Ipe, Brazilian Walnut Species Information

Ipe is an incredibly durable wood. Its dense cell structure serves as a natural deterrent to insects, decay, and molds. Because of this natural resilience Ipe is often the first choice for decking because of its almost unparalleled ability to stand up to the elements. More than just durable, Ipe is also very pleasing to the eye. Its heartwood is light to dark olive brown with contrasting yellowish-grey or grey brown tones accompanying it. With a Class A fire rating, Ipe occupies the same class of fire-retardant materials as steel. For durability, safety, and beauty, Ipe makes an excellent choice.

Grading for Ipe, Brazilian Walnut

Std & Btr grade material is color matched in most species of wood. This is the highest grade available in our Southeast Asian decking items. No open defects are allowed on at least one face. Small tight knots, occasional pin holes, and other small non-structural defects are allowed on the back side and edges. The material is all heartwood, allowing an occasional sliver of sapwood on one face and one edge.
