Ipé Roof Terrace Apartment
"Decking on the seventh floor"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★ 4,8/5
"For our apartment on the banks of the river, we needed a deck that could withstand the intense sun and wind on the seventh floor. After consulting Hardwood Discount, we chose Ipé decking with the hidden clip system. The result is truly stunning; the invisible fixings give the balcony a modern, sleek hotel feel. Despite the exposure to the elements, the boards remain perfectly straight. We love enjoying the river views every day from our high-end hardwood deck.This is the result after applying the second coat of oil. PS: It's really handy that the boards aren't too long – they click together easily and fit into the lift without any trouble."

"Finally a sleek terrace without gaps" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5.
I chose the Ipé boards with tongue and groove all around, and it was the best decision. The end-matched connection made it very easy to lay in a random pattern without the ends lifting. Everything clicks together beautifully, and because I ensured the joints always land on a joist, the terrace feels as solid as an indoor floor. Not a screw in sight!

"Minimal waste, maximum result" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5.
What a top-tier system. Because the boards interlock at the ends, I had almost zero waste. The offcut from one row became the start of the next. It takes some careful measuring to make sure the joint hits the joist perfectly, but once it's in place, nothing shifts. Ipé is incredibly hard, so pre-drilling is a must.
— Marc de J."Stunning outdoor parquet effect" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5.
Our deck looks like a luxury parquet floor. The tongue and groove on the short sides ensures the boards align perfectly. We laid them in a random pattern, and the clips are hidden neatly in the side grooves. Having the end joints resting firmly on the joists provides a very safe and stable feel when walking on it.
— Annelies T."Tough job, but absolutely worth it" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5.
Ipé is beautiful wood but very heavy. The click system on the ends works great for getting the boards perfectly straight. I set the joists at 40cm intervals so every end connection has full support. The random pattern result looks very natural and showcases the wood's colour variations perfectly.
— Robert-Jan K.Hardwood discount
Always ensure were the end of a board lands directly on a joist. This prevents the lines between the joints from shifting and keeps them straight over the long term. There is no need to use double clips at the joint; one clip on either side is sufficient. Feel free to choose your own laying pattern (random bond). Create a pattern when laying the decking boards; this will result in a well-thought-out design.
Ipe decking (General)
"Stunning result and surprisingly fast to install!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★ 4,7/5
"To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about laying a hardwood deck, but this clip system is a game-changer. No visible screws and the boards are automatically perfectly spaced. The Ipé timber is absolute top quality—perfectly straight with a beautiful deep colour. The deck looks incredibly sleek without any screw holes ruining the aesthetic. The extra cost for the click system is worth every penny!"

Title: "Architectural masterpiece in our garden"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5.
"For our new modern villa, we were looking for a terrace that radiates calm and luxury. These Ipé decking boards with hidden fixings met all our requirements. The boards are extremely stable and the wood feels incredibly solid. What I particularly like about this system is that the timber can move naturally without screws loosening or snapping. A long-term investment we are absolutely delighted with."

Title: "Best grade of Ipé I’ve seen in years"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★ 4,5/5.
"As a landscaper, I work with Ipé frequently, but the quality from Hardwood Discount is true FAS grade. Very little colour variation and practically no warped boards. The clip system is intuitive and easily saved me 30% in labour time compared to traditional screwing. A must-buy for anyone prioritising quality and a clean, high-end finish. Highly recommended."

Important for installation: * Always ensure the ends of the decking boards rest on the subframe. This prevents the joints from becoming loose and ensures that the lines of your decking remain clear in the long term. You do not need to use double clips here; one clip on each side is sufficient. Thanks to the click system, you can easily create your own laying pattern (random pattern).
* Tighten the screws in a single smooth motion and do not stop halfway. If you stop halfway, there is an increased risk of the screw breaking. Thanks to the special drill bit and the use of a good (impact) screwdriver, pre-drilling is not necessary; the screws can be screwed into the wood effortlessly.

Mancave a modern canopy
"The ultimate modern Lounge: Luxury outdoor living!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★ 4,2/5.
"For our new mancave, we were looking for a modern gazebo with a high-end feel. The combination of black tones and the natural colour of the Ipé hardwood is truly stunning. The slatted wall cladding creates a sophisticated effect, and the Ipé decking boards provide the perfect finishing touch. Outdoor living has finally started in style for us. These luxury gazebos are definitely worth the investment!"

Building a canopy with elegant black trusses is in a class of its own. The combination with the Ipé slats is perfect. Thank you for the photo and the lovely review.
Ipe decking (clips)
"Not a screw in sight—what a result!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I was initially torn between traditional screwing or this click system, but I’m so glad I chose the latter. The main advantage is that you don't see a single screw head in the beautiful Ipé timber. The clips automatically ensure the correct 5mm spacing, so your deck ends up perfectly straight without any measurement errors. It took me half the time I usually spend on pre-drilling and countersinking. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a clean, modern look."

Title: "Finally a system that handles the natural movement of Ipé"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★
"As a professional, I work with hardwood every day. Ipé is incredibly hard and can move significantly due to weather conditions. Many clip systems fail after a year, but these steel clips from Hardwood Discount are rock-solid. They give the board enough room to 'breathe' without the connection becoming loose. The FAS-quality of the timber combined with this system creates a deck that lasts for decades. My clients are particularly impressed by the 'hidden' finish."

Title: "Luxurious look and barefoot-friendly"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★
"We wanted a luxury wellness area by our pool, and these Ipé decking boards with the click system complete the picture perfectly. The biggest plus? Since there are no screws in the surface, there are no splinters around drill holes. This makes it perfectly safe to walk on barefoot, which is ideal with the kids. The wood has a beautiful, even colour. The only thing is that you have to align the first row very carefully, but after that, you just click the rest into place. Top quality!"

Important points for installing ipe decking
* The clips also act as spacers. These create a gap of approximately 8mm. Ensure that the clips fit snugly into the groove of the boards.
* Tighten the screws in one smooth motion and do not stop halfway. If you stop halfway, the risk of the screw breaking increases. Thanks to the special drill point and the use of a good (impact) screwdriver, pre-drilling is not necessary; the screws screw effortlessly into the wood.
