Fluted Ayous 1×6 boards add modern texture and depth to exterior designs, featuring thermal modification for durability plus burn block treatment for enhanced fire resistance—lightweight, chemically free, and ideal for facades, soffits, fences, and decorative walls.
Fluted Ayous 1×6 boards bring both dimension and rhythm to any outdoor design. Their symmetrical grooves create texture and visual depth. This design makes them a favorite choice for modern facades, fences, soffits, and decorative wall applications. As a result, they enhance architectural details. At the same time, they maintain a natural warmth that complements a variety of styles.
Thanks to thermal modification, these boards resist water, insects, and decay without the need for added chemicals. In addition, they are treated with burn block for enhanced fire resistance. This adds an extra layer of protection for exterior applications. This process strengthens the wood and ensures long-lasting performance even in challenging outdoor conditions. Additionally, Ayous is naturally lightweight, making it easier to handle during installation. Therefore, it is ideal for vertical and overhead applications. The finished size of 3/4″ x 5.5″ provides a clean, uniform look. This look fits both large and small projects.
Designers and builders choose Fluted Ayous for both its aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. You can use these boards to:
Create striking modern facades that stand out
Build fences that offer privacy without feeling heavy or closed-off
Enhance soffits and ceilings with stylish texture
Add decorative wall accents that bring rhythm and depth
Furthermore, the boards cut, fasten, and align easily, allowing for efficient installation without sacrificing quality. Their lightweight nature also reduces strain during handling, which opens up possibilities for creative designs in spaces where heavier woods would be impractical.
Whether refreshing an exterior wall or designing a new outdoor feature, Fluted Ayous 1×6 delivers the perfect balance of beauty, durability, fire protection, and ease of use. Because of its combination of texture, visual interest, burn block treatment, and resistance to environmental challenges, your project will remain both functional and visually striking for years to come.

I started buying IPE from Brazilian Lumber over one year ago before the vendor opened the California location (i.e. where I am located). There were some issues related to the lumber (IPE), BUT the vendor made sure that all was taken care of and that I was happy. I mentioned “the issues” not to say that they product is bad, but rather to stressed out that the vendor provides superb service. No matter what you do, the problems may happen. Important is how such situations are handled. I was working with Luis, great guy to work with. I recommend this vendor.

I upgraded my backyard with Ipe deck tiles for my patio. It was definitely an investment, but it’s turned out to be worth every penny. The tiles were easy to install and the finished product is not only beautiful, but also incredibly durable and functional. I would highly recommend Ipe deck tiles to anyone looking to create a beautiful and long-lasting outdoor space.

The best place to get Brazilian hardwood that I\’ve found anywhere in California or online. The customer service is very good, the reps are attentive to you upon arrival and they are very knowledgeable. The quality of wood is superb and the pricing is cheaper than I can find anywhere else.
