Safe & Secure Commercial Roof Decks
Archatrak porcelain pavers are a premium choice for commercial rooftop applications, offering superior durability, slip resistance, and wear performance. Because they are lighter and thinner than traditional concrete pavers, we provide a suite of specialized solutions to ensure maximum safety and compliance on any pedestal-supported deck.
-
Wind Uplift Mitigation: In areas exposed to strong winds, our engineered wind uplift systems lock pavers into a secure, interconnected grid to prevent displacement.
-
Impact Protection: For high-traffic environments such as rooftop bars, restaurants, and pool decks, our reinforcement systems help protect against damage from dropped or heavy objects.
-
Winter Safety: Our Heatizon electric snow melt system eliminates snow buildup and ice formation on elevated porcelain pavers, ensuring safe access year-round.
-
Fire-Resistant Systems: In fire-restricted zones like San Francisco, our Incendio steel pedestal system, combined with porcelain pavers, offers a fully non-combustible decking solution—ideal where wood decks are prohibited.
With Archatrak, commercial roof decks in San Francisco can meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and design flexibility.
