Porcelain's Heat-Resistant Properties
Mbrico's porcelain tiles are naturally heat-resistant, so they won’t warp, fade, or weaken when exposed to the heat or sun. This is essential for decks in hot and sunny climates where summer temperatures can rise. Certain colors of Mbrico tiles have a solar reflectance index between 60% and 80%, which means they absorb less heat and stay cooler to the touch compared to mainstream decking products.
Tested for temperatures as high as 140°F, Mbrico makes the deck more enjoyable and safer for activities during the warmer months. Mbrico stays cooler to the touch in direct sunlight compared to mainstream decking options like wood or composite. Mbrico is ideal for sunny locations like Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Texas, and other regions where heat absorption is a concern.
UV-Resistant and Color Retention
In hot climates, exposure to the sun's UV rays can cause fading and discoloration in many deck materials, but Mbrico’s porcelain tiles maintain their appeal, color, and finish. Your deck will continue to look beautiful year after year with no fear of cracking, fading, or warping, even with constant sun exposure.
Slip-Resistant Even When Hot
Safety is always a concern when it comes to outdoor decks, especially in regions with high humidity or pool areas. Mbrico's tiles are ADA-approved for slip-resistance, providing a safe surface in wet conditions. Mbrico is an excellent choice for decks around commerical and residential pools, patios, and other wet areas like docks or oceanside homes or businesses.
Sustainability in Hot Climates
Mbrico Tile Decks are not only built to withstand hot climates but are also eco-friendly. The materials used in Mbrico’s tiles are sustainably sourced, and the long lifespan of the tiles reduces the need for replacements, making Mbrico an eco-conscious choice for outdoor spaces in any climate.
For companies looking to meet certain standard, Mbrico is one of the most environmentally friendly products. Mbrico tiles are manufactured without the use of harmful chemicals, varnishes and resins. This ensures that Mbrico products will never release toxic gases, even when exposed to flames. Further, we ensure that each component is built to meet LEED standards, meaning you can earn up to 10 LEED credits for using Mbrico.
Aluminum Track Offers Stability in Heat
Mbrico's aluminum track provides extra stability in any climate, including hot regions. Our system prevents the deck from shifting, which can be a problem for other materials when exposed to extreme heat. The track ensures that the tiles remain secure, maintaining the deck’s structural integrity through the hottest months.

Our product is sustainable, long-lasting, heat and UV-resistant, low-maintenance, and comes with a lifetime warranty.
