KNOW YOUR WOOD: IPE
What is IPE?
Pronounced “E-Pay” and also known as “Iron Wood,” this Tropical Brazilian wood is one of the longest lasting available. Water and heat have hardly any effect and warping is not an issue. Not only is it naturally resistant to what the Southern California climate can throw at it, IPE is so dense it can resist insects and wood rot. Decks, Fencing and Fixtures made of IPE have a reputation of lasting upwards of twenty years or more! Strong and beautiful with natural colors of light brown, dark brown, yellow tones and hints of green. Installations using IPE are not only resilient they are incredibly versatile and breathtaking when finished.
IPE can be used for any home or commercial custom woodwork project. IPE is a popular choice for many custom wood pool decks, custom wood siding, custom wood fencing, custom wood furniture or just about any type of project you have in mind.
Below are a few photographic examples of the custom woodwork creations Olis Wood, Inc. has built and installed using IPE.
