Advantages of Using IPE Woods

Are you looking for a beautiful decking material for your house or office? Let me tell you, you should go for the IPE woods. Now you may be thinking that what are IPE woods? IPE woods are the most exotic and beautiful woods found in South America, which is also known as Brazilian walnut. Trust me; IPE Woods has got some great features that make it one of the perfect materials for your deck.

Let me tell that you that what makes IPE Woods so special?  It is that the wood comes from the Tabebuia Tree that is native to the subtropics of Central America and South America. Part of the reason for its toughness is the tropical environment where it grows. It has oils and natural hardness which results in a naturally treated wood that can last for a long time no matter where it is installed.

So, what I would request you guys here is that after all, you are going to use your hard-earned money on decking your home or office, so why to go for synthetic decking materials when you can have authentic Brazilian IPE wood that’s more durable and weatherproof. Below are some of the advantages of using IPE wood for your deck.

Looks great 

It looks great in your office and home with it’s smooth and shiny texture. Apart from that, Its grains are wavy and straight with very fine texture. It doesn’t need sealing, and maintenance work is as easy as cleaning stain and mopping. It is recommended to apply oil to the wood to increase its ability to repel UV rays and water. The oil will also allow the wood to keep its reddish-brown color.

Comes in different sizes

Of course all do not need the same size of IPE Woods when it comes to wholesale decking. After all, you may need them for different purposes like hand railing, decking boards, treads and posts among others. They also come as heavy timber that’s ideal for boardwalks and other structural applications. IPE decking is typically air-dried, but they are also available in kiln-dried. You can also get IPE wood pre-grooved and with tongue-and-groove.

Durable!

IPE Brazilian hardwood decking is durable because the material is one of the densest wood species on the planet. Not only that, it is durable and also eco-friendly. The surface of the wood is naturally resistant to mildew, insect damage, and fire, even without any treatment. Its fire rating is Class A, which is the same class as steel and concrete. It contracts and expands less compared to other materials. Because of these properties, building a deck using IPE wood will give you a surface that looks good and lasts for more than 50 years.

So, these are some of the benefits and my reasons why I vouch for IPE Woods. These are one of the favorite decking materials of even interior designers because of its durability and beauty. 

So, if you too are considering IPE wood in your next wood structure, you have made the right choice. IPE may be priced a little more than most woods, but its long term value is worth the price.
