Overview

Ipe 1×8 Brazilian lumber boards
Ipe 1×8 boards give you a wide plank look with strong outdoor performance. This Brazilian lumber adds a bold, modern feel to decks and walls. In addition, many people call Ipe Brazilian teak because of its deep brown tone.

Ipe 1×8 size
Ipe 1×8 measures 3/4 inch by 7.25 inches. Because the board is wider, it covers more area. As a result, you get fewer seams and a cleaner look. Also, the wide face creates strong lines that stand out on large builds.

Where to use Ipe 1×8
Use Ipe 1×8 when you want more coverage and a bold finish. For example, it works well for wide plank decks and clean wall designs. It also fits projects where you want strong privacy and solid panels.

Common uses

  • wide plank decking and main deck surfaces

  • privacy fencing and screen walls

  • siding and exterior wall cladding

  • soffits and ceiling details

  • stairs, landings, and walkways

  • accent walls and outdoor features

Built for tough weather
Ipe is very dense, so it holds up in harsh conditions. It helps resist moisture, rot, and insects. In addition, kiln-drying helps improve stability. Therefore, the boards keep their shape better through seasons.

Milling and quality
Each board is milled S4S E4E for smooth faces and clean edges. Because of that, installs feel easier and the finished look stays sharp. Also, FSC certification supports responsible sourcing.

Fire rating and long life
Ipe can support Class A fire-rated assemblies when you use an approved system. It also has a long service life, often over 40 years in outdoor use. So, Ipe 1×8 is a smart pick for high-traffic areas and standout exterior builds.

IPE DECKING LOS ANGELES REVIEW

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.
