Its beauty and durability are the most important reasons why it is rapidly becoming the ultimate luxury wood. Another great feature is that Ipe will not splinter or crack, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. It is naturally resistant to moisture and can be applied over any flat surface, such as rooftops, pools, or indoor areas.
