Mbrico Tile Decks has been recognized by Qualified Remodeler as one of the 100 Most Popular Products of 2026, highlighting growing interest in reinforced porcelain decking as an alternative to traditional wood, composite, and PVC deck materials.

The annual Qualified Remodeler Remodelers Choice 100 identifies the building products that generated the strongest reader engagement on QualifiedRemodeler.com. The 2026 list was developed using product-page activity including clicks, pageviews, and other reader interactions between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026.

Mbrico was included among the 100 products that attracted the most attention from remodeling and construction professionals during that period.

Why Is Porcelain Decking Growing in Popularity?

For decades, exterior decks have primarily been built with wood, composite, or PVC materials. Reinforced porcelain decking introduces a different approach.

Mbrico combines the performance characteristics of porcelain with an engineered decking system designed for elevated decks, balconies, rooftops, patios, and other demanding exterior applications.

Unlike decorative tile installed over a conventional substrate, Mbrico is a complete reinforced porcelain decking system engineered specifically for outdoor use.

The system provides a durable walking surface that resists many of the issues associated with traditional decking materials, including fading, staining, moisture absorption, mold, and ongoing refinishing.

What Is a Reinforced Porcelain Deck System?

A reinforced porcelain deck system uses structural porcelain pavers together with engineered support components to create a finished outdoor walking surface.

Depending on the application, Mbrico can be installed using several system configurations, including:

• Joist Frame Systems for elevated decks
• Rooftop Pedestal Systems for flat roofs and amenity decks
• Low-Profile Ventilated Systems for installations requiring minimal build-up height

This allows porcelain to be used in applications where conventional exterior tile assemblies may not be appropriate.

The result is a decking surface that combines architectural design flexibility with the durability and long-term performance associated with porcelain.

An Alternative to Composite and PVC Decking

As homeowners, architects, builders, and remodelers evaluate exterior materials, performance over the life of the project is becoming increasingly important.

Composite and PVC decking remain common choices, but reinforced porcelain provides another option for projects where durability, heat performance, fire resistance, design flexibility, and reduced maintenance are priorities.

Mbrico porcelain decking is engineered to provide:

• A non-porous exterior surface
• Resistance to fading and staining
• High load-bearing performance
• Freeze-thaw durability
• Slip-resistant surface options
• Non-combustible material performance
• Ventilated deck and rooftop assemblies
• A wide range of stone, wood, and architectural finishes

Because the finished surface is porcelain, the appearance of the deck is not dependent on coatings, stains, sealers, or periodic refinishing.

Why Was Mbrico Included in the Remodelers Choice 100?

The Qualified Remodeler Remodelers Choice 100 is based on reader interest rather than a traditional judged awards process.

Products earning placement on the list generated some of the strongest engagement among products featured on QualifiedRemodeler.com during the evaluation period.

Mbrico’s inclusion reflects growing awareness among remodeling and construction professionals of porcelain decking systems for elevated decks, rooftop decks, balconies, and outdoor living spaces.

It also represents a broader shift in how the industry is thinking about decking.

The surface does not have to be wood.

It does not have to be composite.

It does not have to be PVC.

The future of decking can be porcelain.
