COMPANY OVERVIEW
Since 2000, the Ipe Clip® Fastener Company (DBA DeckWise®) has manufactured high quality Made in the USA hidden deck fasteners for exotic hardwoods and composite deck building. With a proven track record of extraordinary customer satisfaction, our deck building products are comprised of high-grade long-lasting materials. Every product is expertly engineered to withstand corrosive weather elements from the desert; to the tropics; to the cold.

Ipe Clip® hidden deck fasteners eliminate many common decking problems such as cupping and warping. This is due to only 1 side of the deck board being pinned down to the framing. This allows decking material to move naturally all the while keeping consistent board gaps.

By offering a wide variety of decking products, DeckWise® covers the industry as a leading go-to supplier. Products such as the Hardwood Wrench™, Ipe Oil®, WiseCoat™, Ipe Seal®, deck screws, hardwood deck tiles, and pedestals plus essential decking tools and accessories, we've got you covered.

WiseSeal® End-Grain Sealant is a specially formulated water-based sealer to protect fresh cut ends of boards. End cuts of decking and lumber dry out faster than the center, which can lead to unsightly end checks (drying splits) that can spread quickly. These end cuts also expose decking and siding material to the elements which require added protection to prevent water intrusion that can lead to swelling, mold, mildew, warping and cupping.

WiseSeal® is proven to increase the structural integrity of hardwood, thermally modified wood, soft woods, PT (pressure treated) and composite material.

Designed to protect decking, siding/cladding, railings, steps, log ends, turning blanks, and other exposed end grain. DeckWise® makes it easy to protect inventory and on-site material for long-lasting results. WiseSeal® is a durable water-based formula, eco-friendly and forms a flexible, breathable barrier by coating the wood fibers at the cellular level, providing exceptional protection. This product is paintable and stainable after 24 hours.

Features:

  • Eco-friendly

  • Non-toxic; will not harm pets, plants, people or marine life

Deck Cable Railing  

When choosing the perfect railing for your hardwood project, the first consideration must always be the outward looking view. What does the scenery look like from your deck? Would it be obstructed due to the railing you choose? Will you install traditional bulky wooden balusters or a railing that is a sleek and modern design? It's a BIG consideration.

We feel the right choice is to install one of the three WiseCable® WiseRail® series of 316 grade stainless steel cable railing. The 1/8" thick cable allows any deck, patio or stairway to be an unobstructed open view. It allows for a perfect view of your children playing; your boat and dock on the lake; the rolling plains of the Midwest, or that incredible mountain scenery.

With every hardwood railing project there are many considerations. How will the cable rail receivers and tensioners look? Are the fittings large turnbuckles and look like bulky industrial hardware or will they be slender, modern and streamlined?

Features:

  • 5 series of railing kits for straight runs or pitches

  • Pre-swaged cable ends for quick installations

  • Pre-packaged kits with 316 grade 1/8" diameter cable

  • All hardware is 316 grade stainless steel fittings

Order deck tiles and pedestals in accordance to the measurement of the total area to be tiled to determine the number of deck tiles and pedestals needed. Create a planning guide of the layout area with a grid pattern to scale for the size of the deck tiles.

Attention to, and inspection of hardwood deck tiles and pedestals must be completed prior to installation. Drawings of the deck tile pattern, layout grid, threshold starting point, and finished elevation should be shown on a architectural planning guide. Plans, CAD drawings and/or illustrations should be prepared and approved by an accredited architect or construction designer. Owner approval and sign-off of plans should be in writing and documented.

SPECS

Installing deck tile pedestals is not an exact science and considerations must be made to accommodate different situations. The number of deck tile pedestals required is directly proportional to the number of hardwood tiles to be installed.

First and foremost, you need a planning guide and drawing of the installation area with a proportional deck tile layout grid. (Plans, CAD drawings and/or illustrations should be prepared and approved by an accredited architect or construction designer.) This will show where each hardwood deck tile will be placed.

The number of pedestals required for your specific area will depend on the following:

  • Total number of hardwood deck tiles used

  • The dimensions of the hardwood deck tiles (24" x 24")

  • The shape of the installation area

  • Drainage areas and the number of drains

  • Any anticipated heavy load on the deck

4 in. x 2 ft. PVC Schedule 40 Plain-End

Convenient job-site PVC can be ordered and shipped to make pedestal installations much quicker with less headaches. Pre-cut pieces measure 4" in diameter and are 24" long to allow for maximum pedestal heights as well and multiple smaller PVC support heights for an efficient installation.

Orders can range from single pieces or by the case.
