Description
Built for Clean Fascia Coverage and Architectural Finishing
The IPE 1×12 Fascia Board (Solid) (actual ¾″ × 11⅛″) is engineered specifically for fascia and architectural trim applications, providing a clean, finished perimeter that conceals framing and structural elements beneath premium decks. This wide-format profile is most commonly installed around decks built with Ipe Decking, creating a uniform, intentional appearance that elevates the entire deck system.
Unlike standard decking boards, Ipe 1×12 is not intended for walking surfaces and should never be used for stair treads, where its width increases the risk of cracking, cupping, or long-term movement. Instead, this profile excels as fascia, rim coverage, and exterior trim—where visual impact and durability matter most.
Premium Grade A Ipe from Brazilian Wood Depot
Brazilian Wood Depot supplies only Premium Grade A (FAS) Ipe hardwood, selected for consistent milling, rich color range, and predictable performance. Most boards are kiln-dried, an especially important attribute for wide fascia boards where dimensional stability is critical.
Thanks to its density and natural oils, Ipe delivers exceptional resistance to moisture, insects, and decay—qualities that make Ipe Hardwood Decking and fascia systems perform reliably for decades.
Designed Specifically for Fascia, Trim, and Post Wraps
Ipe 1×12 is used almost exclusively for:
- Deck fascia and perimeter skirting
- Covering rim joists and exposed framing
- Architectural trim details and transitions
- Select post-wrap applications when proper airflow is maintained
For deck surfaces, Brazilian Wood Depot recommends engineered profiles found on the Ipe Decking resource page, which are designed to manage airflow, live loads, and long-term surface stability.
Installation Guidance and Fastening Support
Ipe fascia boards are typically installed using professional face-fastening methods that prioritize holding strength and clean alignment. For best results, follow the Surface Screw Certified Guide or the Pro Plug Certified Guide—both of which provide step-by-step instructions for fastening dense tropical hardwood fascia with proper spacing and expansion control.
Correct fastening technique, ventilation, and back-clearance are essential for wide-format trim boards, particularly in climates with temperature or humidity swings.
Sustainability, Longevity, and Natural Performance
All Ipe products from Brazilian Wood Depot are responsibly sourced through selective harvesting practices designed to preserve forest ecosystems long-term. To understand how sustainability and performance coexist in premium hardwoods, explore the Sustainable Ipe Certified Interactive Course.
When installed correctly, Ipe fascia boards routinely last 40–75 years, matching the lifespan of premium decking and framing systems.
