Waterproof roof decks are an essential feature of any urban property. Not only do they provide a beautiful and functional outdoor space, but they also help protect your home from the elements. 

But which paving products are the best option for waterproof roof decks? Here are three of the best materials on the market for creating the ultimate waterproof roof deck for your home or business:

Wood Deck Tiles

Wood deck tiles are an incredibly popular choice for rooftop applications since their rustic feel works well with any outdoor oasis. They’re perfect for blending your home or business with the surrounding landscape, and they can complement modern or traditional landscaping.

Aside from their design versatility, they’re also an incredibly low-maintenance option that can withstand a wide range of weather patterns. Ipe wood is estimated to be five times harder than any other wood and almost twice as dense. This means that they’re one of the most naturally resistant materials to rot, abrasion and wet weather. 

Their closed-grain cell structure prevents moisture from penetrating the wood, and our engineered wood deck tiles exceed the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for friction in a wet environment. This makes our ipe wood deck tiles one of the best and most water-resistant natural hardwood paving tiles on the market for rooftop applications.

Outdoor Porcelain Pavers

If you want the most durable and waterproof material possible for your paver roof deck, porcelain paving tiles are the No. 1 choice. Porcelain deck pavers are made from a high-density clay mixture that is highly durable and weather-resistant. They’re also completely nonporous, making them slip-resistant and stain-resistant.

In addition to being highly waterproof and functional, porcelain paving tiles also come in hundreds of colors and styles, even some that replicate the appearance of other hardscaping materials such as stone and wood. Combined with our roof pedestals, they’re incredibly easy to install and will help you achieve a high-quality waterproof roof deck in just a matter of hours.

Rooftop Turf

If you want to add vibrant greenery to your rooftop oasis, roof turf offers a pop of color and natural beauty without the maintenance, installation difficulties or waterlogging commonly found in natural grass rooftops.

Synthetic grass has an ultra-efficient drainage system that allows it to flush away water at a rate of more than 30 inches per hour per square yard. This means that even during the heaviest rainstorms, you can rest assured that your rooftop won’t be flooded. Whereas natural grass can encourage water to pool, which may damage the building below, rooftop turf is already installed with a well-functioning drainage grid that makes it an ideal choice for waterproof roof deck projects.
