Ipe Coloured Composite Decking

Spotted gum style colouring with South American tones

Ipe composite decking

Drawing inspiration from its South American hardwood namesake, Ipe (pronounced ee-pay) is a composite with an enchanting richness.

Coloured from olive to dark blackish brown, with contrasting stripes, there is a tropical charm about the pattern in Ipe. Whilst based on the South American hardwood, once installed, Ipe has a very similar colour palette to the Australian hardwood, spotted gum.

The end result… Ipe composite will provide your outdoor space with a rich backdrop that will enhance your furnishings.

Rich tones with easy maintenance

As a timber, Ipe is getting increasingly difficult to source in an ethical manner. However, as a sustainably manufactured composite, this classical colouring is not only easier to source, but also easier to maintain. As a high grade, capped composite, it requires no coating at any stage, with guaranteed colour preservation ensuring your prolonged appreciation.

For cleaning your composite decking, all you’ll need is some warm soapy water, as this is more than sufficient to clean the high quality decking finish.

A Safer Decking Option

Whilst rich brown tones are particularly popular for installations, using timber decking for these locations requires additional considerations. By using Ipe composite decking, you get the safety advantage of a non-slip surface, that is resilient to mould and insect resistant, making it ideal for tropical colour tones near the pool.

Added to the hidden fixings, your non-slip surface is uninterrupted, as will be your enjoyment of this immensely popular decking material.
