WoodRich product can be purchased at the Canadian Dealer website www.myocstore.com
