 DISTINCTIVE, DURABLE, AND STRONG...
In the Teak family, the most durable wood deck material around.
Looks like furniture, wears like iron. Ipe (EE-pay), also known generically as ironwood. Originating in South America, Ipe decking is a unique decking material that brings the warmth and beauty of indoor hardwoods to the outdoors. Extensively used in commercial exterior construction such as boardwalks, piers, and benches, it has recently become the top choice for residential decks due to its low maintenance, attractive color, and very smooth surface! It is a heavy timber, approximately 64 lbs. per cubic foot when dry, normally sinks in water, and has a fire rating of Class A, (the same as concrete or steel). Uses include: residential and commercial decking, boardwalks, piers, fencing, park benches, etc.
A sealer coat can be applied to preserve their natural color, which ranges from a rich russet to a classic reddish brown. Left unsealed, they weather to handsome silver patina.  One of the more famous commercial applications for Ipe has been the Atlantic City Boardwalk. After 24 years of use, the planks used show almost no wear! {The picture to the right is the board walk at Atlantic City} Its features include:
