IPE Decking
If you are looking for a natural deck product that will last years and will not require much maintenance – IPE decking is your best choice. While IPE requires a bigger up-front investment, in comparison to cedar decking, IPE decking will pay off in the long run.
For instance, IPE material can last between 40 to 100 years. As for maintenance, many oil their decks to keep up the shiny look. However, IPE decks can also be left completely untreated, as IPE boards will not rot, decay, or develop large cracks.
IPE decking benefits
Another advantage of IPE vs. composite or PVC is that it does not heat up as much in the sun and if it is scratched significantly, the scratches then can be sanded out. Also, IPE boards are much stronger than pressure-treated, cedar or composite decking. IPE is known to have the highest hardness of all decking materials on the market.
In conclusion, IPE is the best choice for homeowners who are looking for a quality material that will not feel like plastic and perform well long term. There is no better natural material on the market than IPE decking!
