Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a deck ember-resistant?
Ember-resistant decks use non-combustible or ignition-resistant materials, along with design features like ember-blocking details and metal flashing, to prevent ignition.

Do ember-resistant decks still look like wood?
Yes. Advanced materials such as Trex Transcend®, TimberTech AZEK®, and Ipe hardwood replicate the look of real wood while providing superior fire protection.
