This wood has a color ranging from yellowish brown to dark brown. It has a fine to medium grain, which makes this wood luxurious and aesthetically pleasing wherever it is found. It is so dense and hard that it does not float on water. Thanks to its high density and high concentrations of tannic acid, Ipe wood has great durability and resistance to insects and fungi. Our decking is imported and seasoned, which contributes to a better stability of the wood, minimizing the dimensional changes that occur with weathering.
