Trex decking
I've heard all sorts of things on this forum regarding decking materilas for rooftops, but from what I understand, wooden roof decks can only cover 20-33% of the roof.
If I used Trex, is this considered non-flammable? Could I got wall to wall? Is Trex signaficantly heavier than Ipe, for instance?
Comments
Trex is lighter than ipe (ipe is the heaviest wood there is), but it is still considered a combustible material and it is still subject to the same 20% requirement. - brooklyn architect.

so what would you recommend if you wanted to go larger than the 20-33%? i too am getting ready to start sourcing for a roof deck...
