IPE Decking Tiles
Cost effective, durable and easy to install, Ipe deck tiles are a great way to add style to your next project. Well suited for outdoor use, these tiles will age to a beautiful silvery finish or maintain their color when an outdoor sealer is used. Deck tiles are assembled with stainless steel screws and are pre-bored for the I-Connect system. I-Connect allows you to quickly and easily create a wooden deck on any well drained solid surface.

IPE and IBAMA
All of our suppliers of Ipe follow the rules and regulations set out by IBAMA. The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources - IBAMA, within the scope of its institutional mission of encouraging the correct techniques of intervention in nature, such as the management of forests in the Brazil, makes available, with this database, an important data basis. It is designed to be used by the forest industry and society in general, to help divulge Brazilian woods in both domestic and international markets. This database will encourage the commercialization of those species not well known in the market and allow forest management to be carried out with a greater number of species. This fact will increase the economic viability and, hopefully, reater utilization of sustainable forest management.
