MRP Supports offers an Itauba Deck as an option to our IPE deck tiles for those projects seeking LEED points and those customers looking for a value engineered option.
Itauba is very similar in color to IPE, perhaps even a bit more walnut in appearance. Unlike IPE, Itauba has a character feature that appears as a occasional dark spot which appears as a drop of oil on the surface of the board.
Itauba and IPE share very similar technical performance characteristics, both being rated similar in strength properties (100psf live load) , highly durable and resistant to insect attack. Like IPE, Itauba Tiles are Class A Fire Rated.

Marathon’s Eterno Support system is very easy to use. It saves time to be able to adjust the height of the pedestal after the paver is in place. The folks at MRP were very helpful. I would use this product on our next pedestal paver system.
