Ipe (pronounced ee-pay) is a sustainably harvested wood imported from South America. Ipe hardwood is popular due to its beauty, strength, and hardness. It is highly scratch and dent resistant. A deck, terrace, or walkway made of ipe will hardly reveal dog nail scratches, high heels, or furniture scuffs. Ipe is also highly resistant to problems related to moisture and insects.
Ipe’s density and weight render it very stable so that it changes very little when exposed to the elements. With no finishing, ipe decking will last for decades, achieving a nice silver finish. It really is no wonder that ipe hardwood has been a top choice for both outdoor and indoor venues for use in commercial, civic, and luxury residential applications. HDG Building Materials offers ipe board decking and finished ipe hardwood decking tiles. FSC® products are available.
Ipe Characteristics:
- Excellent resistance to scratching
- Exceptional hardness, durability, stability
- Low maintenance requirements
- Highest rating for insect (termite) & decay resistance
- 3-5 times the life of most other decking materials
- Resistant to fire (rated Class A by NFPA)
- Color varies from deep, walnut brown to olive to mahogany red
- Fine grain appears swirly, striped or perfectly uniform
- Left to weather naturally, ipe develops an elegant silver-gray patina
- Weathers gracefully with the weathered surface remaining hard and splinter free
- Comes from well-managed forests in South America
