Versatile Non-Combustible Decking Systems for Safer Outdoor Spaces

A Class A fire-rated decking system is a raised decking system manufactured from non-combustible materials that achieve the highest fire classification under BS EN 13501-1. At Alfresco Floors, our Exadeck porcelain and Zerodeck fibre cement decking systems are designed to help specifiers meet fire safety requirements without compromising on aesthetics or performance.

Non-combustible decking helps reduce fire risk while providing a durable, low-maintenance outdoor surface. It is particularly suited to roof terraces, balconies, podium decks and commercial developments where fire performance is a key consideration alongside longevity and design.
