If you are wanting to install premium decking in your home, then you will be hard pushed to find a better material than IPE decking. This exotic hardwood (pronounced “ee-pay”) comes from the tropical forests of South America and is also known as Brazilian Walnut.
It has become a highly sought after wood for use in outdoor decking as it is known for its natural resistance to rot, decay and insects. IPE is an incredibly dense wood making it a very long-lasting option when used as decking, and has a rich, deep brown color and a beautiful, fine grain giving it a luxurious appearance.
Discover the IPE Decking Difference: Why Portland Homeowners Are Choosing it
When trying to decide on the best choice for decking, one of the most important factors is how long the chosen material will last. Wood has traditionally been used for decking because it provides a beautifully natural look, but it is susceptible to the weather and requires regular maintenance like sanding and staining to keep it in tip-top condition and looking good.
Those who do not want to be having to maintain their decking now opt for the more durable composite decking, which although initially more expensive works out to be more cost-effective over time.
But if you really want a natural wood decking that can really stand the test of time then choose IPE decking in Portland, Oregon because the density and natural properties of this South American hardwood make it an excellent choice for Portland’s wet climate.
Its natural beauty and superior performance are ideal for creating stunning outdoor spaces, whilst offering durability and resistance to splitting and warping.

IPE vs Other Decking Materials
Choosing the best materials for your garden project is no simple matter, and upfront costs are always a big consideration with any home renovations or upgrades. But when planning your budget, factors involving the longevity of the materials chosen is often overlooked in the initial pricing.
If you are considering having IPE deck installation in Portland OR then look beyond the initial costs, which will be more expensive than other woods and composite. IPE decking can last for over 100 years – it even boasts a Class A fire rating – so once you’ve installed it you are likely never going to have to change it.
It is exceptionally hard, strong and dense, making it resistant to scratches, dents and insects, and will expand and contract very little with temperature changes.
Composite decking is not as strong as IPE and can be prone to warping (especially in extreme temperatures). It can also get very hot to touch in the summer and has a much shorter lifespan – about 25 years.
However, it is an extremely low-maintenance material and comes in a wide array of colors and is light and easy to transport and work with. IPE on the other hand, will require periodic oiling to maintain its rich color and is much heavier to transport and work with.
