Langevin & Forest carries ExodeckMD ipe, a refined and urban ambiance wood that is naturally dark brown with orange streaks, and will instill your terrace with personality.
Ipe is a hardwood ideal for building decks because it is very solid, durable, and immune to inclement weather. This highly compact wood is very resistant even without protective treatment. If you wish to conserve its new appearance, apply a finishing coat, but a sealant is not necessary to protect the wood. ExodeckMDipe will maintain its unique properties and beauty for years to come.
