BRAZILIAN HARDWOOD
Benefits of the Brazilian Hardwood when harvested sustainably.
Terrain only chooses sustainably harvest sources (“FSC-certified wood”). The trees to be harvested are chosen individually by the supplier under government supervision, based on the number of trees in a given area. Replacing these trees with new healthy seedlings provides the necessary sun exposure for healthy new growth.

Ipe
Ipe is a Brazilian Hardwood that makes not only a beautiful hardwood deck for you and your family to enjoy for years to come but is low maintenance as well. Ipe has natural attributes to defeat many of the plagues that deck owners fear most: insects, rots, fire, and the effects of inclement weather. Ipe Hardwood can be used for many applications due to the fact that it comes in various sizes and lengths and has been the choice of top designers and upscale builders.
