Why Choose IPE and Porcelain Pavers for Fireproof Decking?

Our IPE Wood Pavers and Porcelain Pavers stand at the forefront of fireproof decking solutions, each bringing unique benefits to your urban outdoor space:

  • Class A Fire Rating: Both IPE Wood and Porcelain Pavers boast a Class A fire rating (ASTM E108-07a Spread of Flame), providing maximum safety against fire hazards in urban living environments.
  • Exceptional Durability: IPE Pavers, with a Janka Hardness Rating of 3680 LBS, and Porcelain Pavers, known for their strength and resistance to wear, offer long-lasting durability.
  • Eco-Friendly: Sourced from sustainable forests, IPE Pavers, and manufactured with eco-conscious processes, Porcelain Pavers contribute to the preservation of our planet’s resources.

IPE Wood Pavers: Natural Elegance with Yearly Care

IPE Wood Pavers bring the timeless beauty of natural wood to your outdoor spaces, available in sizes:

To maintain their color and finish, IPE Wood Pavers require annual treatment, making them a splendid choice for those who appreciate natural wood aesthetics and are willing to invest in its upkeep.
