Decks Made from Brazilian Woods such as Ipe are Sturdy, Long-Lasting and Beautiful

Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2013 -- One of the emerging trends with a residential deck today is the utilization of Brazilian hardwood, which provides an array of amazing benefits for homeowners. When compared head-to-head to more popular options such as composite decking, Brazilian decking with RealWood™ certification comes up as the winner on every front.

High quality Brazilian woods have amazing strength and durability. For example, Ipe wood decking carries a Janka hardness rating of 3,680, three to four times that of composite decking, and six times that of another popular choice, pine.

Ipe has a shear strength of 2,060, two to four times greater than composite decking, and a bending strength measured at 25,400 psi, an amazing five to 17 times greater than composite materials.

RealWood™ certified Brazilian decking lumber is also naturally resistant to rot, mold and insects. Ipe lumber and other Brazilian woods even come with the same Class A fire rating which concrete has.

Brazilian hardwoods also provide a natural beauty, with a range of vibrant and aesthetically pleasing colors, grains and textures. There's nothing quite like it, and whether it's the orange-tint of Tigerwood, the tan of Jatoba or the olive-brown of Ipe, there's something to match any home.

Not only are Brazilian hardwood decks affordable, but they provide a much lower cost of ownership over the years compared to composite materials. A deck made from hardwood lumber has vastly reduced needs for maintenance, providing lower costs for repairs, treatments and so forth.

Additionally, choosing something such as Ipe wood decking will provide a deck which lasts for a lifetime, standing up to the elements and conditions for four times as long as a composite deck, or more. This means it will literally never have to be replaced, paying for itself multiple times, while increasing a home's resale value as well.

A Brazilian wood deck is a true investment in quality and longevity which will continue to provide homeowners with benefits for decades. When compared head-to-head to composite decks, there simply isn't much of a comparison at all.

High Quality and Attractive Ipe Decks from Leading Brazilian Hardwoods Importer

Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/13/2013 -- Brazilian Wood Depot, a direct importer of Brazilian hardwoods for use in home decking, siding and other projects, provides the best ipe decking available on the market today, along with the experience and knowledge required to provide excellent design and planning services, tips and assistance.

Ipe decking is one of the hardest woods in the world, and it's a versatile, attractive solution for any outdoor deck. It's so durable that it even has a class A fire rating, the same as concrete. An Ipe deck will literally last for a lifetime, or about the time that standard pressure-treated pine decks would have been replaced four times.

Some homeowners may be scared off that such a high quality and beautiful wood would be prohibitively expensive. However, with careful planning and designing, homeowners looking at a new deck installation can quickly save as much as 20% on the price of their lumber without sacrificing any quality.

Brazilian Wood Depot has learned how to truly maximize the benefits of hardwood ipe lumber to provide these savings. For instance, the ends of ipe decking boards will not rot the way that pressure-treated decks do. This opens up a whole new world of attractive, unique and money-saving designs.

Now, short boards can be used and incorporated into the design itself, and since shorter boards are more prevalent, they are much more affordable. Doorways and entrances can be accented, innovative styles can be created, eased ends and eased edges can be utilized, and much more.

In addition to ipe decking, Brazilian Wood Depot also provides tigerwood, garapa, cumaru rosa, massaranduba, jatoba and purple heart decking. These will vary based upon color and other specifications, but what remains is the quality and commitment to the environment which Brazilian Wood Depot always puts first.

All of their wood is RealWood™ Certified, ensuring that all of the lumber imported and sold is logged according to the principles of responsible and sustainable forestry.

Winter is the Ideal Time to Plan a Decking Project

Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/02/2013 -- The holidays are over, but the season for decking is just beginning. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot for the best prices, selection and availability on decking lumber. Brazilian Wood Depot has a fantastic array of the highest quality imported Brazilian hardwoods which make for gorgeous and durable decks, and they know from firsthand experience that winter is when it's best to begin that long awaited deck project.

Many homeowners wait until the springtime to begin thinking about that new deck installation. Once the sun is shining, it's more tempting to want to be outside to relax, fire up the barbecue and enjoy the weather.

However, by putting it off, contractors get busier and will take longer to complete the job. By the time the deck is finished, some of the best months of the season will already have been lost.

Therefore, instead of missing out, homeowners can think proactively and act early, when wait times and project completion dates will be much swifter. As a result, your new ipe or cumaru wood deck will be in place for that very first shining day of warm weather in the spring.

That's not the only reason that wintertime is the ideal choice for when to begin a decking project either. All of the beautiful hardwoods which Brazilian Wood Depot imports, such as ipe, garapa, cumaru and more, are harvested in what amounts to North America's fall and winter months.

That's because South America's rainy season lasts from December through June. At this time, no new lumber is brought to the mills. Supplies dwindle, and prices are raised. Accordingly, from September through January is when the largest available selection will be present, and when the prices will be most affordable.

It might be cold outside, but the beautiful selection of hardwoods at Brazilian Wood Depot is scorching hot, with a gorgeous and high quality array of woods available for purchase, and amazing low pricing. Homeowners and businesses won't be disappointed in the natural beauty and durability of ipe decking and their other Brazilian hardwoods.

Brazilian Wood Depot offers the best pricing, convenient shipping and RealWood™ Certification on all of their woods. Call 770.242.0045 for specific prices and information, or visit BWDepot.com.
