IPE DECKING AT BRISTOL VALLEY
A sought-after surface material for the discerning deck owner is Ipe. Ipe is an extremely dense, tight-grained
wood that is eight times harder than California Redwood. Ipe has exceptional resistance to termite and
decay, generally available in a deep, rich brown with some pieces displaying amber and red hues, and with
little or no knots. Ipe is also fire-rated to NFPA Code, Class A UBC Code Class 1. Ipe is considered a high-
end building material, so expect to pay more than for other decking
products, but Bristol Valley Hardwoods is an online supplier that
works hard to keep pricing low for the homeowner. Bristol Valley
sells only 1st grade Ipe, perfect for decks, porches, docks, furniture,
fencing and more. The company’s turnaround from the time an order
is placed to the shipping is generally within five business days.
Bristol Valley Hardwoods warehouses Ipe decking and have devel-
oped a strong working relationship with several brokers in order to
have plenty of quality product on hand in a dry, protected environ-
ment. For more information, visit www.bristolvalley.com.
NEW COLORS IN GENOVA DECKING
Genovations Decking is manufactured from solid—not cellular—PVC, which installs with a tongue-and-groove design for
a comfortable, fastener-free but slip-resistant deck surface.
The decking will never fade, stain, scratch or mold, offering
a lifetime of durable performance. The decking features a
low-gloss surface that mimics natural wood grain in four
solid earth tone shades and three new variegated colors
(Chestnut, Walnut and Sandstone), which incorporate the
authentic color variations of natural wood into every board
without sacrificing performance. Also available is PVC railing,
providing an aesthetically complete surface and railing
system. The railing system features aluminum channels
that support the top and bottom rails with die-cast metal
brackets, providing superior strength and eliminating the
need for extra support brackets. Learn more at
