Ipe - Diamond Decking —it doesn't just last... it lasts beautifully!

Distinctive hardwood markings, smooth even texture and warm golden highlights combine to create the richness of teak. With minimal care, Ipe will retain it's original appearance for years.

Left to itself, Ipe naturalized to a fine silvery patina. Five times harder that pine, cedar and redwood. Ipe eliminates the scarring, wear and twisting associated with much softer woods when exposed to everyday traffic and changing weather conditions.

Amazingly strong, yet easy to work, Ipe utilization in Architectural Landscaping is limited only by your imagination. Consistency of quality and appearance throughout the wide spectrum of available dimensions affords the designer the freedom to create distinction within each particular project.
