WHY IPE DECKING IS BEST

IPE IS THE BEST WOOD DECKING MATERIAL IN THE WORLD!

Ipe is an ecologically friendly wood choice, highly regarded for its ability to resist rot, insect attack and mould, without requiring the use of toxic chemicals that must be used on other decking wood to give them similar properties. Ipe is extremely dense and strong and its high wear durability makes it far more resistant to cracks and splintering. It is why Ipe decks can last for decades.Ipe is rated ‘High 50+ years’ for its decay resistance though tends to last much longer than that… if only there were a higher rating! Ipe shrugs off weather, with little effect on its structural integrity.Like metal for fire resistance, Ipe is rated an excellent ‘A1’.
Over time, the sun will change the color of the wood from the initial red-brown to a stunning silver patina.Best of all, when you buy Ipe from Tropical Forest Products you know your wood has been harvested from legally demarcated sustainable forests.

Ipe is an extremely economical and eco-friendly alternative to other types of wood, especially when life cycle is considered. When the cost of materials and labour are compared to alternative decking materials, Ipe’s lifespan puts it far in the lead. Compared to other decking materials like redwood cedar, composites and torrefied woods, Ipe is very competitively priced – but Ipe’s lifespan and properties make it by far the superior option.
