What is Ipe decking and why is it popular?

Ipe decking refers to the use of Ipe wood, a premium Brazilian hardwood, for building outdoor decks. It has gained immense popularity due to its exceptional durability, natural resistance to rot and insects, and stunning visual appeal. The dense and tightly grained structure of Ipe wood makes it highly resistant to wear, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas. Moreover, its rich brown color, which can be further enhanced through periodic maintenance, adds an elegant touch to any outdoor space.

What are the advantages of choosing Ipe decking?

Opting for Ipe decking offers numerous advantages. Firstly, Ipe wood is renowned for its remarkable durability, often lasting up to 50 years or more with proper maintenance. It is highly resistant to moisture, rot, mold, and decay, making it an ideal choice for outdoor environments. Additionally, Ipe wood is naturally resistant to termites and other wood-boring insects, reducing the need for chemical treatments. Its exceptional hardness and strength enable it to withstand heavy foot traffic, extreme weather conditions, and even fire, ensuring longevity and safety for your deck.

How does Ipe decking compare to other decking materials?

When compared to other decking materials, Ipe stands out for its unparalleled durability and longevity. Unlike softwoods or composite materials, Ipe decking is resistant to scratching, splintering, warping, and fading, making it a low-maintenance option. It outperforms other hardwoods in terms of hardness and strength, providing excellent structural stability. Furthermore, Ipe's natural resistance to moisture, mold, and insects eliminates the need for frequent replacements or repairs, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.

How should I maintain my Ipe decking?

Proper maintenance is key to preserving the beauty and longevity of your Ipe decking. Regular cleaning using a mild detergent and water, along with a soft brush or mop, helps remove dirt and debris. To maintain its rich color, periodic application of a UV-blocking sealer or oil finish is recommended. This not only enhances the wood's natural beauty but also protects it from sun damage. It's important to avoid pressure washing or using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the wood fibers. With proper care, your Ipe decking will continue to impress for years to come.

Can I install Ipe decking myself?

While it's possible to install Ipe decking yourself, it's important to consider hiring a professional for optimal results. Working with Ipe wood requires specialized tools and techniques due to its density and hardness. Improper installation can lead to issues such as uneven boards, deck movement, or premature deterioration. Professional installers have the expertise to ensure proper ventilation, adequate fastening, and appropriate spacing between boards. Their knowledge and experience will help you achieve a structurally sound and visually appealing deck that maximizes the potential of your Ipe decking.

What is Ipe Wood?

Ipe (pronounced EE-pay) is world-renowned for its superior characteristics and properties. Ipe is one of the hardest woods in the world which lends to its incredible durability and longevity. It is also naturally resistant to insect attack, mold, rot, fire and decay. The color of Ipe heartwood is a rich brown with red and amber hues and varies considerably from board to board. Ipe wood decking grain is extremely dense and tight with visible cathedral arches and contrasting grain patterns throughout. Due to the wood’s fine texture and interlocking grain, Ipe offers superior slip resistance.

Ipe decking is incredibly versatile. Its durability makes it a natural choice for commercial projects, such as high-traffic, large-scale beach piers or boardwalks, or even public benches. However, its beauty, strength and low needs for maintenance also make it a leading option for residential decking.

Ipe is considered the highest quality, best natural wood decking material on the market today. It is also one of the most popular species for decking we stock at Brazilian Wood Depot. On this page, you’ll learn more about Ipe decking, the benefits it provides and other useful information to help get you started.

Ipe Photos and Showcases

Weather Color Change Progression

Sunlight has a bleaching effect on nearly everything it comes into contact with. Hardwood decking boards are no exception. The purpose of this demonstration is to show the sun’s effect on Brazilian Hardwood Decking and what to expect from reoiling. These boards were left on the roof of our building for 12 weeks to simulate a deck with heavy sunlight and weather exposure. All the boards began with one coat of Messmer’s UV Plus (Natural). After the 12th week, another coat was applied to half of each board.

The video to the right includes more details about how I did the demonstration and other interesting findings.

Fresh Deck Boards

Fresh Decking Boards Before Sunlight Exposure Finished with One Coat Messmer’s UV Plus Natural

3 Weeks Exposure

Three weeks of full sunlight and weather exposure.

6 Weeks Exposure

Six weeks of full sunlight and weather exposure.

9 Weeks Exposure

Nine weeks of full sunlight and weather exposure. Boards are now almost grey, but certainly have lost their original richness, in tone.

12 Weeks Exposure & ReOiled

At 12 weeks, the boards are fairly uniform in their grey color. I applied oil to the top half of these boards so you can see the difference between the washed-out 12-week appearance and the newly oiled appearance.

