Ipe

Ipe (Tabebuia) A very durable hardwood. Said to be three times as hard as oak. Ipe has a fine texture and an oily appearance is very heavy and very strong. Ipe is very dense and therefore assists in the repelling of water and rain. Ipe shows a resistance to the growth of algae which assists in keeping your decking clean and un-slippery. After weathering Ipe mellows to a fine silvery colour.
