You have probably heard a lot about Ipe wood: about how durable and dense it is, how it’s perfect for decking and siding, and how popular it is. And you might be wondering why it has such a great reputation. Ipe hardwood is wood that originates in Brazilian forests and is known for its incredible hardness.
You may have seen Ipe wood compared to the hardness of nails. Saying that it is as “hard as nails” isn’t just something catchy to write, it’s true which is why Ipe wood is often pre-drilled. Ipe wood is also known among some as “Ironwood” for this reason. How can this benefit your decking project? With long lasting lifetime use and low maintenance. And here's why:
