IPE Decking
Transform Your Space with the Rich, Resilient Ipe Wood
Unmatched Durability: Ipe wood is one of the hardest and densest woods available, with a Janka hardness rating of 3,680. This makes it highly resistant to wear, scratching, and impact, ensuring that it can withstand heavy foot traffic and harsh environmental conditions.
Natural Weather Resistance: Ipe is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, including termites, without the need for chemical treatments. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor applications, where longevity and minimal maintenance are key.
Fire Resistance: Ipe wood has a Class A fire rating, similar to concrete and steel, making it a safer option for areas prone to wildfires or for use around outdoor fire pits and grills.
Sustainability: While Ipe is highly sought after, it’s important to source it responsibly. Look for Ipe wood that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure that it comes from sustainably managed forests.

Installation and Care:
Installation of Ipe wood cladding or decking requires special attention due to its extreme density and hardness. To prevent splitting during installation, pre-drilling is essential. Using stainless steel screws or hidden fasteners is recommended to ensure a secure and long-lasting fit, as these materials resist corrosion and won’t discolor the wood over time. Proper spacing between the boards is crucial to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the wood in response to changes in temperature and humidity. Additionally, ensuring adequate ventilation behind the wood helps prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Given the technical requirements of working with Ipe, professional installation is highly recommended for optimal results and longevity.
In terms of care, regular maintenance involves cleaning the wood with a mild detergent and water to remove dirt and debris. To preserve the rich, natural color of Ipe, consider applying a UV-protective oil annually. However, if you prefer the wood to weather naturally, allowing it to age will result in a beautiful silver-gray patina over time. This weathered look is a popular option for many homeowners who appreciate the natural aging process of Ipe without compromising its durability or strength.
