IPE Decking
IPE decking, also known as Brazilian Walnut, is an exceptionally durable and dense tropical hardwood prized for outdoor use. It is renowned for its extreme hardness, natural resistance to insects, rot, mold, and fire, and a lifespan that can exceed 75 years with proper maintenance. The wood features rich reddish-brown to chocolate-brown tones that can be preserved with oiling or allowed to weather naturally to a silver-gray patina. While its density requires pre-drilling for installation and it comes at a higher cost, IPE decking offers a premium, low-maintenance solution known for its beauty, longevity, and resilience in harsh outdoor conditions.
