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
