Effective Nov. 25, 2024, to regulate trade and ensure sustainable practices IPE and Cumaru wood species are being placed on the Cites list which limits the manufacturing and importation of such species. MRP is working diligently to ensure product availability as quick as possible. Please call to discuss your needs and to see how we can accommodate.
***Note: MRP will still carry these products, but availability will be highly limited.
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.
I have been using your SE series pedestals for about 2 years now and love them. I was using a different brand that would take me approximately 2-4 minutes per pedestal to install. With the SE pedestals I have cut down my installation time by 50% in most cases. I installed 5000 square feet in 2 days with 4 guys using the SE pedestals. This would take me 4-5 days using another pedestal brand. A 600 square foot roof top would take me 13 hours to finish, I finished it in 6 hours with 3 guys. Using your pedestals is like printing money on these jobs.
Thank you for your support and product.
