IPE Decking
Dense and resilient hardwood to build from.
Discover IPE: a top choice for homeowners seeking longevity, natural beauty, and unmatched strength. Its rich, dark brown hue and tight grain pattern create a stunning, low-maintenance outdoor living space that withstands the test of time.
What is IPE?
IPE (pronounced “ee-pay”) is not an abbreviation, but rather the common name of Tabebuia serratifolia, a tropical Brazilian hardwood lumber, that is highly sought-after for premium hardwood decks.
It is one of the densest hardwoods available, with a rich, dark brown color that gives it a beautiful appearance.
IPE wood is native to Central and South America but can be purchased across Canada at Composite Deck Shops.
IPE Decking Advantages
- Dense and Long Lasting
IPE boasts a Janka hardness rating of 3,680 lbs, making it one of the most durable decking materials on earth, with an expected lifespan of up to 100 years. It will not rot or decay in any type of environment – even if you live next door to termites. - Naturally Beautiful
The best thing about a composite deck product is how closely it imitates real wood. But nothing beats genuine wood for its authenticity, and IPE has no need to imitate. It is 100% natural, with no added materials or chemicals. - Low Maintenance
If left untreated, it will naturally silver over time while keeping it’s durability intact – but there’s no need for you to worry about your beautiful wood fading. The rich brown color can be easily maintained with a yearly coat of our IPE oil. - Sustainably Harvested
IPE is a renewable and sustainable material that comes from carefully managed forests. For every tree cut down, 10 new ones are planted in its place. - Many Profiles
We carry IPE decking in lengths from 8 to 20 feet. Apart from the beautiful and durable deck wood, we also offer siding, as well as material for pergolas, railings, and screens. - Natural Resistance
IPE is naturally resistant to insects, rot, and decay: which are the most common reasons for problems with real wood decking. It will last up to 75 years, which is longer than even the longest lasting composite and PVC materials.
