Are you considering Brazilian walnut/ipe flooring for your home or commercial space? This dense South American timber has a similar appearance to Cumaru Brazilian teak, although it tends to be darker in color, ranging from a rust-brown to deep olive and black. It is chosen for its majestic colors and superior performance and lifespan.
One of the world’s most durable woods
Brazilian walnut or ipe ranks 3684 on the Janka hardness scale, making it one of the hardest woods available. As a result, it is also one of the longest lasting lumbers, with incredible resilience against decay, rot, and insect attack. Reclaimed ipe was even used in the Coney Island boardwalk, with some sections weathering 25 years of foot traffic and environmental onslaughts before needing to be replaced. This outstanding durability makes Brazilian walnut/ipe flooring a good choice for commercial areas, homes with big, active families and pets, and exterior decks.
Striking brown colors
Brazilian walnut derived from heartwood ranges in color from green-brown to blackish. It has natural powdery yellow deposits, and often features interesting lighter or darker striping. It has a fine to medium texture, and is generally a straight grained wood, but Brazilian walnut can also be irregular and/or interlocked.
