BRAZILIAN IPE HARDWOOD DECKING
Discover the Timeless Appeal of Brazilian Ipe Decking with ABS Wood
At ABS Wood, we specialise in premium-quality Brazilian hardwoods that combine natural beauty, remarkable durability, and sustainability. Among our most sought-after products is Brazilian Ipe wood, known for its impressive strength, low maintenance, and classic olive-brown tones. Often referred to as Ipe Brazilian hardwood or Brazilian Walnut, this exceptional material stands out for decking projects across the U.S. and beyond.
Brazilian Ipe decking is dense, weather-resistant, and naturally resistant to insects, mould, and decay—perfect for creating stunning, long-lasting outdoor spaces. Its fine-to-medium texture and interlocking grain offer a luxurious finish, making it a top choice for homeowners, architects, and builders seeking both performance and aesthetics.
In addition to Brazilian Ipe decking, ABS Wood offers a wide selection of other Brazilian hardwoods:
- Garapa decking: A warm, honey-yellow wood that matures to a soft brown, offering durability and elegance.
- Cumaru decking: Sometimes called Brazilian Teak, Cumaru is extremely dense with a rich cherry tone.
- Tigerwood decking: Noted for its dramatic stripes, Tigerwood weathers to a rich reddish-brown.
- Massaranduba decking: Also known as Brazilian Redwood, this wood boasts a deep red tone and impressive resistance to rot and decay.
What makes Brazilian Ipe decking a standout is not just its strength (Janka rating of 3680), but its low maintenance requirements. While it naturally ages to a silver-grey, applying a UV-blocking oil can maintain its original colour for years. It’s also an eco-conscious choice, particularly when sourced from certified suppliers like ABS Wood, which offers FSC-certified Ipe Brazilian hardwood options.
We guide our customers from selection through installation, offering various dimensions, profiles, and design customisations to meet your project’s unique needs. Whether you prefer classic boards or tongue-and-groove styles, ABS Wood delivers exceptional value and reliable service.
From resistance to termites and rot to unrivalled longevity and visual appeal, Brazilian Ipe wood has no equal. Compared to pressure-treated wood, softwoods, composites, or even other tropical hardwoods, Ipe Brazilian hardwood decking is the superior choice for luxury, longevity, and sustainability.
