While beautiful and classic, wood decks can become a significant hazard during a fire — whether it’s a wildfire or an accidental grill fire. Dry wood could catch fire quickly, acting as a fuel source that accelerates the spread of flames to your home. This increases the risk of severe damage and makes it harder for firefighters to protect your property. A fire-resistant deck, on the other hand, provides an important layer of defense. Designed to withstand high heat and resist ignition, a deck made with fire-resistant decking, railing, and framing may slow a fire’s advance, helping protect your home and potentially buying precious time for emergency responders. It also brings peace of mind, knowing your outdoor space is built to be more resilient. There’s only one brand that offers a top-to-bottom, fire-resistant decking solution, and that’s TimberTech.
