Climate is the main factor that will contribute to an unpleasant look. If not protected properly wood surfaces will change color.

Most of the time Ipe decks are not coated properly from the outset.

Sanding is the most important step in our Ipe deck refinishing process. The sanding process is usually performed much like finish sanding of a fine piece of furniture. We are not here to take off many layers of wood. It is not needed. The technique is simply to remove the extremely thin layer of damaged and unkept wood surfaces and to open the grain.

Dust and debris will be washed clean with a brightening agent. Deck wood brightener is a wonderful tool to promote a clean and beautiful like new appearance by bleaching the wood. This step is wonderful because not only does it enhance a beautiful clean look but it also remove contaminants .

The best protective coatings for Ipe wood decks are penetrating oil finishes. These types of coatings actually impregnate and embed themselves into the wood fibers. They are designed to penetrate into the rock hard surface of the Ipe. Penetrating oil finishes are the best protection for these surfaces because it looks natural.   The wood will look rich and vibrant when we originally protect it because of the oil base sealer. Over time these types of finishes are meant to gradually dissipate and dissolve and fade back to bare wood. The time for the coating to wear off will depend on weathering factors and patterns in your area such as direct sun exposure.
