  1. Ipe Decking: A Greener Alternative to Dangerous Composites As the world becomes increasingly conscientious of environmental issues, many homeowners are looking for greener alternatives to traditional building materials. From bamboo flooring to solar panels, there are now more options than ever for eco-friendly home improvement. Brazilian Ipe decking is one of the most popular eco-friendly alternatives to traditional composite decking. Ipe is a type of tropical hardwood that is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects. Not only is it stable and durable—it is also low maintenance and easy to clean. Add that to the fact that it is one of the most beautiful woods available for decking, and it is no wonder that so many homeowners are choosing Ipe instead of composite. Where does Ipe come from? Ipe decking comes from a species of tree native to Central and South America known as Tabebuia. It is world-renowned for its strength and durability, making it an ideal decking material. Ipe is so tough that it is used often in construction projects such as boardwalks, docks, and even bridges. Are they really that much better than composites? While the jury is still out on which material is better for decking—Ipe or composite— there is clearly one advantage that Ipe has over composites. And that is its eco- friendliness. Composite decking is composed of a blend of wood pulp and plastic. Thus it is not biodegradable, and it'll end up in landfills for hundreds of years, adding to the plastic pollution problem in the world. Ipe decking, on the other hand, is 100% natural. No chemicals, no plastics. It is ideal for repurposing and is completely biodegradable. When your deck does finally reach the end of its lifespan, you can rest assured knowing that it won't be adding to the waste problem. In conclusion, Brazilian Ipe decking is an excellent alternative to composite decking for those looking for an eco-friendlier option. It is just as durable and low maintenance as composite, but its natural composition makes it much more sustainable. So if you're looking for a green alternative to composite decking, Brazilian Ipe decking is the way to go! Make sure to order it from a reputable retailer that specializes in Brazilian hardwood.
