Ipe Decking
We sell several different types of decking material. Our best seller is Ipe Decking. You may be surprised by many of the features of this 100% solid wood decking:
- Resistant to wood eating insects
- When ipe grows in the forest it has enzymes that wood eating insects just don't like.
- It's so dense, termites and other insects have trouble eating it.
- Resistant to mold, mildew and decay
- Chemicals put there by Mother Nature as the tree grows make it a difficult place for fungus and bacteria to grow.
- Splintering?
- Not on ipe deck boards. The more dense and sturdy a wood is, the less likely it is to splinter. Take your shoes off, get comfortable, sit a spell…
- Ipe is fire resistant!
- Not fire-proof, it'll burn, but it's difficult to light and keep burning.
- It lasts 75+ years.
- Ipe decking is strong!
- It's the strongest wood decking material you can buy.
- 3680 on the Janka hardness scale.
- Ipe is beautiful
