    Elevate Outdoor Spaces with Porcelain Decking from Wallbarn

    July 29th, 2025

    For those seeking an elegant, durable and fire-safe solution for outdoor living areas, porcelain decking from Wallbarn offers the perfect balance of performance and aesthetics. Designed to meet the needs of high-spec developments, balconies, roof terraces, podium decks and commercial outdoor areas, this cutting-edge system is redefining what’s possible with non-combustible decking.

    What Is Porcelain Decking?

    Wallbarn’s porcelain decking is a contemporary alternative to traditional timber or composite decking. Manufactured to replicate the warmth and texture of natural wood, the porcelain boards are non-combustible and require virtually no maintenance. This makes them an ideal choice for projects where fire safety and longevity are essential, especially in high-rise buildings and areas where compliance with Building Regulations is a critical consideration.

    The boards offer the look and feel of hardwood, with rich tones, detailed surface textures and grain patterns that mimic real timber – but without the fading, warping or splintering that can occur over time with wood-based products.

    Fire-Safe by Design

    One of the most compelling features of porcelain decking is its Class A fire rating. It complies fully with the latest fire safety regulations, making it suitable for use in high-rise developments, balconies, and any environment where fire resistance is paramount.

    The system is completely non-combustible, offering peace of mind to developers, contractors, and residents alike. Whether for residential or commercial applications, fire safety can no longer be an afterthought – and Wallbarn’s porcelain decking ensures your project is ahead of the curve.

    Aesthetic Excellence

    Despite its outstanding technical credentials, porcelain decking does not compromise on beauty. The boards are available in a range of colours and finishes that replicate natural timber, including rich browns, soft greys, and washed wood effects. Each board is engineered with precision to provide a consistent appearance across the surface, contributing to a clean and contemporary finish.

    The surface is also anti-slip, even when wet, making it ideal for outdoor areas where safety is just as important as style.

    Longevity and Durability

    Unlike wood or wood-plastic composite products, porcelain does not rot, absorb water, or fade under UV light. It is resistant to frost, algae, insects, and staining – providing a robust surface that stands up to the rigours of the British climate year-round.

    The strength and density of porcelain tiles mean they can handle high foot traffic and heavy furniture with ease, making them suitable for both domestic and commercial environments. They will retain their colour and structural integrity for years with minimal upkeep.

    Easy Installation with the Exadeck System

    Wallbarn’s porcelain decking is part of the Exadeck system, a specially designed substructure that allows for fast and secure installation. The system uses an aluminium rail framework combined with porcelain boards that are fixed using clip systems, providing excellent stability without the need for screws to be drilled through the boards themselves.

    This innovative system reduces installation time and provides clean lines with a hidden fixing method, resulting in a flawless finish. It also allows for easy access to the surface below, which is a major benefit in applications where services or drainage systems may need inspection or maintenance.

    Ideal for Podiums, Balconies and Terraces

    Porcelain decking is especially suited to raised decks, podium terraces, balconies and rooftop gardens. It can be installed over pedestals and supports that level the surface, improve drainage and avoid water pooling – all without the need for adhesives or permanent fixing to the underlying structure.

    This versatility allows designers and architects to create beautiful, functional spaces even in complex build environments where traditional decking would be unsuitable.

    Sustainability and Peace of Mind

    Porcelain is a sustainable material, manufactured using natural components such as clay and sand, and fired at extremely high temperatures. It is free from plastic and harmful chemicals, making it an environmentally responsible choice.

    In addition, the Exadeck system is built for longevity. Its modular design allows for individual components to be replaced if necessary, reducing waste and ensuring the product stays in service longer than many traditional decking options.

    Low Maintenance, High Impact

    Once installed, porcelain decking requires little more than occasional sweeping and cleaning with water. There is no need for sanding, sealing, oiling or staining – making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a low-maintenance, high-impact finish for their outdoor space.

    Its resistance to algae, moss and mildew also means that porcelain decking maintains its visual appeal throughout the year, even in shaded or damp areas.

    The Modern Standard for Premium Decking

    Wallbarn’s porcelain decking is a standout choice for anyone looking to combine architectural elegance with long-term performance and uncompromising fire safety. It’s the ultimate upgrade for rooftops, balconies, courtyards and terraces, offering a refined look that doesn’t come at the cost of durability or compliance.

    In a world where safety, longevity and appearance must work together, porcelain decking is rapidly becoming the standard for premium outdoor flooring solutions. With its class-leading credentials and stunning aesthetics, it’s easy to see why more and more architects and developers are turning to Wallbarn’s Exadeck porcelain system to deliver results that are as beautiful as they are resilient.
