Aluminium decking fire-safe replacement for flammable composite balcony decking

There’s nothing we like more than seeing our products installed and as we continue to grow our order book with new customers every week, there’s a steady stream of photos of completed projects hitting our inbox.

A great example is this recent installation to a low-rise block of flats in High Wycombe. With flammable composite decking on the balconies, the building owner was keen to find a non-combustible alternative and our aluminium decking system was just the ticket!

Opting for our 20mm Junior Flat Board and 50mm Low Joist, the existing steel framework provided a perfect foundation for our system to be fitted to. Balcony decking is often one of the simplest remediation tasks that building owners can be faced with. This project is a great case in point; the non-compliant decking was simply removed from the steel framework and our decking system went straight in. We are seeing a huge number of retrofit enquiries now that EWS1 has had its impact, nearly all of which, happily, are as straightforward as this one.

This installation was carried out by Alu-Installations, one of the first companies to gain AliDeck Approved Installer status in 2019. Alu-Installations are a great example of the kind of installer that we are happy to recommend to our customers, holding a deep knowledge and understanding of all of our products and able to deliver great installs every time.

The AliDeck Balcony Drainage System was specified for the balconies on this project to obtain positive drainage to a specified outlet. Drainage on balconies is becoming a bigger concern for designers and specifiers so it’s a real boon that we have such an easily integrated option available.
