Ipe hardwood flooring is incredibly durable. There aren't many species denser and stronger than Ipe, and its dense cell structure serves as a natural deterrent to insects, decay, and molds, ensuring that an Ipe hardwood floor will last quite a while. Because of this natural resilience Ipe hardwood is often the first choice for decking because of its almost unparalleled ability to stand up to the elements. More than just durable, Ipe is also very pleasing to the eye. With a Class A fire rating, it occupies the same class of fire-retardant materials as steel.
