Ipe Siding

Ipe siding is the best wood siding option available. Featured in many commercial and upscale residential projects, siding made of ipe has the same great durable characteristics of standard Ipe Decking. Buildings that use Ipe Siding will maintain their strength even in harshest environmental conditions.

When you compare Ipe wood siding to other artificial siding options, you’ll quickly see why ipe is a superior choice. Ipe is 100% natural, maintenance free, and does not have chemically produced additives. Unlike other siding options, ipe wood siding also easily resists termites, mold, and wood rot.

When you order ipe siding with Ipe Depot™, you're buying direct from the mill at a cost not found anywhere else. We have such great siding prices due to our direct relationships with hardwood exporters and the fact that we are the leading supplier of ipe wood in the United States.

Ipe Siding Installation

1. To protect from excess moisture apply a vapor barrier to the wall
2. Attach 3/4" furring strips spaced over 16" to the vapor barrier
3. Starting at the bottom start the installation of siding by pre-drilling holes above each furring strip with a 1/8" drill bit. If using Ipe Plugs use a 3/8" drill bit to make a hole for each wood plug to fit into.
4. To secure the bottom half of each board, drive a 3" stainless steel screw through the 1/8" pre-drilled hole.
5. Predrill with a 1/8" drill bit a hole through the narrow part of the siding that sticks out against the wall at the top of the board.
6. Next, drive a 3" stainless steel screw through the 1/8" pre-drilled hole. Do not worry about plugging this hole since the next board you install will cover this fastener.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 the above steps for the rest of the project.
