Ipe (pronounced ee-pay) is one of the densest hardwoods available for outdoor construction. Ipe 1x4 is very dense (in fact it sinks in water), it has the same fire rating as concrete and steel, and it is mildew and decay resistant. Its denseness and natural oils make it virtually impenetrable to insects (so insect deterioration is not an issue). Ipe 1x4 does not scratch or splinter easily, it does not become hot in the sun, and has a high friction coefficient, making it perfect for outdoor and seaside construction.

Cumaru (pronounced Ku-mah-rue) also known as Brazilian Teak is one of the densest hardwoods available for outdoor construction, second only to ipe. It is very dense, which is why it is ideal for exterior use as it is mildew and decay resistant. Cumaru 1x4 is often used for decking, flooring, railroad ties as well as other purposes. Just like ipe, cumaru has a A1 fire rating, does not scratch or splinter easily, it does not become hot in the sun, and has a high friction coefficient, making it perfect for outdoor and seaside construction.
