IPE decks are low-maintenance, but not “no maintenance.”

IPE is an excellent option for privacy fences, rooftop decks, railing and outdoor stairs. If you want IPE to last and keep its original look, reapplying a UV preventive oil should be a part of your summer-prep routine.

Resealing an IPE deck isn’t as easy as just pouring some oil on it. If applied haphazardly, you can over-seal the wood which can prevent it from breathing. If we mess with that drastically, a deck can become prone to cracking and aging quickly. The streaky, sticky aftermath from over-sealing is also a no-go for high traffic decks or anyone with children or pets. 

Looking to redo your IPE deck this summer? Give us a call, we’d love to get your outdoor space ready to go!
