Hardwood such as ipe, cumaru, garapa, massaranduba, anaheim and sapele are ideal for exteriors as they will last for over 35 years with little to no maintenance. Residential and commercial contractors alike are choosing to build in ipe wood because it is a safe, stylish, and sustainable construction material.

With increased fires in California, there is a trend to find materials that are flame resistant. Ipe and Cumaru have the same fire rating as concrete or steel, which means they are a great option for construction in California.

Anaheim is one of the strongest and most resilient natural untreated decking material available on the market. It can be used for building decks, docks, boardwalks, fences, cladding, and siding.

Ipe, which is also called Brazilian walnut, is strong and naturally resistant to rot, abrasion, weather, and insects. It is almost twice as dense as most woods and up to five times harder.

It is medium to darker brown in color which will turn to a silver patina if left unsealed.

Ipe decking is an excellent choice for California’s climate as it does not conduct heat easily, which means walking out on your deck barefoot won’t be a problem. It is also splint and warp resistant, which means splinters will likely not be a problem either.

Ipe is one of the best types of wood for outdoor construction because it is dense, so much so it has the same fire rating as concrete and steel. This is important in California given the risk of fires.

As opposed to other wood, ipe is fire retardant which can help keep your home safe. It is ideal for outdoors because it naturally lasts for over 35 years with little to no maintenance. Ipe is also extremely insect, mildew, fungus, and mold resistant.
