Ipê Prime KD French system decking board 21 × 144 mm tongue & groove

Ipê Prime KD French-profile system decking – 21 × 144 mm decking board with tongue & groove

With its warm brown tone, vibrant grain, and French-profiled surface, this Ipê decking board gives your patio a striking and high-quality appearance. The distinct longitudinal profile structures the area and creates a varied look without overshadowing the natural effect of the wood.

The French profile emphasizes the laying direction and effectively showcases the natural color nuances of the Ipê wood. Without pigmented care, the natural brown tone will gradually change to a silver-grey patina due to sun and weathering.

Hard and durable

Ipê decking boards are characterized by their high hardness and natural durability. The wood is classified as Durability Class 1–2 and, when installed correctly, is suitable for long-term patio use.

• High surface hardness: With a Brinell hardness of 48–60 N/mm², Ipê is resistant to mechanical stress.
• Kiln-dried: Our professional technical drying to approximately 16–18% wood moisture reduces the risk of significant deformation after installation. However, due to changing weather conditions outdoors, natural dimensional changes and cracking can never be completely ruled out.

Installation instructions

For a consistently good result, a professional substructure, sufficient rear ventilation, and unobstructed water drainage are particularly important.

• Gap spacing: For patios directly exposed to the weather, a gap of 7 mm should generally be provided. For areas not directly exposed to the weather, the spacing can be reduced to at least 4 mm.
• Tools and fastening: Due to the high hardness of Ipê, ensure the use of suitable tools. We generally recommend pre-drilling and countersinking the screw holes.

Further information on the substrate, substructure, fastening, gap spacing, and maintenance can be found in our installation tips for wooden decking.
