The World’s Best DeckingAdvantage Ipe™ (pronounced EE-pay) is the finest-quality hardwood available. From the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk to your own backyard, Ipe decking is proven to keep its integrity and last longer than any other decking material. Ipe is naturally resistant to rot and is over 3 times harder than traditional Teak. These natural qualities mean an Ipe deck can last 75+ years without constant staining or refinishing. Ipe decking is responsibly harvested from managed forests to provide a truly renewable resource. For added peace of mind, Ipe also features up to a class A rating for flame spread, making it a great option for homes in dry brush areas, rooftops, and other fire-prone areas.

Brazilian Redwood Outperforms & Outlasts Traditional RedwoodAdvantage Massaranduba™ (pronounced Ma-Sa-Ran-Doo-bah) bears the distinction of being one of the hardest and most beautiful woods in the world, as well as the most abundant hardwood specie in South America. With such a dependable material, you can enjoy outdoor living year-round without worrying about constant staining or heavy-duty maintenance. One surprising fact about this natural hardwood is how well it performs under heavy load (bending strength) tests. These tests revealed that, as a decking material, Massaranduba is nearly three times stronger than Teak.
