EXOTICS UNDERFOOT Ipé decking tiles are easily installed with the I-Connect system, which lets the tiles float over existing concrete, wood, or other surfaces. Installed as a patio, walkway, landscape feature, or rooftop deck, the stunning tiles offer rich dark brown and olive tones that can be maintained with a penetrating wood sealer, or allowed to patina to a silvery gray. The exotic hardwood is naturally resistant to rot and decay and offers the durability of teak at a fraction of the price, the maker says.
