Description
Ipe Deck Tiles are a premium, pre-assembled hardwood decking solution designed specifically for rooftops, patios, balconies, and low ground-clearance applications where traditional deck framing is impractical or impossible. These Ipe 24×24 Deck Tiles deliver the same world-renowned durability, fire resistance, and longevity as full-dimension Ipe decking—while offering unmatched installation flexibility.
Manufactured from all-natural Ipe hardwood, each tile provides a refined architectural finish suitable for both residential and commercial environments.

Designed for Rooftop & Low-Clearance Installations
Conventional decking systems require consistent airflow beneath boards to prevent moisture imbalance. In real-world conditions—such as rooftop membranes, concrete pads, or areas with elevation limits—adequate airflow is often impossible to achieve. Ipe Rooftop Deck Tiles are engineered specifically for these scenarios.
Each tile is constructed from eight precision-milled Ipe planks securely fastened to an integrated sub-structure using all stainless steel hardware, dramatically reducing the risk of cupping and movement. For a detailed technical explanation of airflow, drainage, and why deck tiles are often the preferred solution in these conditions, see:

These tiles can be installed directly over concrete, rooftop membranes, patios, balconies, or grass, and they also perform exceptionally well when installed over standard deck framing, offering true design versatility.
Strength, Durability & Fire Performance
Ipe is globally recognized as one of the most durable natural hardwoods available. Ipe Deck Tiles are naturally resistant to rot, decay, termites, mold, and moisture, without chemical treatment. They achieve a Class A Fire Rating, meeting and exceeding ASTM E108 standards—making them ideal for urban rooftops and commercial projects where fire safety is critical.
Because of this performance, Ipe deck tiles are commonly used in restaurants, rooftop bars, exhibition areas, office buildings, and other high-traffic environments.
Natural Beauty, Weathering & Maintenance
Ipe features rich brown, olive, and chocolate tones with striking grain variation. As with all real hardwoods, color variation is natural and expected. Left unfinished, tiles will weather to a silver-gray patina; optional oiling preserves the original color without affecting performance.
Maintenance is simple and optional. For proper cleaning, brightening, and oiling guidance, reference the Messmer’s Cleaning & Oil Multimedia Guide:
