Use Iron Woods Ipe for exterior architectural millwork, decking, porch flooring, cladding, rail, posts, timbers, trim, pergolas and furniture. To maintain a rich walnut color, use a transparent penetrating oil-based sealer with UV inhibitors in a trans-oxide pigmented “tone” and reapply annually or as needed. If you prefer a silvery-gray appearance, use a clear oil-based sealer for the first coat and then simply let the wood weather to its natural gray color. Please follow local building code when installing railings.
