Your Trusted IPE Wood Supplier
Nature’s Strong Hardwood
IPE Wood Built to Endure for Decades
IPE Wood, also known as Brazilian Walnut, is one of the hardest and most durable hardwoods in the world. Native to Central and South America, particularly Brazil, IPE (pronounced “ee-pay”) grows in tropical rainforests where the climate contributes to its incredible density and strength. The wood is renowned for its deep, rich brown color with occasional olive or reddish hues, along with a tight grain and smooth texture. Over time, it gracefully ages into a silver-grey patina if left untreated, making it ideal for both classic and contemporary designs. Its exceptional resistance to moisture, termites, rot, and fire places it in a class of its own when compared to other hardwoods.
At Kantilal & Sons, we proudly supply premium-grade IPE Wood that meets global standards of sustainability and quality. We source directly from certified forests to ensure environmental responsibility while maintaining the uncompromising strength and beauty IPE is known for. Whether you’re a contractor working on a luxury outdoor deck or an architect designing high-end façades or flooring, IPE wood delivers unmatched durability and a high-end finish that can withstand extreme weather and heavy foot traffic for decades.

Advantages
Myths vs. Facts
IPE wood may seem demanding, but it’s actually low-maintenance, naturally resistant to pests and decay, and exceptionally durable—making it an ideal choice for outdoor spaces that require strength and longevity.
Myth
- IPE Wood is too dense and difficult to work with
- Maintaining IPE Wood is time-consuming and costly
- IPE Wood harms the environment and is not a sustainable choice
Fact
- While IPE is very dense, it machines cleanly using carbide-tipped tools and proper techniques. It’s suitable for skilled woodworking and precision projects.

- Our IPE is responsibly harvested from certified forests that follow legal and sustainable forestry practices, making it an environmentally conscious hardwood.
To ensure longevity
Care Instructions for IPE Wood
IPE wood requires minimal maintenance. Clean it regularly with a soft brush or cloth, and treat it with a protective oil to maintain its rich color. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve its natural strength
Regular Cleaning
Use mild soap and water or a wood-safe cleaner to remove dust, dirt, and debris from the surface.
Sealing & Oiling
If you wish to maintain IPE’s rich brown color, apply a high-quality UV oil once a year; otherwise, it will age to a natural silver tone.
Preventing Cracks
Always pre-drill holes for screws or nails to prevent cracking or splitting due to the wood’s density.
Seal Cut Ends
Use a commercial end-sealer on exposed cuts to protect against moisture penetration and reduce the risk of splitting.
