Archatrak wood-look porcelain planks incorporate all the visual features that make natural wood decking so enchanting. Knots, dark and light streaks, random grain structure, pinholes, variable color and even a weathered appearance are faithfully reproduced in an exceptionally wide range of colors and styles, from pale bleached grey through dark chocolate browns.

Won’t burn, decay, stain, fade or warp
Our wood-look porcelain planks avoid all the problems with natural wood decking – no decay, no attacks by insects, no fading, no color change, no staining, no twisting or warping, no scuffing, no splinters and practically zero maintenance. And perhaps more importantly with rooftop installations in densely populated urban areas, they are totally fireproof.

Elevated Deck Installation
Constructing elevated rooftop decks or balcony flooring with porcelain planks is generally simpler than using natural wood planks. There’s no need for custom designed steel or wood support structures, no nails, screws or clips.  Although 16” wide planks can be efficiently laid over adjustable height pedestals, with 12” or 8” wide planks, it is generally preferable to use aluminum rails to support the planks, with the rails supported by adjustable height pedestals.  This system reduces the number of pedestals required. See here for further details.

On-Grade Landscaping
For on-grade applications, planks of any width can be used to create striking landscape designs, particularly when laid in grassed areas. They can also be laid on well compacted sand or gravel beds or mortar set over concrete.
