One of the main reasons why ipe decking is gaining such notoriety is because architects and designers continually feature this rich and exotic wood in many of their most lauded pieces. Magazines like Architectural Digest also feature Ipe in a whole host of applications including, decking, siding, and flooring. I have even seen ipe interior wall panels be used in modern homes. Make no mistake, this exotic hardwood makes it easy to live up to its reputation as one of the most resilient, durable, and beautiful materials.

• Ipe has a bright and cool look
• Many interior and exterior applications really pop when using ipe wood
• Sealing ipe with a deck oil will keep it reddish brown
• It matures to a silver patina to match metals and black & white designs
• It features natural resiliency to mold, wood rot, and wood boring insects

Deck Design of the Week

Oakland Home Uses Ipe to Make Gorgeous Courtyard

If you’ve ever thought of building a courtyard for your outdoor living area, then this Oakland home should serve as some great inspiration.

Designed by the Ohashi Design Studio in Emeryville, CA, this deck design captures you immediately especially when you see how they incorporated the extremely large oak tree right in the middle of the courtyard. Of course, they utilized both ipe decking and ipe siding to create this modern looking, yet very warm space.

For pictures of how the Ashmount Residence Garden and deck, visit the photo gallery at the Ohashi Design website. The innovation that went into this design is truly stunning and definitely worth remembering as you look for unique deck designs.

At Advantage, we sell ipe decking as well as many other hardwoods that will make a deck like this possible. Best of all, right now, we’re running a decking sale. In fact, we’re running TWO simultaneous sales to give you even more opportunity to buy ipe, plus other unique and exotic hardwoods.

Building a sunroom is a wonderful idea. Sunrooms provide virtual access to the outdoors without having to worry about inclement weather, or insects.

The best hardwood to use for a sun room is ipe decking. When you build a deck with tongue and groove ipe decking, you will be investing in a hardwood that provides maximum resiliency to many common decking problems such as mold and wood rot. Ipe also resists wood boring insects, even termites!

A sunroom made of ipe will provide a durable surface. Sunrooms made of ipe look awesome, too!

Right now, Advantage Trim & Lumber has many sizes and lengths of tongue and groove decking available to anyone looking to build a sunroom. Even if you’re building a porch, outside kitchen, or gazebo, we’d be happy to serve you.

Owner, Rob Pelc personally watched how our inventory of cocobolo was harvested.

The cocobolo tree in Mexico usually grow around the ridges of the Sierra Madres mountain range. It’s not unusual for the distance between trees to be up to 3 miles apart.

Logging Mexican cocobolo using modern methods that utilize modern equipment would devastate the forest. There’s really no good reason to destroy pristine forests with roads, that would be filled with cars and equipment spilling fuel. Moreover, the cutting of other trees just to get to one mature cocobolo is needless.

To preserve the forest and to make a decent living, the people of Mexico work really hard and use hand held tools and old fashioned man power to extract these gems. Because cocobolo is such a durable exotic hardwood, even the dead trees that have fallen in the forest are perfect. Not only does the harvesting of fallen trees make sense, but it’s also a practical and safe way to get the precious heartwood. Dead tress will, over time, shed their sapwood leaving the heartwood in place. Because the loggers are extremely conscious of their environment and their livelihood, they realize that to clear cut the forest or to take out every healthy cocobolo tree would be a quick fix and would destroy their community in the long run. This is why they do what they can to protect the area for future use.

Advantage has a great inventory of responsibly harvested cocobolo from Mexico in stock and ready for purchase. Contact us today and when you buy cocobolo you’ll have your order at your door in just a few days (shipping times will vary depending on location…but we really do have fast shipping).
