Description
Ipe
Lapacho or Brazilian Walnut – a tropical hardwood originating from South America. Boards available in lengths of 1200 mm and 1800 mm and either 90 mm wide or 140 mm wide giving a great deal of flexibility.
It has a greenish brown appearance and because of its tight grain is popular for its high resistance to mildew, termites and rotting. It is very low maintenance and is used extensively in marine and exterior construction due to its resistance to water. It dries very well and becomes extremely hard, which means it has to be pre-drilled and cut with a mechanical saw. Ipe has a fire rating of Euroclass B and will last up to 25 years. It is nicknamed “ironwood”.
Cumaru
Cumaru (Brazil) is another hardwearing timber.
It is similar to ipe but has a rich chestnut colour. It has very good strength and rot-resistant properties. Suitable for clients who favour a lighter-coloured wood finish.
Features and benefits:
- Highest quality and stability.
- All species are sourced following the most stringent sustainability protocols.
- 25 year warranty.
- Euroclass Fire Rating Class B.
- Ipe is very hard, resistant to termites and fungus.
- Cumaru is resistant to fungal and marine attack.
