New AliDeck “Ultra” Balcony Kit brings huge savings to balcony manufacturers, with aluminium balustrade, soffit, and extra-wide decking boards

Construction in the UK has remained extremely buoyant across the turbulence of the last few years. As we continue to build upwards, with mid- and high-rise developments popping up all around the country, designers and specifiers are hunting for ever-more practical solutions to enhance their vision. In that vein, AliDeck are pleased to share a simple and quick-fit solution in the form of our new Ultra Balcony Kit.

The Ultra Balcony Kit is a new product offering, tailor-made for steel balcony manufacturers working on new-build projects across the UK & Ireland. The kit consists of our new AliDeck Ultra decking boards, AliClad Flow soffit-cladding, and AliRail Aluminium Balustrade System, supplied in kit-form to meet our customers specifications and enable quick and easy installation.

The use of the AliDeck Ultra Board to the balcony flooring, with its integral drainage channel, is a key upgrade and an innovative step forward. The Ultra Board delivers simple specification of a drained decking system, with only a drainage gutter being required to the board ends to capture the diverted water from the deck.

The extra-wide size of the Ultra Board, with a top surface width of 175mm, and the 60mm wide fixings channel in the centre of the board allows for lifting eyes to be inserted with all decking boards in-situ. It’s then a simple operation for the fully constructed balconies to be craned into position on site without leaving any decking boards missing. All that remains then is to simply add in the fixing channel cover clip.

With the drainage taken care of at the deck level, the AliClad Flow soffit cladding on the balcony is not needed to function as a water management system like it usually does. The use of AliClad Flow, installed to the steel frame underside laid level, seals the balcony, concealing the balcony structure from view for an attractive and aesthetic visual impact.

Our Balcony Kits have so far proven to be an extremely popular solution for many across the market, with a great level of interest being shown by our customers. Those already using our kits have shared positive feedback, while some architects are beginning to amend their designs to accommodate our modular balcony and modern balustrade kits.

The use of our balcony components such as aluminium balustrades, decking, and cladding can save 50% or more in total weight, which has caught the attention of specifiers across the country. The excellent cost savings when comparing aluminium to steel has also proved a key factor in the uptake of our modular balcony kits.

Here at AliDeck we’re always looking for new ways to support our customers. Our high-quality product design and trail-blazing innovations coupled with our first-rate service delivery continues to establish our reputation as the leading aluminium decking and balcony component manufacturer within the UK & Ireland, so you can be rest-assured your project success is in safe hands with AliDeck.
