In the recent years, there has been a lot of awareness focussed on the need for improved fire safety products used on buildings, including balconies.
This has resulted in new regulations have been brought in that ban the use of combustible materials in external wall systems and balconies.
Our aluminium balcony decking system is manufactured from aluminium which makes it naturally fire resistant and non-combustible. When you compare previous popular decking materials such as timber, wood-polymer composite and GRP which are all flammable (timber particularly so) aluminium is the obvious choice. Our decking boards are class 1 or A2 fire rating (depending if you require the coating) and are non-combustible.
This fire-resistant balcony decking is light in weight, yet high in load-bearing capacity meaning it requires less supporting steelwork than heavier materials, thereby significantly reducing costs.
You will also save costs as the installation time is up to 50% quicker than other products on the market due to the quick-fit clip-in feature.
