AliDeck Newsletter July 2022

FAO: AliDeck Customers and Friends

Hope you’re well and doing OK.

July has seen record temperature across the UK, the highest ever seen in many regions, so many UK leaseholders have turned to their outdoor living spaces to enjoy the sunshine.

Red weather warnings were issued across the UK, though, and fire services across the country were under extreme pressure as they responded to many buildings and wildfires nationwide. While the weather has been lovely, the risks posed have been clear and have underlined the necessity to embrace fire safety in all we do.

As a trail-blazing innovator of non-combustible materials, AliDeck looks to help our customers bring safe, compliant, future-proof balconies to the market. Amidst the ongoing Building Safety Crisis, there is no better time to achieve project success together.

If you’d like to talk about any of your upcoming projects and your decking and balcony component system requirements, please call us on 01622 235 672 or email info@alideck.co.uk.
