Ipé (botan. tabebuia serratifolia, tabebuia spp.) is a hardwood tree growing in Northern South America. It is part of the family of catalpas (bignoniaceae). Ipé is also known as the Brazilian walnut. The trunks reach a height of 20 to 40 m and diameters of 60 to 100 cm. The branch-free lengths are at 8 to 15 m. Other known trade names are: Guayacán or Lapacho. pé is known as one of the hardest natural woods and is also called "ironwood". Its properties such as durability and hardness are outstanding. According to resistance class 1, Ipé is one of the naturally most durable wood types in the world. The long sea transport in closed containers may cause discolouration or small mould formation. These can be brushed or washed off after installation. Colour differences adjust under UV light. Ipé has a brown-yellow to olive colour that, as in all wood types, will acquire a naturally grey patina if subjected to UV light for a while. This greying can only be reduced by repeated pigmenting painting with a care oil. B&W-hardwood care oil is particularly good for this. Only use stainless steel when processing Ipé and always cover the surrounding wood during metal work. Flying chips may cause black discolouration. Fresh cuts must be impregnated. Our hardwood cut protection reduces tearing at the front face. DECKING Generally branch-free sorting Artificially dried Unilaterally serrated Unilaterally planed Ipé, Resistance class 1
