Excellent Ipe Deck

Check out this video of a beautiful ipe deck on the roof of a building in in Brooklyn Heights, NY. Y. A roof deck seems like a great way to take traffic watching to the next level. Imagine the fine parties they will throw on their beautiful new deck

This multi talented deck builder built a fine deck .The extra labor spent on the paneling of those vents was really worth the effort. They’ve turned an ugly gravel rooftop into a sophisticated outdoor entertainment space. This upscale addition is certain to pay for itself when this property is ever sold. Brooklyn heights may be a fairly hustle and bustle area during the day, but at night this area quiets down considerably and makes an excellent location for a summer evening dinner party or Barbecue.

About the Deck Boards:
Ipe deck boards were a great choice for this deck. While this situations doesn’t call for a lot of resistance to traffic, Ipe wood has it. More importantly for this application, Ipe Decking also has excellent resistance to snow. Standing snow in area that’s difficult to remove snow can be tough on deck boards. Moisture on the deck boards for an extended period can cause premature decay of the wood decking material. Remove the wood can be problematic as well because the shovel can damage the wood (and not many people want to have to shovel their deck when it snows). The good news is that Ipe wood is super dense and thus very resistant to decay. In normal situations ipe decking material can last over 40 years with no staining, sealing, painting, etc. at all. If you want to apply Ipe Oil™ you can expect over 100 years from an ipe deck. Sure, ipe deck boards cost more initially, but they last 10 times as long as cheaper ones and thus don’t have to be replaced by professionals like the ones that built this fine roof deck.

It was crafted by Urban Exteriors in New York. Did you see their intro? Looks like they’re out there risking it all to make decks huh?
