Sustainability
Sustainable Decking Starts with Materials That Don’t Fail
Sustainable decking isn’t defined by recycled content alone. The most environmentally responsible decking materials are those engineered to last for decades without replacement. Mbrico’s reinforced porcelain system delivers long-term durability, minimal maintenance, and reduced lifecycle waste, making it one of the most sustainable decking solutions available today.
Mbrico Tile Decks are not only inspired by nature; they are also designed to have as little impact on the environment as possible.

Built to a higher standard
We start with porcelain that is sustainably sourced and manufactured in America 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.
Built to last
Mbrico decks are designed to deliver long-term performance without the degradation seen in lumber, composite, or concrete systems. Engineered for durability in demanding environments, they are built to remain on your property, not in a landfill.

Lower Lifecycle Impact
True sustainability is measured by total impact over time, not just how a material is made.
From reduced maintenance requirements to long-term performance stability, Mbrico minimizes ongoing resource use, eliminates chemical treatments, and reduces long-term material consumption throughout the life of your deck.
The result is a porcelain system engineered to reduce environmental impact at every stage of ownership, from install through decades of use.
The most sustainable deck is the one you don’t have to replace.
