Stop the Burning -- Class A flame rated building solutions

Professionally tested decking support systems, GRATEDEX? and elePHOOT?, that are Class A flame rated to help limit the implications of wildfires and the effects on homeowners.

Outdoor Floor System?, a company specializing in engineered parts to enhance outdoor living design, tested their structural decking systems to rate its fire resistant performance. It is the goal of Outdoor Floor System? to continue to provide solutions for flame/ember resistant building design.

During the test GRATEDEX? and elePHOOT? samples were exposed to direct flame to see how they performed. They received a passing rating in the following areas when tested:
Effective net peak heat release of less than or equal to 25 kW/ft2
Absence of sustained flaming or glowing combustion of any kind at the conclusion of 40-minute observation period.
Absence of falling particles that are still burning when reaching the burner or floor.

The structural systems performed well during the test and are ASTM-E84 Class A flame rated and are flame resistant using the Cal Fire Standards. These systems support non-combustible porcelain or stone tiles that further the flame/ember resistant building design that is recommended by the California Chaparral Institute.
