Ipe Decking

Ipe is one of the most popular choices in premium decking on the market today. Ipe (spelled Ipe, and pronounced "ee-pay"), also called Brazilian Walnut or IronWood?, is a beautiful exotic wood from South America, typically used for decking, docks and other outdoor applications. Ipe is one of the most dense, durable hardwoods in the world, lasting for decades. Ipe was even used for the boardwalk in Atlantic City due to its naturally durable properties.

Ipe has rich dark colors, so it not only lasts a long time but has the beauty of a fine interior wood. If Ipe is allowed to age, it will turn to a silver/gray patina over time. Its color can be brought back to its original shade with the use of a deck cleaner/brightening system and application of a hardwood finish specifically formulated for Ipe and other exotic hardwoods, such as Woodrich Brand Wiping Stain.