Scoring Hardwoods by Exterior Conditions

Each Brazilian Hardwood species has different performance characteristics under different exterior conditions. I have created a chart reflective of my personal opinions about how each performs under certain, common conditions. By scoring each species/condition with a 1-5, this chart is meant to help guide customers to the best systems and products for any exterior project. It should be noted that my opinions are fairly conservative respective to the Exterior Hardwood and Brazilian Hardwood industry. In other words, I have been more critical with my scores than most would. If you find this resource helpful, I recommend watching the accompanying video. I review the species and conditions and explain each score.

Benefits of Ipe Decking

Ipe decking, also known as Brazilian Walnut, has a number of qualities that make it stand out as the superior outdoor construction material.

All Natural- Unlike composite decking, which is a combination of wood pulp and plastic, a non-recyclable material that pollutes our planet and pressure treated or reclaimed lumber that is loaded with toxic chemicals known to harm surrounding plant and animal life, Ipe is 100% natural. It is ideal for repurposing, bio-degradable and does not create any biproducts that can harm the environment. No chemicals or plastics whatsoever, just 100% real wood. That’s why we say, “Go Natural!”
Hardness- Ipe is among the 10 hardest woods in the world with a Janka Hardness rating of 3,680; compare that to Oak, at about 1,200. Many compare Ipe’s hardness and density to concrete. This extreme hardness lends to its dimensional stability, long lifespan, and natural weatherproof properties. Pressure treated wood is known for substantial expansion and contraction with seasonal changes. This process destroys the cell structures from the center of the boards, outwards. It also increases the rate of decay. This movement is also responsible for creating raised wood grain that can be painful to walk on without shoes. Raised grain is a common problem with pressure treated woods but does not occur with tropical hardwoods like Ipe. Composite and plastic decking will also expand and contract significantly over time which compromises the rigidity. This eventually leads to boards drooping between the joists. Ipe, being so hard, will expand and contract some, but very little. Minimal movement is one key element to Ipe’s incredible longevity.
Longevity- Ipe is renowned for its ability to last many decades even in extreme weather conditions. Density and hardness, as discussed above, plays a large role in that. Natural resistance to water penetration and rot/decay also contributes to its longevity. The forests, from which they evolved, experience 100-400 inches of rain per year. That is up to 8-10 times more than anywhere in the United States. Evolutionary responses to this heavy rainfall have made this wood naturally resistant to water penetration, mold, rot and decay.
Board Replacement- Many people fail to consider how board replacement can be a HUGE obstacle with alternative deck materials like PT or composite. Let’s say you drop the hot contents of a grill on your deck and it damages the boards beyond repair. Unfortunately, if you don’t have an Ipe or tropical hardwood deck, you’re in for a rude awakening. When you replace a PT or Composite deck board, it will stand out from the others, dramatically. These materials are all very consistent and continue fading over time. So, the new boards will ALWAYS stand out from the others. You are left with a deck that has very obvious patchwork. Tropical hardwoods vary from board to board, so replacing boards is no big deal. They may stand out from the others for a couple of months, but before long no one will be able to tell the new boards from the original ones. This benefit is specific to real, natural woods. Board replacement is also a common problem with prefinished and engineered wood flooring.
Insect Resistance- Ipe, and other tropical hardwoods, are naturally insect resistant. Domestic lumber is treated with chemicals to deter wood boring insects. Ipe evolved in forests with insects much more proficient at wood-boring than their North American counterparts. Very few insects in their natural habitat are capable of infiltrating their tough wood fibers and certainly, the domestic insects of the United States are no match. This is true for most tropical hardwoods.
Fire Resistance- For many states in southwestern United States, fires are a large factor driving construction material decision making. This also holds true for large commercial projects in urban areas. Ipe is the most flame-resistant decking material, hands down. Ipe is one of the only materials, aside from steel and concrete, that regularly receives an A Class rating from engineering rating organizations. Plastic, composite and pressure treated lumber typically receive the lowest flame spread ratings C Class. Watch Matt Risinger’s YouTube video demonstrating Ipe’s incredible resistance to fire.
Forest Stewardship- Ipe is sourced from the tropical forests of South America, Brazil in particular. Concerns with harvesting Ipe from the “lungs of our planet” are well warranted. The truth is, Brazil’s hardwood timber industry may be the forests best protection from clear-cut uses like Cattle and Agriculture. When Ipe is harvested and regrown in its natural habitat, that habitat is protected by both he organization that replanted and the local or federal government. Without responsible forestry management, forest lands are more likely to be cleared for grazing cattle and planting crops. Each purchase of Ipe, or other tropical hardwood, from conscientious hardwood dealers like Brazilian Wood Depot contributes to the value of naturally forested lands.
Cost- Contrary to popular belief, Ipe is not more expensive than the alternatives. The opposite, in fact. Pressure treated lumber is considered to last about 5-7 years before boards begin to deteriorate and rot. Plastic and composite boards will typically begin to fade and deteriorate within a few years. A composite deck is unattractive and nearly unusable after about 8 years. Alternatively, Ipe is known to last from 40- 75 years, depending on the environmental conditions. When you consider the cost of replacing pressure treated or composite boards through the life of just one installation of Ipe, Ipe is far, far more cost effective. The front-end cost of Ipe decking is generally the same as the mid-grade composites and lower than the high-end composites. Pressure treated lumber is cheaper than Ipe, but you’ll replace the PT boards 5 times in the life of one Ipe deck. So, is Ipe the most cost-effective decking? Yes, often in the short-term, but always in the long-term.

