What if I told you there’s a timber so durable it can outlast concrete? Meet Ipe – the ‘ironwood’ that’s revolutionising sustainable construction.
Most people think all wood is fragile. Ipe timber proves them wrong. This Brazilian hardwood naturally resists fire, insects, and rot for 75+ years without treatment.
Three Key Applications
- Premium Decking: Think boardwalks in Atlantic City – they’ve used Ipe for decades
- High-End Furniture: Outdoor pieces that weather storms without staining or sealing
- Commercial Construction: Bridge components and marine structures where failure isn’t an option
Responsibly harvested Ipe comes from FSC-certified forests. Unlike synthetic alternatives, it’s carbon-negative and fully biodegradable at the end of life.
“Have you ever worked with a material that actually gets stronger with age? What’s your experience with ultra-durable building materials?”
