ROOF DECKS

An outdoor Roof Deck is a deck or patio created on a flat roof outside a building. As people become more aware of the importance of contact with nature, roof decks have become increasingly popular in urban areas, where green spaces are often few and far between.

An ideal solution for creating welcoming, functional outdoor spaces, locations for relaxation, well-being, and socializing that are increasingly central to daily life, in both private public and commercial contexts. One of the crucial factors when constructing a roof deck is the choice of pavers, which must combine specific technical characteristics with an attractive, stylish appearance. Porcelain pavers for roof decks are produced and designed to suit the taste and meet the performance and technical needs of the American market.

Various factors must be borne in mind when choosing a terrace or roof deck paving. In terms of looks, the product must blend into its surrounding context, ideally in continuity with the nearby materials and natural environment.

Another important consideration factor is the terrace’s intended use and the stress factors it will have to withstand.

Depending on these variables, tiles will have to provide specific essential technical characteristics, necessary to guarantee safety and well-being in their daily use. In general, the tiles chosen for a terrace must have the following properties:

Waterproof
Resistant to impacts and foot traffic
Able to withstand weights such as tables, seats, or flower tubs
Immune to time
Anti-slip and resistant to thermal shocks
Easy to clean with low care requirements
If possible, ensure continuity of appearance between outdoor paving and indoor floor

Have a low refraction index (light colors) to reduce the heat generated so the surface does not become burning hot. Our pavers guarantee high technical standards and are available in many sizes and a wide range of patterns in various wood, stone, and concrete looks.

The small gap between one slab and another allows a quick water drainage. It is easy to clean. (see cleaning and maintenance/installations guide)
Frost-proof, absorbs the thermal expansions of the concrete substrate, the direct cause of traditional outdoor flooring subsidence.
Less load bearing on rooftops and balconies as the last layer of concrete and adhesive is not necessary.
The gap between the slab and the concrete substrate fosters excellent thermal insulation.
Best acoustic insulation.
Easy to inspect hidden pipework.
Speed of installation.
