THE WORLD FAMOUS RAINFOREST MASTER
What’s to love about Ipe
• Its excellent durability makes it very resistant to decay.
• The unmatched and impressive +50-year lifespan.
• The natural oils and very dense fibers that make it naturally resistant to mold and fungi.
• The outstanding resistance against insects. Forget about wasting time thinking about insect-proofing your outdoor space.
• Ipe wood exceeds industry fire resistance standards. It has been awarded an ‘A1’ rating, which is the same as concrete and steel.
• Its elegant appearance makes it the perfect choice for a multitude of home improvement projects.
• Its great resistance to weathering, blows, and wear. Unlike other woods, Ipe does not tend to warp when facing prolonged exposure to moisture.
Keep an eye on
• Its hardness can make it difficult to work with, saw, nail, and screw, but despite that its fixation is very good.
• The presence of resins and their density means that it does not accept lacquers, paints, or varnishes easily.
• If slow drying is not carried out, there is a risk of small deformations and cracks. No need to worry though: at Lumber Plus, we only work with handpicked kiln-dried boards, free of imperfections.
• It accepts finishes well, although rubber deposits can occasionally affect polishing and finishing.
• It is recommended you use oil to maintain the hydration and original color of the wood.
What is Ipe Wood?
Ipe wood, also known as Brazilian Walnut, is a dense and durable hardwood native to South America. Known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to weather, rot, and insects, Ipe is a popular choice for outdoor decking, siding, and other projects where longevity and resilience are paramount.
Ipe Decking
Ipe decking is renowned for its beauty and long-lasting durability. This wood is naturally resistant to decay and has a lifespan that can exceed 50 years with proper maintenance. Its rich, dark brown color and fine grain make it a sought-after material for high-end residential and commercial projects.
