Both FSC and WUI Certified, Ipe is an extremely dense hardwood that is as durable as it is beautiful. This hardwood is one of the most preferred woods for decking because of its rich reddish-brown hue, all-heart grade and decay-resistant properties. It is highly resistant to scratches, termites, fungi, chemicals and fire. Ipe has a Class A fire rating, similar to concrete or steel. Ipe is twice as strong as oak and several times stronger than softwoods or composite decking. For example, Ipe 1 in. x 6 in. can span 24 in. and 32 in., respectively, on center for residential decks. Please check building code requirements. Ipe contains no harmful chemicals and can be used near water without potential contamination.
