Ipe Decking

Cherished for its rich color, exceptional strength, and natural resistance to decay, mold, and insects, our premium Ipe decking is responsibly reclaimed from submerged tropical forests—not harvested from living ones.

For projects where durability meets design, TerraMai Reclaimed Ipe Decking offers a rare combination of natural performance and architectural integrity. Prized for its rich color tones, tight grain, and exceptional hardness, Ipe has long been a go-to material for high-traffic outdoor spaces. But at TerraMai, we’re redefining what Ipe can mean—for your projects and for the planet.

Unlike conventionally harvested Ipe, which often contributes to illegal logging and deforestation in sensitive rainforest ecosystems, TerraMai sources Ipe through an innovative reclamation process. We recover submerged old-growth Ipe from South American reservoirs—where it has rested undisturbed and perfectly preserved for decades. Through expert drying and precision milling, we bring this exceptional wood back to life—without harming living forests.

Key Benefits for Architectural Applications:

  • Sustainable Sourcing: Water-reclaimed, not forest-harvested—environmentally responsible and LEED-contributing.
  • Superior Durability: Naturally resistant to decay, mold, insects, and moisture—ideal for high-use commercial and hospitality spaces.
  • Low Maintenance, Long Life: Ipe’s density and stability make it exceptionally long-lasting with minimal upkeep.
  • Timeless Aesthetic: Rich brown tones age gracefully to a silver-gray patina, offering design versatility from modern minimalism to rustic luxury.

Whether you’re designing rooftop terraces, boardwalks, public plazas, or resort decks, TerraMai Reclaimed Ipe offers the strength, beauty, and ethics your vision deserves.
