Ipe Decking
The King of Premium Hardwood Decking
Ipe (pronounced “e-pay”, also known as Brazilian Walnut and sometimes by its trade name IronWood®), is the most sought after tropical hardwood decking in the United States today. An Ipe deck is the “king” of South American hardwood decking – the gold standard for fine exterior decking.
Typically used for decking, docks and other outdoor applications, Ipe is one of the most dense, durable hardwoods in the world, lasting for decades in service. Ipe is even used commercially for municipal projects such as the boardwalk in Atlantic City, due to its naturally durable properties. Since Ipe is 100% natural wood, it is recyclable at the end of its service life.
Ipe has rich dark colors, so it not only lasts a long time but has the beauty of a fine interior wood. If Ipe is allowed to age, it will turn to a silver/gray patina over time. Its color can be brought back to its original shade with the use of a deck cleaner/brightening system and application of a hardwood finish specifically formulated for Ipe and other exotic hardwoods, such as Messmer’s UV Plus.

Sealing Ipe
AnchorSeal End-Sealer
Ipe decking is extremely hard and durable, however it is recommended that you seal the ends after cutting, using an end-sealer such as AnchorSeal. Apply the end sealer with a paint brush and it will dry to a clear wax-like finish. This coating will help to to prevent end checks and cracks from forming due to moisture expansion or release.
