Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a deck ember-resistant?
An ember-resistant deck uses non-combustible or ignition-resistant materials and ember-blocking design details to prevent embers from igniting deck surfaces or substructures.

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

Can my existing deck be upgraded for ember protection?
Absolutely. We offer deck resurfacing and rebuilds that bring older decks up to modern ember- and fire-resistant standards.
