The AliDeck aluminium decking boards are 50% quicker to install compared to other decking systems on the market. This is because you only need to install the AliDeck Joists or support system up to every 1000mm on a 2.0kN loading in accordance with BS8579:2020.

The boards are constructed completely from 100% aluminium (6063 T6 grade), up to 67% of which has been recycled to make these boards eco-friendly and much better for the environment.

Due to the fact that AliDeck is aluminium and finished using the 7 stage Qualicoat system, little or no maintenance is required. General grime can be removed simply with a damp, lint free cloth or mop with warm soapy water.

The decking is supplied with a 30 year warranty against splitting, cracking, warping, splintering, rotting, twisting and material or manufacturing defects. It has a minimum 60 year life expectancy.

The planks are coloured using the Qualicoat powder coating finish. Qualicoat is a quality label organisation committed to maintaining and promoting the quality of coating on aluminium and its alloys for architectural applications.

AliDeck Boards and Joists are available in our full range of standard colours. Please refer to our Standard Colour Range datasheet for colour options (available at www.alideck.co.uk/ downloads). Non-standard colours are available on request as special orders, but may affect cost and lead-time.
The Joists can be supplied non-coated/mill finish to achieve A1 fire rating.
