WHY IPE Black label DECKING IS BEST
IPE BLACK LABEL IS THE BEST WOOD DECKING MATERIAL IN THE WORLD!
Ipe Black Label is an ecologically friendly wood choice, highly regarded for its ability to resist rot, insect attack, and mold, without requiring the use of toxic chemicals that must be used on other decking wood to give them similar properties. Ipe is extremely dense and strong and its high wear durability makes it far more resistant to cracks and splintering. This is why Ipe Black Label decks can last for decades. Ipe Black Label is rated ‘High 70+ years’ for its decay resistance, though it tends to last much longer… if only there were a higher rating! Ipe shrugs off weather, with little effect on its structural integrity. Like metal for fire resistance, Ipe Black Label is rated an excellent ‘A1’.
Over time, the sun will change the color of the wood from the initial red-brown to a stunning silver patina. Best of all, when you buy Ipe Black Label from Tropical Forest Products you know your wood has been harvested from legally demarcated sustainable forests.
Ipe Black Label is an extremely economical and eco-friendly alternative to other types of wood, especially when the life cycle is considered. When the cost of materials and labor is compared to alternative decking materials, Ipe Black Label’s lifespan puts it far in the lead. Compared to other decking materials like redwood cedar, composites, and torrefied woods, Ipe Black Label is very competitively priced – but Ipe Black Label’s lifespan and properties make it by far the superior option.
IPE Black label IS FIVE TIMES STRONGER THAN TREATED WOODS AND CEDAR!

HANDLING AND STORING IPE Black Label DECKING BEFORE INSTALLATION
Ipe Black Label decking is air-dried to between 15% and 18% moisture content for optimal outdoor performance. Ipe Black Label boards should be stabilized and acclimatized to the climate before installation. Until installed, boards should be stored away from direct sunlight and should be kept dry. Boards should be kept on a level surface, preferably not kept directly on concrete or the ground. A plastic sheet, tarp, or another moisture barrier should be used.
Boards should be stacked evenly on bolsters, which allows airflow from underneath. If the boards will be stored outdoors, make sure to cover the top and sides. Sufficient ventilation is very important for keeping cupping to a minimum and for preserving the long-term stability of the lumber.
Deck planning is crucial for the longevity of the boards and to prevent the build-up of humid air under the wood, which will permeate into the boards. Correctly planned airflow channels will allow air to flow from under the deck, between the joists, and through the gaps between the boards.
The design of the deck also needs to enable cross ventilation to minimize the chances of cupping and surface checking of the boards. This will reduce the natural tendency of wood to move in use. We suggest at least 18” of open-air under the joists and open side for sufficient airflow. If skirting is installed, it must be ensured it does not hinder sufficient cross ventilation. The ground should be sloped sufficiently to prevent water from standing under the deck, which is why installing a deck above a concrete pad is not recommended. Concrete raises the risk of water retention, and boards will tend to cup and crown.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Ensure your building complies with all local building codes, and consult with a structural engineer for load-bearing and commercial applications.
For joists and concealed structural parts, cedar, metal, or pressure-treated wood may be preferred. Joist heads can be protected by a membrane to make the structure last longer.
Ipe Black Label decking gets its long-lasting durability from a natural alkali. Take care while working with Ipe Black Label as the fine yellow dust that is produced during moist operations can cause dermatitis. Prolonged inhalation of sawdust also should be avoided. Make sure to wear eye protection and wash up properly after handling the wood. Due to the high density of the wood, pre-drilling and countersinking is suggested between screwing and nailing. Carbide saw blades and quality drill bits are also recommended.
MAKE SURE YOU USE HIGH-QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL SCREWS
Steel, iron, galvanized and coated products can cause black staining and generally have a shorter life than Ipe wood itself. Proper fastener length is usually the thickness of the wood multiplied by a minimum factor of 2.5. Also use two screws per joist to attach the decking.
A minimum 3/32” gap between Ipe Black Label decking boards is recommended to ensure adequate airflow and drainage. End to end butt joints will be installed without gap, but once the wood us seasoned a 1/8” shrinking on 6” boards is expected. In hot and dry climates, expect additional shrinkage. If that’s the case, kiln dried lumber and appropriate fastener must be considered.
Alternative screw and plug: Pre-drill and counter bore decking board up to 1/4″; drive in the screw and lightly tap and glue a 3/8” diameter plug in every hole with marine grade epoxy. Sand for a flush finish.
FINISHING
Decking boards may arrive “looking dirty” due to the manufacturing process and shipping. Marks from breather strips may show, there may even be water stains. Install the decking boards as they are received and then clean the surface with a power wash and sand once installed. The marks will normally blend into the surface and disappear over the next few months.
Ipe Black Label decking can be oiled to maintain its natural color or be left alone to weather to a beautiful silver patina. The high density of the wood means it doesn’t require any treatment to be durable.
We believe this information should be helpful and hope it is accurate. However, Tropical Forest Products does not assume any liability for the information provided. Installers are solely responsible for safe installation. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations and ensure designs are validated by a structural engineer.

Maintenance
MAINTAINING IPE Black Label DECKING
Ipe Black Label’s strength and hardness make it one of the easiest decking materials to maintain.
After installation
Ipe Black Label boards have a natural finish and are ready to be sanded lightly after installation. Use a 5” electric palm sander with #80 grit sandpaper to remove installation and transportation scratches. Sand the deck lightly, while paying attention to visible imperfections. Blow or sweep the dust off and a coat of exterior hardwood oil for decking can be applied.
Note
Wear protective gear to prevent dust inhalation and injuries from woodworking (including while cutting and sanding). It is highly advisable to wear gloves, a dust mask, and protective eyewear.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Annual maintenance is sufficient to keep the deck looking great, while bi-annual maintenance can yield even better results. The best seasons for that are springtime and just before autumn. This is important if you want to retain the rich red-brown color of Ipe Black Label decking for longer, instead of letting it acquire a silvery overtone.
Getting the right results is all about preparing the surface of the deck. Following regular annual maintenance also reduces the amount of work required. A light sanding with #80 grit sanding paper with an orbital palm sander is sufficient. Remove the dust that has accumulated and the wood is ready to re-oil.
If maintenance is not performed for a long time and the wood has become grey, pressure wash it and then let it dry for a couple of days. Sand lightly to remove grey spots and oil afterward.
LETTING IPE Black Label ACQUIRE ITS NATURAL COLOR
Ipe Black Label decking does not require regular maintenance and can be left to acquire its natural color. The UV rays in the sun will change the deck’s color to a silver patina which can be left as-is for as long as needed. To bring back the original color simply pressure wash the decking.

INSTALLATION TIPS FOR IPE SIDING
Allow the Ipe wood siding to acclimatize to its new environment. This will prevent unexpected expansion/shrinking after installation.
A wood sealer or oil should be applied to prevent premature aging, warping, and cupping.
The joist span/furring is advisably kept at a maximum of 16” cc.
Use an end sealer for end cuts to prevent splitting, uneven moisture loss, cupping, and checking.
45° cuts are best avoided in the corners as they can split over time. Advisable that a finishing corner is installed.
Stainless steel screws should be used for maximum longevity.
Exposed sun-facing sides of the Ipe wood should be refreshed every one or two years.
Ensure the construction is performed to specification and complies with building code. For load-bearing structures have the design validated by a structural engineer.
