IPE (pronounced EE-pay) is the finest quality wood decking material available. IPE is an exotic hardwood that is naturally resistant to rot and decay and is 8 times harder than California Redwood. MRP Supports' IPE Deck Tiles are offered with a smooth deck board surface only and have the below coefficient of friction ratings.
Static: Wet - .615FP
Dynamic:Wet - .43FP
Grooved decking surfaces are not recommended…Why?
Grooved surfaces reduce surface area contact with a shoe and are more difficult to clean
supporting the collection of food and dirt which encourages fungi growth further reducing slip
resistance. MRP Supports' Deck Tiles are rated to carry a live load of 100 psf.
*Use of Cleaning or Finishing products on Iron Woods® Deck Tiles in roof applications is not
recommended without consulting product manufactures due to potential risk to EPDM or other
roof substrates.
Since we began using Eterno Adjustable Paver Supports last fall, we’ve been very impressed with the ease of installation, which in turn has benefited us greatly by reducing our labor costs. In addition to the labor cost savings, compared to the other adjustable paver supports on the market, we’re very pleased with the self leveling head, which is a major advantage when adjusting the pavers. The unique adjustable key allows for adjustments without removing the pavers. Other paver supports do not have this feature and are more cumbersome and labor intensive.
Another benefit is the new bi-component head of soft rubber which reduces any noise when walking on the pavers and helps ensure no movement of the pavers. The Eterno Adjustable Paver Support system has given us an effective edge over our competition with the ease of installation and the savings on labor cost. We’re very pleased that we came across this product."
