What We Build | Hardwood Decks in Kansas City

With periodic oiling, an Ipe porch or deck can last well beyond 50 years.

One of the benefits of Ipe hardwood, is that if homeowners choose not to perform periodic oiling or finishing, it still has a lifespan of 25 to 50 years. Archadeck of Kansas City has many years’ experience in designing and building custom Ipe outdoor living spaces, to include screened porches, open porches, and decks. We pride ourselves on providing products that will last our clients for many years, requiring little to no maintenance. Ipe is a vehicle by which we can offer such outdoor spaces – ones that have you enjoying your backyard, rather than working in it.

Ipe screened porch designs are gaining popularity – for good reason!

Adding Ipe flooring to your screened porch design will add warmth with its rich color variations. Ipe colors range from reddish, blackish, and golden browns. Oiling this gorgeous hardwood will give a more saturated color palette to your screened porch. Notice how the Ipe flooring in the screened porch below anchors the otherwise bright and airy space, adding rich colors, but not making the space dark or gloomy. Ipe is also a great choice for outdoor living areas with fireplaces, as it is naturally fire-resistant!

Ipe is a very fine texture hardwood, with little or no knots or blemishes that would otherwise create weak points in its composition, and has little probability of splitting and splintering.
