IPe finished to enhance the decking & cladding
Pemaquid like the lighthouse on the Maine coast stands the test of time as a superior decking species. Ipe is the king of decking woods and in recent years has exploded into a cladding solution as well as a myriad of uses for the landscape architect looking to build outdoor living spaces. We have been sourcing Ipe for decades and feel confident in our sourcing model to provide top quality, sustainably sourced material all year around. We maintain a deep inventory of the species in a huge range of sizes for most applications. The deep rich color of Ipe is common but also is beautifully varied due to the wide growth range of the species. The grain tells a story with varied looks from one board to another and with change in grain from flat sawn to quarter sawn. As we started to finish more and more of the Ipe we shipped it became obvious we needed a finish solution that could unify the look a bit while still enhancing the variety and beautiy that defines the species. Pemaquid is our Ipe finished decking solution! It is a luxurious look and the class A fire rating only adds to the peace of mind of when incorporating it into your projects.

Standard Alpha Profiles for Decking & Cladding
For decking we use a standard S4S, E4E (surfaced 4 sides, eased on 4 edges) profile that can face screwed or grooved for hidden fastener install. But when used for cladding we have chosen a few additional profiles based on the popularity and performance for either vertical or horizontal cladding applications. Custom profiles are also available but may incur additional production time and cost. Feel free to browse our moulding profile database for many more options.
