Ipe Hardwood Deck and Porch Builders in Kansas City
Choose Archadeck of Kansas City for Ipe hardwood deck builders and porch builders throughout the Kansas City area.
Ipe is a smart choice for outdoor living design for its weather-resistance, performing well year after year, with exposure to sun, wind, rain, and snow. An Ipe deck, even exposed to the elements, requires minimal maintenance, rivaling its composite deck and PVC deck counterparts in lifespan, and outperforming other wood deck and porch building products.
With Proper Care, Ipe Can Last for Decades
One of the benefits of Ipe hardwood, is that if homeowners choose not to perform periodic oiling or finishing, it still has a lifespan of 25 to 50 years.
Archadeck of Kansas City has many years’ experience in designing and building custom Ipe outdoor living spaces, to include screened porches, open porches, and decks. We pride ourselves on providing products that will last our clients for many years, requiring very little maintenance. Ipe is a product by which we can offer such outdoor spaces – ones that have you enjoying your backyard, rather than working in it.
The Popularity of Ipe Porches
Adding Ipe flooring to your screened porch design will add warmth with its rich color variations. Ipe colors range from reddish, blackish, and golden browns. Oiling this gorgeous hardwood will give a more saturated color palette to your screened porch.
Notice how the Ipe flooring in the screened porch below anchors the otherwise bright and airy space, adding rich color, but not making the space dark or gloomy. Ipe is also a great choice for outdoor living areas with fireplaces, as it is naturally fire-resistant!
What is Ipe Hardwood, Exactly?
Ipe is a very fine texture hardwood, with little or no knots or blemishes that would otherwise create weak points in its composition. This dense Brazilian hardwood has very little likelihood of splitting or splintering, which makes it ideal for decks and porches.
This natural Ipe hardwood deck in Lee’s Summit will remain strong and beautiful through literal decades of exposure to the elements and usage.
Ipe is Not Just for Porch Flooring or Decking
The screened in porch below has beautifully finished Ipe hardwood flooring, but these homeowners chose more than an Ipe floor. The porch fireplace façade was also finished in Ipe, in lieu of more traditional finishes, such as stacked stone, cultured stone, or brick. Ergo, this fireplace becomes a focal point for its unique and unexpected Ipe finish.
