IPE TIMBER DECKING
Ipe Timber Decking Made for Your Garden
Known as one of the hardest and most durable decking materials available, ipe, often referred to as ‘Ironwood,’ offers unparalleled resistance and aesthetic grandeur. Its rich, deep colours and fine grain provide a luxurious aesthetic, making it the perfect choice for homeowners looking to uplift their outdoor space.
The Exquisite Nature of Ipe Timber
Ipe is a tropical timber native to Central and South America. Renowned for its extraordinary density and durability, ipe is harvested from forests in countries like Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. This exotic hardwood grows slowly, resulting in its exceptional hardness and resilience, making it one of the most sought-after materials for outdoor decking.
What makes ipe unique compared to other wood types is its remarkable combination of beauty and strength. Ipe wood boasts a rich, deep colour palette ranging from olive brown to darker brown hues, with a fine, tight grain that exudes a natural, luxurious aesthetic.
What Ipe Can Do for Your Garden
Durability and Longevity
You need timber decking that lasts, especially in the face of the unpredictable weather Britain is famed for – and ipe decking is renowned for its exceptional durability. This hardwood is highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, ensuring that your deck remains sturdy and beautiful for decades.
Its natural density also means it can withstand heavy foot traffic and the harshest conditions without warping or cracking, significantly reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Low Maintenance
Maintaining an outdoor deck can be time-consuming and costly. Ipe decking offers a low-maintenance solution that appeals to those looking to save on upkeep. Its natural oils and dense fibres make it resistant to mould, mildew, and pests, eliminating the need for regular chemical treatments or extensive cleaning.
A simple occasional wash and an annual oiling are usually sufficient to keep your ipe deck looking pristine. This ease of maintenance means you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor space and less time working on it.
Aesthetics
A beautiful deck can really complete your outdoor space, and our ipe decking is prized for its rich, deep colours and fine grain – which create a luxurious and sophisticated look that blends beautifully with the natural features of your garden.
The wood’s natural variations in hue, from olive brown to darker brown, provide a unique and striking appearance that acts as the perfect finishing touch to any garden or patio.
Environmental Sustainability
Our ipe decking is sourced from FSC-certified suppliers, ensuring that the wood is harvested responsibly. This certification supports sustainable forest management, helping to maintain biodiversity and reduce environmental impact.
By opting for ipe, you are making an eco-friendly choice that contributes to the preservation of our planet’s forests while enjoying the benefits of a premium, durable decking material.
Safety and Comfort
Ipe stays cooler under the sun compared to many other decking materials, making it more comfortable to walk on during warm weather. When properly finished, its smooth surface also reduces the risk of splinters, providing a safer environment for bare feet.
Not only that, but the robust nature of our ipe decking means it can support heavy furniture and withstand high traffic without compromising safety or comfort, allowing you to create and decorate your outdoor space the way you want.
Fire Resistance
Ipe decking offers peace of mind with its high fire rating. Classified as a Class A fire-resistant material, ipe provides an added layer of natural protection against fire hazards, making it the perfect fit for most gardens – even those with barbeques.
This fire resistance, combined with its other impressive qualities, makes ipe an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a safe and reliable decking solution.
