Are the Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles save to use under barbeques?

Diamond Essence Ipe Decking Tile Barbeque

I’m not at all concerned with it being a fire hazard. Ipe has a Fire Rating: a Class A Fire Rating, the same rating given to concrete & steel. The National Fire Protection Code it was determined that it’s fire resistance level is the same as concrete…can’t get much better than that!

Ipe’s strong, tough, resilient properties make it an excellent material and an increasingly popular choice for commercial/residential decking for patios and balconies and outdoor furniture. It is prized for its stability, durability, strength, and natural resistance to deca in wet conditions.
 
The Ipe decking tiles is idea where durability and high shock resistance are needed, particularly for any project near a sea resort. Any other type of wood would rot away over time with the salt from the ocean, but ipe is incredibly resistant to the elements. It is also used in sauna and marina construction, seaside resorts, golf courses, and outdoor facilities, and even in roofing applications.

The Diamond Esencve Ipe decking tiles can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com
