WHAT IS EXADECK?

EXADECK is raised flooring made from extruded porcelain decking tile boards. With an exclusive assembly system designed for quick and flexible laying for an easy-to-install porcelain tile deck without any specific tools.

EXADECK also offers the advantages of a floating floor system, allowing for individual tiles to be removed, making access to the area underneath very easy when needing to service pipes, wiring etc.

One of its most outstanding technical characteristics is its anti-slip properties, even when wet, as well as its mechanical and abrasion resistance.

With the natural look of wood, yet none of the constant and costly maintenance of real wood or other decking materials. Unlike aluminium decking, EXADECK will not scratch, leaving ugly marks and raw aluminium which will then oxidize.

EXADECK porcelain decking tiles have been launched onto the market with a range of styles inspired by wood in five tones (Ebony, Limed Oak, Grey, Natural Oak & Walnut). The modern styles ​fit perfectly with any space; combining aesthetics, resistance and durability with easy assembly and maintenance.

Extruded porcelain deckING Boards for Interior & Exterior

With all the technical and aesthetic properties of EXADECK porcelain tile decking, means it can be used in any outdoor or indoor space while guaranteeing durability, an ​​​unchanging appearance when exposed to UV light and unchnaging material strength over time. This deck floor tile is an extruded tile with strong anti-slip properties (R11) and excellent stain resistance, factors that make this a safe outdoor product that is ​easy-to-clean.

What are Vitrified Porcelain Decking Tile Boards?

Vitrified porcelain tile decking boards are a type of tile which is made from extremely pure kaolin clays and minerals such as quartz and feldspar. The decking board tiles are then fired at 1200 -1400 degrees Celsius, this makes them harder, extremely durable and gives them an extremely low water absorption rate of under 0.5%.

Different manufacturers call this type of material by a few different names, such as vitrified paving, porcelain paving, ceramic vitrified or vitrified porcelain, but these names all mean the same thing.  

What are the benefits of vitrified porcelain tile decking?

Vitrified porcelain tile decking boards are easy to work with on site. In the ​manufacturing process they are rectified which gives them crisp, cut edges that ensures each porcelain tile decking board is ​uniform in size and thickness. This means that the boards can be laid with slim joints of 3mm-5mm, which gives a paved area a sleek and contemporary look. There’s also no need to use a sealant as the pavers are already stain and mildew resistant.

Cleaning your ​Porcelain decking tiles?
Cleaning your porcelain tile decking boards is so easy and quick to do. ​Liquids spills (including sugary drinks, red wine), sticky oils (from food or BBQ's) and chemicals can be simply wiped away. To fully clean your paved area, simply cover the whole area with warm soapy water, this won't be absorbed due to the vitrified porcelain being water resistant, then simply rinse with clean water.

Solving Wind Uplift with EXADEck Porcelain Decking Tile Boards

What is wind uplift?
On balconies and rooftop locations, wind speeds can become very strong as air currents move around the structures. Even on ​relatively low wind speed days at ground level, wind speeds around a buildings at 5, 10, 20+ storeys high can increase very quickly.

When air flow passes over a flat surface, this creates pockets of low air pressure over the surface, because the air pressure underneath the flooring is higher, the decking surface will want to lift towards the low pressure area. This is the same principle behind aircraft wings that creates lift allowing the aircraft to fly.

On a balcony or rooftop deck, where the deck surface is loose-laid onto a substructure frame, this can result in the decking surface lifting from the substructure and becoming unstable or damaged. In more extreme winds, the flooring tiles can cause damage to surrounding areas and even be lifted clear off the building with the ​possibility of injury or damage below.

EXADECK has been specifically designed to securely hold the decking tiles in place, even in very high winds.

COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT

EXADECK understands sustainability as a key and essential factor within its production philosophy, as it uses natural raw materials and the waste generated in the different phases of the process is reused again, minimising the consumption of natural resources as well as the pollution generated in its production, distribution and transformation for use.

On the other hand, from the design phase, waste is eliminated and pollution is reduced, as EXADECK is a ceramic system designed to be disassembled in order to facilitate the separation of its components at the end of its life.
