Water Reclaimed Ipe Siding

Ipe is a beautiful, highly durable wood that is prized for its color, character, and high resistance to decay and insect attacks making it a perfect choice for siding.  Far too much Ipe available on the market is harvested illegally or in a manner that leads to deforestation.  TerraMai Water Reclaimed woods have been standing in reservoirs in the tropics, perfectly preserved for decades. We expertly remove, dry, and mill these lost and forgotten woods, delivering them to you as environmentally positive tropical hardwoods.

Source: Reclaimed from reservoirs in the tropics.

Species: Handroanthus

Colors: Beautiful deep brown that, left unfinished, ages gracefully into a soft, silver patina

Net Dimensions:

• Rainscreen profile:  4-1/4” wide (including 1/4" reveal) x 5/8" thick x 4’ - 10’ random lengths.
• Shiplap profile:  4-1/4" wide (including 1/4" reveal) x 3/4" thick x 4' - 10' random lengths.

Millwork: Surfaced four sides (S4S).

Character: Mostly clear with occasional small tight knots and or marine borer hole up to 1/16" (1.5mm).  As with most exterior woods, over time and with exposure to the elements, it will develop shallow surface checking. This does not affect structural performance of the material.

Finish: Available with Exterior Oil on all faces, edges, and ends.

Certification: Water Reclaimed material - TerraMai Certified as sustainably harvested

 Note: Proper acclimation and design is critical to a successful project. Please review the TerraMai installation guidelines for details. Exterior woods, over time and exposure to the elements, will develop shallow surface checking. This does not affect structural performance of the material.
