Screened Porch Flooring

Many homeowners today are choosing the durability and beauty of Ipe (pronounced E-pay) brazilian wood floors for their new screened porches and decks. Ipe has the durability of pressure treated lumber without the cupping, twisting and splintering. The color is also more rich and it is very similar to having hardwood floors outdoors!

Ipe requires an annual application of a UV protectant coating in order to maintain its beautiful appearance.