Compare Ipe Decking to Plastic/Composite Decking

Ipe is one of the hardest, commercially available, woods in the world. With a Janka hardness rating of 3680, Ipe can withstand the most extreme elements and commercial wear and tear. Currently, there are no decking options that compare to Ipe’s many benefits. Plastic Decking is one alternative, but it has many downsides…

To start with the obvious, Trex and other Plastic or Composite Decking alternatives offer no natural features. Plastic or Composite options are either all grey or all beige or somewhere in between. All the boards will be exactly the same color with the exact same printed grains. Ipe Decking and other Brazilian Hardwood Decking offer only real, natural wood colors with real, natural grains. This means a beautiful variation of boards with each a unique grain pattern on every deck. The next downside to Plastic or Composite Decks is their inability to be repaired. If a board(s) gets damaged, scratched, stained or broken, the damaged piece cannot be fixed because Plastic and Composite Decking fades with time and exposure to the elements. If you were to replace one board on a Plastic Deck or Composite Deck, it would stick out, very obviously, from the other boards. The new boards would be the ‘manufactured’ color, while the others would be faded. This disparity will never even out. Moreover, Plastic and Composite Decking cannot be pressure washed or sanded to restore color. You are never really able to bring a Plastic or Composite Deck back to its original condition without replacing all of the boards.

Ipe Decks, on the other hand, can easily be brought back to their original condition. Keeping with the scenario outlined above, if a board on an Ipe Deck is damaged and needs to be replaced, all you would need to do is get a replacement board to put in its place. Because the color of Ipe varies from board to board, it would not stand out from the other boards at all. It’s natural variability in color lends to its advantage if a board ever needs to be replaced. Alternatively, if the board was scratched or stained, one merely needs to sand the surface of the stained board(s) and reapply the UV oil to bring them back to their original condition. Ipe Decks last forever not only because of their resilience to rot and decay, but also because the boards CAN be repaired, a quality not found in any other decking material. Another aspect that many people fail to consider before installing a deck is Heat Dispersion and Flammability. Wood is the best decking material for disbursing heat making the deck cooler to walk on and Ipe also has a similar fire rating to concrete. Basically, it’s a naturally non-combustible material. Plastic and composite decking is very hot and can create a fire hazard if installed outside a UV reflecting window.

Finally, the last major downfall of Plastic and Composite decks, sagging and drooping. The chemical combinations for Plastic and Composite decking options have changed over the years in an attempt to avoid problems like, insects, mold, and rot. Unfortunately, one problem that has yet to be tackled by even the most advanced Plastic or Composite Decks is sagging and drooping. Sagging and drooping refers to the pendulous deformation of deck boards between the joists. As far as longevity goes, this is the main problem for Plastic and Composite Decks. After several years, the chemical components in the decks breakdown which compromises the rigidity of the boards. It can compromise the strength in such a dramatic manner that the boards themselves loose their ‘straightness’ and droop between the joists. This is an extremely well-known problem for Plastic and Composite decks that has never been successfully addressed. Ipe Decking is 100% natural. There are no non-organic chemicals to breakdown. Ipe’s high density and hardness that lends to its’ incredible dimensional stability is why Ipe decks outperform Plastic and Composite decks in regard to longevity, 10 to 1. These are just a few reasons that Ipe Decks are the preferred choice over Plastic and Composite Decks. All considered, there really is no comparison between an Ipe Deck and a Plastic or Composite Deck.

Finishing and Maintenance

To oil or not to oil, that is the question. With Ipe or any other tropical hardwood from Brazilian Wood Depot, you have basically two options when it comes to maintaining your deck, but you don’t have to stick with either one. You can either skip the oiling and let the boards go a beautiful silvery-grey or use oil to maintain the natural brown colors. Below, I’ll go into what both options mean for you and your deck.

First, what happens when you do not use a UV protectant oil? The purpose of UV Oil is to protect the wood from ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun. These rays eventually ‘bleach’ the boards of their natural brown color. What’s left, after significant sunlight exposure, is a beautiful silvery-grey surface that has a natural ‘reclaimed’ appearance.

