Haven't you heard of Ipe? It's ok. We are here to inform you of all the information you need to know about this decorative material. Ipe wood comes from a tree of the genus Handroanthus. The name is a Spanish word, pronounced like "ee-pay";. This tree is native to South America, especially tropical rain forests. You may also know that it is Brazilian walnut. If you are considering adding a platform or retrofitting an existing platform, you need to understand Ipe. Ipe wood is becoming more and more popular in the United States, and this is for good reason. It has some amazing features.

Read on for reasons why you should choose Ipe wood for your IPE decking project.

1. Naturally resistant to corrosion.

Ipe grows in the rain forest. Because of this, trees contain unique natural oils and very dense tree fibers. The structure of Ipe protects it from the growth of mold and fungus. These molds and fungi can cause wood to rot. Wood rot is a common problem faced by deck owners. With decks made of Ipe wood, you don’t have to worry about decay. This wood will always exist.

2. It is resistant to most insects.

Like the resistance to decay, the resistance to insects can be attributed to its natural oils and their density. The tree grows in an environment full of insects. You need natural protection from these intruders. The harvested wood maintains this resistance to insects. This is a great benefit for deck owners. You don’t have to waste time thinking about pest control in outdoor spaces. You can enjoy it.

3. Exhibiting incredible heat dissipation.

Walking on the deck in the sun and burning your feet is the worst. Why build a terrace that becomes too hot to use during the sunny season? Unlike plastic or composite cover panels that retain heat, Ipe wood radiates heat and keeps your deck cool. The insulation rate of Ipe is very low. It quickly disperses the heat absorbed from the sun. By raising the deck a little bit, you can increase the airflow under the deck. This in turn increases the natural heat dissipation capacity of Ipe wood. Throughout the summer, your terrace feels cool to the touch.

4. Robust and stylish.

When deciding on wood for a project, you often face functional or stylish issues. This is not the case with Ipe Wood. Ipe is durable and beautiful. This is indeed the best of both worlds. This wood is known for its smooth and uniform texture. The particles are very fine and the texture is slightly wavy. It is famous for its warm red hue. Wood is very durable, as detailed in the other reasons for choosing Ipe, but you never compromise on appearance. The beauty of this wood will make you grateful for choosing it for years to come.
