Ipe Oil® 250 VOC and Ipe Oil® Plus™ 100 VOC Hardwood Deck Finishes by DeckWise® are premium oil-based, semi-transparent light-brown stains specifically formulated for exterior hardwood decks, fences, siding, and outdoor structures. Designed to penetrate even the densest hardwood species, both finishes provide exceptional absorption with minimal grain raising.
These advanced formulas nourish, protect, and condition hardwood surfaces while preserving their rich, natural appearance. Whether applied to a newly installed hardwood deck or as part of an ongoing maintenance program, Ipe Oil® and Ipe Oil® Plus™ enhance the natural beauty of any hardwood such as ipe, tigerwood, cumaru, and other exotic species, delivering long-lasting protection and vibrant color.
Despite its name, Ipe Oil® brands are not limited to ipe hardwood. It is specially formulated to protect, preserve, and enhance virtually any exterior exotic hardwood species, including thermally modified hardwoods, as well as domestic hardwoods like oak, ash, cedar, and redwood. Its deep-penetrating formula nourishes dense hardwood fibers, helping maintain the wood's natural beauty.
For hardwood projects exposed to intense sunlight, extreme weather, or challenging environmental conditions, Ipe Oil® Plus™ 100 VOC offers an added level of defense. Formulated to provide up to 15% longer-lasting performance in harsher climates. It delivers all the trusted benefits of the original formula while offering increased protection against seasonal weathering and UV degradation.
When incorporated into an annual maintenance routine, both finishes help reduce the effects of weathering by minimizing surface checking, splitting, warping, and cracking. They also help prevent premature graying, keeping hardwood surfaces looking richer and more vibrant for longer.
