Rooftop Decking: Maximizing Your Space
Transforming your flat roof into an inviting outdoor retreat is often an underappreciated home improvement idea. While adding square footage to your house can be a costly endeavor, converting your flat roof into a serene oasis comes at a fraction of the price. This space offers million-dollar views, irrespective of your home’s zip code.
- Ipe Deck Tiles: Enduring Elegance
Whether you prefer the weathered gray look or opt to preserve the warm walnut color of the wood with a simple oiling, natural Ipe outshines any synthetic alternative. We highly recommend DeckWise Ipe Oil, an excellent oil-based finish.
Water-based finishes have made significant strides with the advent of nanotechnology. Microscopic particles penetrate the wood, providing long-lasting protection that can often outlast oil-based finishes. DeckWise Wisecoat, our tried-and-true water-based finish for thousands of Ipe decking projects, not only preserves the wood’s natural color but also avoids the strong odors associated with oil-based finishes.
- Ipe Deck Tiles: Unmatched Durability
Ipe stands as the premier choice among exterior hardwoods, boasting a remarkable hardness three times that of red oak. Compare this to the flimsy sag of fake composite decking, and you’ll see the stark contrast. Our natural wood products, like Ipe deck boards, don’t require elaborate marketing gimmicks. A mere touch of our Ipe wood tells you that this is a wood of true substance. One satisfied customer described it as follows: “After finishing my deck project, I kept a 3-foot Ipe wood scrap by my bed instead of my feeble hard maple baseball bat. Lol.”
- Ipe Deck Tiles: Swift and Simple Installation
Our modular deck tile system stands as one of the most straightforward ways to build your deck. These tiles come in various sizes, from 12″ squares to 24×48″ rectangles. They effortlessly interlock with plastic connectors that keep the tiles raised about â…›” above the roofing, enabling water drainage and ensuring a speedy, professional installation. The terms “professional” and “quick” rarely go hand in hand, but hardwood deck tiles embody both qualities.
The most time-consuming part of the project might involve cutting the final tiles to fit the outer wall. However, this step can be avoided by planning a decorative stone border. Not only does this expedite the installation process, but it also offers a pleasing design element. Many clients opt for 1″ to 2″ Mexican beach pebbles for their border feature, although garden stores typically offer more budget-friendly alternatives.
