Ipe Decking has a rich dark brown color with beautiful grain characteristics. Also known as Brazilian Walnut, an Ipe deck will gradually age to a lustrous silver-grey if left untreated. It can be oiled or stained to retain its rich brown color. Ipe Decking is available in sizes 1x4 through 2x12, 2x2 balusters, and 4x4 posts.
Ipe Decking is the strongest and most resilient natural untreated decking material available on the market today. An increasingly popular choice for both commercial and residential decking; it truly is the best decking product available in terms of strength, stability, durability, and natural resistance to decay, wet conditions, and infestation by termites and wood boreres of all types. Our Ipe contains no harmful chemicals and can be used near water with no worry of contamination.
Ipe Decking has a class A fire rating, the same rating given to concrete and steel. And we give a 25 Year Warranty with all our naturally durable, exotic hardwood decking products. Ipe Decking is an economical natural alternative to other decking options when the entire life cycle of the deck or outdoor project is considered. Its rich color and natural grain is breathtaking and is certain to provide a lifetime of beauty.
Ipe Decks will maintain their structural integrity as they age. To retain the rich brown color, we recommend a high quality penetrating oil finish with ultraviolet inhibitors. Regular cleaning and reapplication of an oil finish will ensure that the wood retains its beauty for many years.
