Ipe Wood FAQs

What makes Ipe wood a better choice than pressure-treated lumber?
Ipe is one of the densest hardwoods on the planet, naturally resistant to rot, insects, fire, and weathering without any chemical treatment. Pressure-treated lumber relies on chemical preservatives to resist decay, and those preservatives break down over time in ways that Ipe’s natural density never does. An Ipe deck built by Decks by Kiefer can last 40 to 75 years with proper care, far outlasting any pressure-treated alternative.
Ipe decks deliver a natural density, visual richness, and lifespan of 40 to 75 years that no composite product can match, and they add a level of material prestige to a property that composite simply does not carry. Composite decks offer lower maintenance and consistent color retention, which makes them the right choice for some homeowners and some projects.
Can an existing deck be resurfaced with Ipe wood?
Technically, yes, but with an investment in an Ipe deck, you want to make sure the rest of the deck will stand as long as your new deck surface. You want to avoid “throwing good money after bad.”
Kiefer Oil is a proprietary stain developed specifically for fine wood decks, including Ipe, to penetrate the wood’s dense grain and protect against UV exposure, moisture, and surface wear. No off-the-shelf deck stain is formulated with the same level of specificity for premium hardwood surfaces, and the difference in performance and appearance is evident over time.
