Fire safety and porcelain decking: What you need to know

When it comes to outdoor spaces, especially rooftop terraces and balconies, fire safety is a critical concern. Porcelain decking has emerged as a top choice for those seeking both aesthetic appeal and superior fire resistance.

Here's what you need to know about fire safety and porcelain decking.

Why porcelain decking excels in fire safety

Porcelain decking stands out for its exceptional fire-resistant properties. Unlike traditional wooden decking, porcelain decking boards are non-combustible and do not contribute to the spread of flames.

This makes them an ideal choice for areas where fire safety is paramount, such as high-rise buildings, commercial spaces, and residential rooftops.

Raaft® 's fire-safe rooftop solutions

Raaft® 's innovative modular terrace system incorporates fire-resistant porcelain decking as a key component of its design. The Farrino® Porcelain Decking offered by Raaft® is not only aesthetically pleasing but also meet stringent fire safety standards.

This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from luxury apartment buildings to student accommodations.

Porcelain decking’s compliance with building regulations

One of the most important aspects of fire safety is compliance with building regulations. Raaft® 's porcelain decking system is designed to meet all UK building regulations and fire safety reviews.

This ensures that architects, developers, and property owners can confidently install these systems knowing they are adhering to the highest safety standards.
