If you’re considering a new deck and find your house zoned to the highest bushfire rating, don’t despair! Outside Concepts can provide a beautiful and functional steel-frame and tile deck to comply with the Australian Standards for Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas and your local council requirements.

Steel-framed tiled deck in Blue Mountains

Your tiled deck will not only add functional living space but being maintenance free you’ll have more time to enjoy it! There are a host of other advantages in having a steel and tiled deck – they are easy to clean, serviceable and long lasting. Galvanised steel is rust resistant, impervious to pest or termite damage and in many situations will withstand bushfire attack. Costs are comparable to hardwood decking given the range of economical tiles available on the market.

So don’t wait, call us now and have an experienced franchise owner come to your home to discuss your specific needs.
