A purpose-built deck building solution, a 4′ x 6″ tile deck tray can be installed on top of Evolution steel deck joists. This creates a smooth and flat surface that makes the process of installing tile pavers, or a creative combination of tiles and deck boards, quick and easy. The versatile steel tray works with any exterior tile and other framing materials, including wood. In turn, contractors are empowered to offer homeowners different design options and build a statement-making outdoor space that stands out in the neighborhood.
The design of the new Fortress® steel component provides fall-through protection and proper water drainage while creating an even surface for tile installations. Most importantly, it leverages the proven performance of steel. The durable tile deck tray will not rot, warp, split or deteriorate after long-term exposure to moisture, ensuring a structurally sound deck that lasts. In application, the steel tray will lay flat and stay flat. Noncombustible steel is also a Class A fire-rated building material, which means contractors who use the tile deck tray can complete fire-safe projects in regions that are prone to wildfires (including WUI zones) or densely populated urban areas where fire can spread rapidly between structures. Like the Evolution steel deck framing system it’s designed to complement, the new tile deck tray is backed by a 25-year limited manufacturer warranty for ultimate peace of mind.
“Fortress Building Products is committed to driving the adoption and usage of stronger, smarter deck building methods and products,” Jeff Schulz, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Fortress Building Products said. “Adding the Evolution Tile Deck Tray to our line-up of steel solutions is one more way we’re putting that commitment into action. It’s a versatile product that helps contractors work more efficiently and effectively to deliver a longer-lasting outdoor space that brings their clients’ creative design vision to life.”
