How It Works
Two layers of fibrous board made from flame-proof basalt, which is a volcanic rock, block and disperse the heat. No matter how hot it gets under your fire pit, the temperature under the DeckProtect will not reach a level that could harm your deck or patio.
The frame holding the basalt board is made from heavy-duty aluminum which is completely weather-proof.
Hard rubber feet raise the frame above the surface to allow for air flow and ensure that your deck or patio will not become stained from trapped moisture.
The vinyl or polyethylene shell surface of composite decking starts to degrade and melt at temperatures between 250 degrees F and 350 degrees F. It can soften at temperatures as low as 176 degrees Fahrenheit.
