Why Borneo Ironwood?
It is harder than Chengai wood.
Borneo Ironwood / Kayu Ulin
Borneo Ironwood is a large tropical hardwood tree that grows abundantly throughout Indonesia . Iron wood is prized for its durability, strength, and its natural resistance to decay, wet conditions, and insect infestation. Ironwood’s remarkable properties have already made it the top choice for commercial and residential decking. It is the wood used for decking on the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Manpower in Singapore and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Myanmar Ironwood is of lesser quality.
Given its well-established reputation as a premium decking material, Iron wood is an obvious choice for outdoor furniture. In addition to its strength, it has a beautiful dark color and a tight grain that gives it a very consistent coloring.
You may be wondering why Ironwood is not more widely used for outdoor furniture. The answer is simple – the wood is so hard that it can be difficult to machine into a finished product. We have solved this problem with advanced manufacturing techniques and we are proud to offer you our exceptional Iron wood outdoor furniture priced for a great value.
Physical Properties of Ipe
Hardness: The physical hardness of Ironwood is remarkable. The graph below shows the relative hardness of Ironwood along with several popular woods. The ratings are from the Janka test, commonly used to measure wood hardness. It is the number of pounds per square inch required to drive a small steel ball half its diameter into the surface of the wood. Ipe wood is more than 368% harder then Teak wood! And it is harder than Chengai wood.
——————————————————————–
Density: The first thing you will notice about our Iron wood decking is how heavy it is. In fact, Ironwood is the one of heaviest wood that is available for commercial usage. As you can see below, Ironwood is super-dense, as measured by the weight of the wood in pounds per cubic foot. Ironwood is 40% heavier than Teak wood.

Hi, how different is Ipe wood compared to palm wood in terms of durability, hardness & maintenance?
February 13, 2011 8:04 am
Ironwood and coconut wood are both durable and extremely hard timber. Ironwood is called ironwood, is becos it is as hard as iron.
while coconut wood, you have to buy from reliable supplier. as coconut wood comes in 3 different grade. soft wood. medium hard wood, and extreme hard wood.
It really depends on the wood and the price that you pay…
Maintainence wise, ironwood is easy to maintain, 1 coating of maintainence oil every 3 years will do the job.
while coconut wood will need more frequent maintainence as the wood has splinters that will splint quite easily if it is not coat
properly. Please note not all installer knows what are the best type of maintainence oil for coconut decking. and installation of
coconut timber decking, the installer must be knowledgeable about the characterastic of coconut decking.
