Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a deck ember-resistant?
An ember-resistant deck uses non-combustible or ignition-resistant materials, proper spacing, and ember-blocking details to prevent fire spread from wind-blown embers.

Do ember-resistant decks still look like natural wood?
Yes. Modern composites and hardwoods like Trex Transcend® and Ipe replicate the warmth of natural wood while providing Class A fire ratings.

Can you retrofit my existing deck for ember resistance?
Absolutely. We can resurface or rebuild your current deck with ignition-resistant materials to meet modern fire safety standards.
