Ensure Safety with AliDeck’s Slip-Resistant Aluminium Decking Boards – Balcony Solutions

At AliDeck, we are committed to providing our valued customers with the safest and highest quality decking solutions available. This dedication is evident in our rigorous testing of our aluminium decking boards for slip resistance, among many others, guaranteeing they meet the most stringent safety standards in both wet and dry conditions.

We have conducted comprehensive testing on our entire range of aluminium decking boards in accordance with BS 7976 part 2, employing a calibrated and certified portable Pendulum instrument. This thorough testing approach accurately simulates various scenarios that decking boards may encounter in real-world applications, ensuring their performance under diverse conditions.

The findings of our slip resistance testing are overwhelmingly positive. All AliDeck decking boards have attained a ‘Low Risk’ rating for slips in both wet and dry conditions. This translates to a significantly lower likelihood of slipping on an AliDeck surface compared to other decking materials, even when wet.

The secret to AliDeck’s exceptional slip resistance lies in its unique surface texture. We have meticulously engineered the surface of our aluminium decking boards to achieve a specific Macro and Micro Roughness (Rz) value. This value serves as a measure of the surface’s roughness, with a higher Rz value indicating a rougher surface, which generally translates to better slip resistance measured by Pendulum Test Value.

AliDeck’s aluminium decking boards have consistently scored a Pendulum Test Value greater than 35 in all conditions. firmly residing within the low Slip Risk rating category. This signifies that the surface is sufficiently rough to provide excellent grip, even when wet.
