The Ipe siding rainscreen system provides exceptional durability and performance together with its architectural beauty. Ipe stands as one of the most durable hardwoods because of its high density and strength which make it suitable for outdoor cladding use. Ipe siding installed as a rainscreen system improves the building envelope's visual appearance while providing better maintenance needs and building envelope durability.
The rainscreen system establishes a ventilated space which extends from the siding to the building's structural wall. The system protects against water damage through its ability to let moisture escape while permitting air movement which keeps the space dry and decreases mold and rot and structural harm. The high-performance façade combines Ipe's natural decay resistance with its protection against insects and severe weather conditions to create a system which withstands extreme environmental conditions.
Ipe wood presents a refined natural look through its warm brown base color which shows soft grain patterns. The material can be preserved through oil maintenance which maintains its original color or it can be left unprotected to develop an attractive silver-grey patina through natural weathering. The material's strength and dimensional stability make it suitable for application in both horizontal and vertical siding designs.
