We wondered about how well a Class A rated deck system would do against a non rated Tufflex Rubber Deck System in a head to head BBQ contest. No I didn’t BBQ the decks with BBQ sauce, I used Mesquite coals though and “spilled” them accidentally on a couple samples. This video demonstrates why selecting the best coatings over the cheapest is always a better option.

This also demonstrates why a Class A system will help harden your home against embers from a wild fire. Embers on the Desert Crete deck won’t ignite where on a wood deck they probably would.
