Application

Suitable for use in marine and exterior construction due to its resistance to water.

Description

Ipe

Lapacho or Brazilian Walnut – a tropical hardwood originating from South America. Boards available in lengths of 1200 mm and 1800 mm and either 90 mm wide or 140 mm wide giving a great deal of flexibility.


It has a greenish brown appearance and because of its tight grain is popular for its high resistance to mildew, termites and rotting. It is very low maintenance and is used extensively in marine and exterior construction due to its resistance to water. It dries very well and becomes extremely hard, which means it has to be pre-drilled and cut with a mechanical saw. Ipe has a fire rating of Euroclass B and will last up to 25 years. It is nicknamed “ironwood”.


Cumaru

Cumaru (Brazil) is another hardwearing timber.


It is similar to ipe but has a rich chestnut colour. It has very good strength and rot-resistant properties. Suitable for clients who favour a lighter-coloured wood finish.


Features and benefits:

  • Highest quality and stability.
  • All species are sourced following the most stringent sustainability protocols.
  • 25 year warranty.
  • Euroclass Fire Rating Class B.
  • Ipe is very hard, resistant to termites and fungus.
  • Cumaru is resistant to fungal and marine attack.

Connections

Aluminium joists.

Guidance for specification option:

Aluminium joists mimic the build of traditional timber substructure but with many key advantages:

  • Can achieve ultra-low height thresholds. As little as 55 mm total buildup depending on board choice.
  • Will not rot, warp or bend like timber joists.
  • 100% recyclable material.
  • Aluminium will not expand and contract like timber joists.
  • Lightweight and easy to work with material.
  • Special headpiece on our pedestals to accommodate the aluminium joists.
  • Depending on board choice, we have a number of hidden fixings available – i-Fly, 4 Hook, Remo.


Composite joists.

Guidance for specification option:

Composite joists are sturdy and suitable for use with almost any board on the market.

  • Will not rot, warp or bend like timber joists.
  • Dimensions 3600 x 38 x 88 mm.
  • 3.7 kg/m (linear).
  • Suitable for decking joists/sub-frame.
  • Compatible with our pedestals to lift to required height.
  • Depending on board choice, we have a number of hidden fixings available – i-Fly, 4 Hook, Remo.


iDecking EasyChange.

Guidance for specification option:

The EasyChange i-Decking system uses a hidden fixing that allows for the boards to be unlocked using a key. This is suitable for when access to the sub floor for maintenance or repairs is needed.

  • Sustainable, non-rotting decking system.
  • Integrated substructure and deck board.
  • Clean lines, uninterrupted surface.
  • Composite, bamboo and tropical hardwood options available.
  • Bare foot friendly.
  • Suitable for low thresholds (whole system from 83 mm).
  • Faster, easier installation.
  • Suitable for domestic or commercial use.


iDecking EasyClick.

Guidance for specification option:

The Easyclick i-Decking system uses a hidden fixing that allows for the boards to be clicked into place. This makes for a dramatically easy and faster installation.

  • Double aluminium rail substructure system.
  • Profiled rail clicks into headpiece of adjustable height pedestals without need for mechanical fixings.
  • Aluminium rail with integrated clips to secure and opposition boards.
  • Boards extruded with special profiles to fit into clips.
  • Self-aligning system drastically reduces errors.
  • Faster installation.
  • No top fixings mean no surface holes, splits or lifting.
