HURRICANE SANDY: Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy. We've already received some calls from customers regarding what to do with their damaged decks. If you even think your deck is unstable, don't walk on it. You don't want to risk injury and, given the lack of resources, getting immediate medical attention will be hard.

Seek out the professional opinion of a licensed inspector or contractor in your area. They will inform you of exactly what repairs needs to be done. BEWARE of scams from unlicensed contractors and other so-called professionals. During these emotional times, it's easy to see how people can become desperate and rely on the "too good to be true" words of scam artists. Please forward this article to anyone you know who lives in the affected area who might run into these scam artists.

Ipe Decking Installed in the Historic USS Constellation

During our visit to Baltimore for the 2012 DeckExpo, some of our employees visited the historic USS Constellation. While they were learning about the history of this vessel and its role in United States history, they also noticed that the interior walkways of the ship were made of Ipe. Inside this historic ship, which had such a vital military role in the shaping our nation, Ipe decking was chosen to be the material that supports people during their visit. Take a look at the slideshow below to see how pristine the wood looks despite being used in such a high traffic area. Read more...
