Why choose Raaft® porcelain decking for commercial roof terraces?

Raaft porcelain decking offers a premium, long-lasting solution for commercial roof terraces where aesthetics, durability and performance are critical. Designed for both functionality and elegance, our porcelain tiles are:

• Fade-resistant
• Slip-resistant

Unlike traditional decking materials, porcelain requires minimal maintenance and resists staining, scratching and thermal expansion.

With a range of colours and finishes, our Farrino porcelain decking elevates the visual appeal of any outdoor commercial terrace while meeting the demands of modern architecture and sustainability. 

Fire safety first: Class A and BRoof(t4) rated performance

Fire safety is a critical consideration for any commercial outdoor space, particularly rooftop terraces. Raaft’s porcelain decking is engineered with this priority in mind, offering exceptional fire resistance that meets the most stringent standards.

Classified as non-combustible with Class A1 or A2 fire rating under EN 13501-1, Raaft porcelain tiles will not ignite, produce smoke or contribute to the spread of flames.

 When installed as part of the complete Raaft system, it achieves the BRoof(t4) certification. This is the highest standard for fire performance on flat or sloped roofs in the UK.

This level of compliance is not just a regulatory requirement, it is a safeguard for occupants, property and peace of mind. In high-risk environments such as hotels, restaurants, apartment buildings or office terraces, using non-combustible materials dramatically reduces the potential for fire incidents and supports faster project approvals under building control.

Aesthetic flexibility: Styles, colours, and finishes

With Raaft, safety doesn’t come at the expense of your commercial roof terrace design. You get a sleek, contemporary porcelain finish that delivers outstanding performance and meets fire safety standards.

With a range of styles, colours and finishes available you have the creative freedom to achieve almost any visual effect on your commercial terrace. Available in:

• Neutral tones: Porcelain decking is available in a range of refined neutral shades. Including soft grey, warm taupe and beige. Offering a sophisticated, minimalist foundation that complements a wide variety of styles.
• Natural stone: Choose stone-effect porcelain tiles to capture the timeless beauty of natural stone while benefitting from the durability and fire-resistant properties of porcelain.
• Bold colour options: For a striking visual statement, consider deeper, more dramatic hues like rich charcoal. These bolder tones can add depth and contrast, elevating the overall impact of your design.

Low maintenance and long lifespan for commercial demands

Commercial terraces demand materials that can withstand heavy use and varying weather conditions without constant upkeep. Raaft porcelain decking is exceptionally hard-wearing. Resisting stains, scratching and water absorption. Its dense composition prevents warping, fading or cracking, even under extreme temperatures and exposure to UV rays.

This durability translates to lower long-term costs as the decking maintains its appearance and integrity with minimal upkeep. A simple routine clean is all that is needed to keep your terrace looking fresh all year round.

Easy installation with modular, non-combustible systems

The Raaft system has been engineered for speed, precision and safety during installation. Our modular, height adjustable pedestal and joist system provides a stable and level platform for porcelain tiles on any surface.

This system allows for rapid installation without the need for adhesives or grout. Enabling easy future access to your commercial terrace and reducing overall project timelines.

Sustainable and environmentally conscious terrace solutions

Sustainability is an important aspect of Raaft’s decking solution. The long lifespan of porcelain tiles means there is less need for frequent replacements. This not only reduces waste but minimises the need for new materials.

Porcelain is also a recyclable material. Making it an eco-friendly option for your commercial terrace.
