Ipe, as it is commonly known, is mostly distributed from Brazil and the Caribbean.
Its heartwood has an olive-brown colour with lighter and darker streaks, and is mostly straight grained with fine yellow flecks.
Ipe is classed as a hardwood that has a very high density, and is resistant to steam bending. This timber can be worked with hand tools with a severe blunting effect.
Generally, it is a rapid drying lumber with some twisting and end surface checking, and a small amount of movement in service.
Ipe flooring is suitable for all domestic, commercial, and exterior decking projects, and is a very popular species. It is commonly used for high-end refurbishments and new builds.
