We understand how critical it is to keep your family safe , which is why SAFETY FIRST is our motto . Ceramic decking minimises fire spread . You can have peace of mind when barbequing and using fire pits in your garden .
Slip resistance is another safety concern when it comes to decking . All types of decking undergo a slip resistance PTV test . When reading these test reports , check the barefoot and shoe pendulum rating . The higher the number , the higher the slip resistance . Look for a good slip rating of R11 or above , the equivalent to a PTV test result between 34-51 . Materials like ceramic , that are dense and non-porous , with minimal water absorption , are more slip resistant . The slip rating for Exadeck is R12 , at PTV 66 .
