NON-COMBUSTIBLE DECKING - protect your home from wild fires

Protect Your Home from Wildfires with DekTek Tiles Non-Combustible Concrete Deck Tiles

With wildfires becoming an increasing threat to homes in high-risk zones like California, it’s essential for homeowners to safeguard their properties and harden their homes with non-combustible building materials. DekTek Tile offers a luxury solution that not only enhances the beauty of your outdoor spaces but also helps protect your home from the devastating impact of wildfires. Our concrete deck tiles are designed to meet fire safety regulations, including those set by Cal Fire, FEMA, Wildfire Prepared Home Plus, and other agencies, to ensure the highest level of protection.

Why Non-Combustible Materials Matter

Non-combustible materials are critical for creating a fire-resistant home exterior, especially in wildfire-prone areas. Embers, the leading cause of wildfire spread, can travel miles from the fire source. Once they reach your home, any flammable materials like wood decks, composite decking, leaves, or mulch can ignite quickly, allowing the fire to spread.

DekTek Tiles are 100% non-combustible concrete deck tiles, making them an ideal choice for decks, patios, roof decks, and porches. Our outdoor tiles can significantly reduce the chances of your home catching fire from airborne embers, helping homeowners meet safety standards and maintain insurance coverage.

How DekTek Tiles Fit into the Home Ignition Zones

Wildfire experts have identified three critical zones around the perimeter of your home that need fire-resistant materials. Here's how DekTek Tile contributes to fire safety in each zone:

Zone 1: The Immediate Zone (0-5 feet)
This is the most critical zone. Keep the area within five feet of your home free from flammable materials. Replace wood decks and composite decks and patios with non-combustible concrete DekTek Tiles to minimize the risk of ember ignition. Also replace mulch with rock or other non-combustible material.
Zone 2: The Intermediate Zone (5-30 feet)-
In this area, FEMA and Cal Fire recommend maintaining a defensible space with reduced fuel sources. DekTek Tiles can be used for elevated deck, patios, porches, roof decks, and outdoor kitchens to ensure that embers don’t find a surface to ignite.
Zone 3: The Extended Zone (30-100 feet)
Here, the focus is on thinning out flammable vegetation. DekTek Tile surfaces can be integrated into pathways, firepits, and sitting areas to break up potential fire paths.

Complying with FEMA, Cal Fire, and Wildfire Safety Guidelines

According to FEMA, the materials used in your home and the surrounding area largely determine whether your property can withstand a wildfire. These agencies recommend using non-combustible materials like concrete for roofs, decks, patios, and the defensible space around your home.

FEMA Guidelines: FEMA suggests creating at least 30 feet of defensible space around your home. This zone should be clear of flammable materials such as wood & composite decking, dry vegetation, and instead, filled with non-combustible options like DekTek Tile.
Cal Fire Regulations: In California, where wildfires are frequent, Cal Fire emphasizes the importance of non-combustible materials in high-risk areas to prevent embers from igniting your home. DekTek Tiles are an excellent fit for homes located in these regions, offering approved fire protection similar to fire-resistant roofing.
Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS): CSFS promotes reducing your home’s ability to ignite by maintaining non-combustible materials around the structure. DekTek’s concrete tiles fit seamlessly within this recommendation, providing an extra layer of safety for decks, patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces.
