About Ipe Decking

A future construction site or a barren backyard can be a blank canvas where dreams are drafted. As upscale architects, designers and ambitious home owners begin sketching their outdoor ideas on paper, they often turn to Ipe (pronounced “e-pay”), one of the most beautiful and luxurious hardwoods in the world. This wood, also known as “Ironwood”, is often used in building a structure of tropical planks connected to each other, creating what is known as deck­ing. Ipe (Handroanthus spp.) is one of the most sought after decking woods in the industry. The durable tropical hardwood is the perfect lumber for exterior applications adding a touch of elegance to any outdoor space.
