Solid Ipe Parquet

Ipe, also known as Lapacho or Brazilian Walnut, is one of the hardest and most durable tropical hardwoods in the world. It is highly valued for its exceptional strength, density, and rich dark brown tones, ranging from olive-brown to deep chocolate shades.

This parquet is made from solid wood, ensuring a natural appearance, outstanding durability, and the ability to refinish the floor multiple times.

The Select grade provides a clean and uniform look with minimal defects, creating a refined and high-end appearance.

The unfinished surface allows you to choose your preferred finish – oil, lacquer, or other coatings – adapting the flooring to your specific project.

Ipe is particularly renowned for its extreme hardness, wear resistance, and natural durability, making it ideal for both residential and commercial environments.
