Description
Built for Structural Strength and Timeless Performance
The Ipe 2×6 Decking Board (Solid) (actual 1½″ × 5½″) represents the most robust profile within Ipe Hardwood Decking and is engineered for demanding architectural and commercial environments. This full-dimensional, non-grooved profile is widely specified for commercial boardwalks, pedestrian bridges, stair treads, rail caps, and public pathways, where thickness, stiffness, and long-term wear resistance are critical. With all four sides smooth (E4E) and a softened ⅛″ radius on every corner, the 2×6 delivers a refined finish while maintaining exceptional structural mass. Its natural resistance to rot, insects, and fire—earning a Class A fire rating—allows Ipe Decking to outperform composite and pressure-treated alternatives in both safety and service life.
Premium Grade A Ipe from Brazilian Wood Depot
Brazilian Wood Depot supplies only Premium Grade A (FAS) Ipe, selected for strength, consistency, and architectural-grade appearance. These 2×6 boards are precision-milled and commonly kiln-dried to enhance dimensional stability in heavy-use applications. Because drying methods can vary by shipment, customers are encouraged to contact us directly for project-specific details. This disciplined approach to grading and handling is why Brazilian Wood Depot is trusted nationwide for commercial-grade Ipe Wood Decking.
Sustainably Harvested for Long-Term Preservation
Each board is responsibly sourced using selective harvesting practices that preserve forest structure and biodiversity. Brazilian Wood Depot partners exclusively with suppliers committed to legal and sustainable forestry. To understand how responsible sourcing protects Amazonian ecosystems while maintaining the long-term availability of Ipe Decking, explore the Sustainable Ipe Certified Interactive Course. This multimedia resource explains why Ipe remains both an environmental and structural benchmark.
Distinct Beauty and Natural Protection
Ipe’s natural color range—from olive brown to deep chocolate—pairs with dramatic grain and a naturally slip-resistant surface, making it ideal for high-traffic public spaces. Its extreme density provides steel-like strength while naturally resisting decay, insects, and moisture without chemical treatment. Properly installed, Ipe Hardwood Decking commonly delivers 40–75 years of service life, even in harsh climates.
Beyond Decking: Commercial & Architectural Applications
The solid Ipe 2×6 profile is widely used for rail caps, stair treads, bridges, boardwalks, and architectural accents where visual weight and structural performance are required.
