Ipe Solid Wood Flooring

Ipe, also known as Lapacho or Brazilian Walnut, is an extremely dense and durable tropical hardwood from Central and South America. It is renowned for its exceptional strength, rich dark tones, and outstanding resistance to wear.

This flooring is made from 100% solid wood, ensuring maximum durability, long lifespan, and the ability to refinish the surface multiple times.

The Select grade provides a clean and uniform appearance with minimal defects, resulting in a refined and elegant look.

The smooth, unfinished surface allows you to choose your preferred finish – oil, lacquer, or other treatments – adapting the flooring to your project requirements.

Ipe is one of the hardest commercial hardwoods, making it ideal for both residential and high-traffic commercial spaces.
