Botanical Name:
Tabebuia serratifolia Appearance Ipe features a distinctive range of dark red, brown, and nearly black hues that mix to form an exotic and rich dark brown color. Graining varies substantially, and when coupled with its natural dark coloration, Ipe is perfect for formal living room and library applications. Color Change Ipe's color is mostly unaffected by exposure to light. Janka Hardness 3,680 lbs. per square inch Finishes Prefinished — Product features a specially formulated UV cured aluminum oxide finish that allows the wood's natural beauty to shine through and may be sanded and refinished. Unfinished — Ipe's unusual chemical makeup contains alkalines that
can react adversely to oil based finishing products, resulting in extensive
drying times. As a result, use only water based finishes, and thoroughly
test all finishing products on sample strips before applying to site floor. |
