Ipe

High-Performance Hardwood Renowned for Durability and Stability

Ipe is a premium tropical hardwood from Latin America, favored for its unmatched strength and resilience. Known as “Ironwood or Brazilian Walnut,” Ipe is incredibly dense, durable, and stable, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and challenging outdoor environments. Over time, its rich brown tones age to a distinguished silver, adding to its visual appeal. Sourced responsibly, Ipe is a sustainable choice for builders and architects in New Zealand seeking longevity and low-maintenance solutions for outdoor projects.