Typically, the board colors become more consistent with more time left in the sun without UV protection. The ‘greying’ process will not affect the structural integrity, lifespan, or water resistance of the boards. Let’s say, when the deck was originally installed, you didn’t apply the oil because you wanted the deck to turn grey. You can always bring Ipe back to its brown condition. It may require a cleaning before oiling, just follow directions in the video, above.

Second, you do want your deck to hold its natural color. First off, you’ll want to use a UV Oil. It is not a “stain” nor a “sealer”. These terms are not technically accurate because UV Oil is not meant to provide a color change like “stain” or water protection like a “sealer.” Ipe and similar tropical hardwoods have natural colors and they are naturally resistant to water penetration, so stains and sealers are not only unnecessary- they are improper. If you are planning to maintain the natural color, we recommend using Messmers Ipe Hardwood Deck Stain. There are other products that also work to protect the natural colors of Ipe and tropical hardwoods, but this is the product we have been recommending for +10 years. It comes in three colors, but the preferred color is “Natural.” The finish protects the wood well and contains transparent iron oxide pigment. This pigment absorbs UV radiation yet at the same time will allow visible light to pass through it. The staining results you’ll get are a finish that highlights the natural beauty of the ipe wood and at the same time protects it. Your deck will not fade in the sun as this product has excellent resistance to UV degradation. Maintaining the color of your deck typically involves annual oiling followed by periodic cleaning every 2-3 years. For more information on how to maintain the color of your Ipe deck see the video above.

Choosing to finish your deck or leave it unfinished is a personal choice and you can’t go wrong either way. Brazilian Wood Depot is here to help you decide whether or not to stain your Ipe deck. We will be happy to discuss your options.

Working with Ipe

Storage and Handling
For out-of-state (outside of GA) installation, it is required that the materials acclimate to the climate conditions of the job site before installation; allow materials to acclimate to the job-site climate for ten (10) days prior to installation. Utilizing spacers or stickers between boards to allow air movement and natural drying also aids the acclimation process. Always store materials flat and keep dry and covered prior to installation. Installing wet or saturated boards may result in shrinkage. Refer to the Installation page, for more information.

Installation
When designing your deck plan, you must provide for adequate ventilation to assure long term stability and avoid cupping. Proper air ventilation allows air to flow in from outside the deck area and under the joists to evaporate moisture. Gently sloping the soil under the deck away from the house and covering the soil with plastic is recommended for any type of deck installation. Allow a 1/8″ gap between standard deck boards for drainage and airflow. More detailed instructions can be found on the Installation Page. There are a number of different fastening methods; Face Screws, Kerf and Clips, Grabber Bars, Camo, or ProPlug. For a more detailed description of these methods visit the Fasteners Page.

Ipe Lumber Profiles

Brazilian Wood Depot carries a variety of profiles. The standard decking profile for Ipe and other tropical hardwoods is “1×6” (3/4” x 5.5”). 1×6 is appropriate for Joist spacing of 12” or 16”. Typically joist spacing greater than 16” is not allowed by code, but there are exceptions. For joist spacing greater that 16” OC, consider using “5/4 x 6” (1” x 5.5”). The additional board thickness contributes to the overall span strength of the decking. For most Ipe deck projects, 5/4 x 6 decking is not only unnecessary and more costly, it is simply incorrect. That said, Brazilian Wood Depot always stocks both 1×6 and 5/4 x 6 Ipe decking. Consult a Brazilian Wood Depot representative to discuss which option is best for your project, 770-242-0045. For projects that require extra attention to water runoff or moisture equalization, see RainAway Decking and Deck Tiles.

Brazilian Wood Depot also carries a number of different profiles to accent different features of your deck like stair risers, balusters, railing sections, handrails, facia, posts, etc… Refer to the Profiles and Dimensions document for profile availabilities.

Ipe: Deforestation, Sustainability and Illegal Logging

You may be familiar with Ipe as the “King of Woods.” A species with almost unbelievable characteristics- natural
resistance to rot, insect attack, and mold with density and hardness comparable to concrete. These features give Ipe and other tropical hardwoods the ability to outlast pretty much everything while providing unrivaled beauty and character. All of this is true. Ipe has been a staple in the decking, flooring, siding and furniture industries for many years for these reasons. Furthermore, in recent years, the prices of tropical hardwoods like Ipe, Cumaru, Purpleheart, Tigerwood, Massaranduba and Garapa will beat out even the mid-tier composite decking and siding alternatives. If that were the end of the story, these tropical hardwoods would be the market leaders for outdoor construction, hands down. Unfortunately, some narratives paint a darker picture of Ipe that is both misleading and endangers our native tropical forests.
