Ipe Oil® & Ipe Oil® Plus™
Hardwood Deck & Siding Finish

Ipe Oil® and Ipe Oil® Plus™ Hardwood Deck Finishes are products of DeckWise®, The Ipe Clip® Fastener Company, LLC.

Homeowners make significant investments in their wood projects and expect them to retain their beauty for years. Ipe Oil® and Ipe Oil® Plus™ are high-performance, oil-based semi-transparent wood finishes that highlight the natural grain and beauty of decking and siding while providing strong and long-lasting protection. Neither formula will flake or peel, and yearly maintenance is fast and simple when paired with the DeckWise® Wood Cleaner and Wood Brightener.

Available in low-VOC formulas—250 g/l and 100 g/l options.


When properly sealed and maintained, wood decking, fences, and siding can last for decades. Ipe Oil® and Ipe Oil® Plus™ are trusted solutions for use on dense exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Red Balau, Tigerwood, Mahogany, and Cumaru. Both finishes are also perfect for use on thermally modified wood, making them a flexible choice for a range of hardwood and modified wood projects.

Ipe Oil® works differently from traditional wood stains, acrylics, or urethane wood coating products. Upon application, it begins to protect your wood from the damaging effects of moisture and significantly improves the dimensional stability of your wood. It helps to prevent splits, warps, and cracks while enhancing the natural wood grain, keeping the wood looking vibrant.

 

Low 100 g/l VOC Formula Available
SCAQMD (SoCal) 100 g/l VOC restrictions apply for LA-Eastern, LA-Western, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Ipe Oil® and Ipe Oil® Plus™ low 100 g/l VOC formulas are VOC emissions compliant in all contiguous US states including the California South Coast AQMD jurisdiction. For more info click here.

When deciding between Ipe Oil® and Ipe Oil® Plus™, consider the environment your project is exposed to. If your deck or siding is in a relatively mild climate, Ipe Oil® will provide more than enough protection. However, if your project is subjected to harsher weather conditions, such as extreme sun, rain, or snow, Ipe Oil® Plus™ offers that extra layer of defense, lasting up to 15% longer.

In addition to new builds, these finishes are also essential for ongoing care. A yearly maintenance program with either Ipe Oil® or Ipe Oil® Plus™ will preserve the vibrant look of your wood, ensuring it continues to resist weathering, UV damage, and other environmental stressors. Over time, even the most durable woods can begin to gray and lose their luster if not properly maintained. A thorough cleaning and fresh application of Ipe Oil® or Ipe Oil® Plus™ will revitalize the wood, nourishing it while reinforcing its resistance to moisture and wear.
