AliClad range of balcony soffit cladding provides multiple solutions for undersides of balconies

The construction industry faces complex challenges when managing their projects following the urgent shift towards compliant and non-combustible materials following updated regulations and legislation post-Grenfell. Fortunately, aluminium products are proving to be a cost-effective and future-proof choice for new build and regeneration/remediation projects across the UK & Ireland.

Not to be confused with the cladding issues largely at fault for the Grenfell disaster, this type of cladding is used at the balcony underside. The aluminium nature of our AliClad range of Balcony Soffit Cladding provides a key role, though, in preventing the spread of fire across external walls.

Soffit Cladding in balcony design is used to close off the underside of the balcony decking boards. It can also play a role in the design functionality, including the support of wastewater management or creating an imperforate layer to limit fire spread.

The AliClad Soffit Cladding range consists of 3 different designs, each serving a unique function. As a trail-blazing innovator in high-quality aluminium products, we are constantly creating and reviewing new cost-effective designs that will further benefit our audiences project success.

AliClad Flow is our most popular option, designed to provide a water-management system for steel bolt-on or slide-on balconies to deliver fast and efficient removal of rainwater and other liquids. AliClad Lite is designed to provide a simple but elegant solution to conceal the balcony internals, while AliClad Decor is designed to provide striking design options to balcony manufacturers.

Specifiers, architects, balcony manufacturers, steel fabricators, main contractors, and more can benefit from the modular AliClad Balcony Soffit Cladding System. Throughout our relationship with our customers, we strive to make balcony projects successful by developing both the products we offer and the way we provide our services.
