Aluminium Decking, Taunton, Somerset: Balcony Decking

The goal of this elevated balcony project in Taunton, was to make the addition of large balcony areas to the rear of two adjacent houses, with large steel frameworks to be designed to provide the balcony level to the first floor.

First of all, our Triple Bolt Channel was designed into the project to minimise the number of times the steelwork needed to be penetrated for bolts; using the Triple Bolt Channel avoids having to drill into steel for every single board, protecting the galvanisation and helping to ensure the longevity of the structure.

Our Drainage Channels were also specified to capture water between the boards and divert to a bespoke gutter at the balcony end. Doing this not only helps to carry water well away from the building to prevent damage or ingress but also helps to provide a much drier space directly beneath the balconies than if the boards were free-draining. With the steel frames being so high to the balcony level, the space beneath is a prime opportunity for covered storage or outdoors living, so it’s a win all round!

As you can see in these photographs, the decking installation went very well and the team at Unique Outdoors Living Group delivered the high standard that you would expect from an AliDeck Approved Installer. Unique are based in Poole, Dorset, but are able to cover the whole South West of England for new-build and refurbishment/retrofit projects of any scale.
