Ipé, often called Brazilian walnut, is a beautiful exotic wood from South America. Typically used for decking and other outdoor applications, Ipé structures are hard, strong, and naturally resistant to rot, abrasion and weather. It is almost twice as dense as most woods and up to five times harder. It is dark brown in Colour, like a mahogany, so not only lasts a long time but has the beauty of a fine interior wood. If Ipé can age, color can be brought back to its original shade with the use of cleaners. Ipé has become a very popular and inexpensive alternative to teak when it comes to architectural, docks, and outdoor structures.
