Easy to Install
Features a tongue-in-groove design that fixes together for fast, efficient installation.
Our boards don’t need cutting and have concealed screw fixings.
Our boards feature an innovative, patent-pending tongue-and-grove design, which ensures that they can be fitted quickly and easily, without the need for cutting. Each aluminium board also has a double skin with an eye-catching grooved surface and uniform underside to prevent water dripping below the deck. The in-built grooves make the decking surface slip resistant, improving overall safety and further cementing our Aluminium decking as an ideal choice for high rise balconies and building applications.
With a 150mm visible face, the fireproof decking board boasts an integrated gutter system, channelling water away from your structure to create a low maintenance deck with a useable, dry space below. Simultaneously, this creates an attractive integrated soffit detail. The grooved design offers a traditional plank-look surface that features the latest technology and can be installed rapidly – with no clips being required.

Anti-slip coating for increased safety
Our aluminium decking boards are coated in a unique paint formulation and is not available elsewhere. The paint coating – available in all three colours – is formulated with micro-grit, which makes the aluminium boards incredibly slip resistant in all weather conditions whilst maintaining a sleek finish. This makes our metal decking perfect for a range of high-rise applications, such as balconies and roof terraces, where safety is a primary factor for any installer.
The slip potential is 55 in the wet and 62 in the dry – the minimum requirement for ‘low slip potential’ is 36+ meaning that our deck boards far surpass the required standard and offer phenomenal slip resistance.

Improved loading capacities
Unlike traditional balcony materials, our aluminium decking boards can be easily fitted on top of a metal joist or a flat concrete base, both of which perfectly complement the fireproof decking qualities. If you opt to install our boards on joists, they can have up to 1 metre clear span, reducing the number of joists you need and saving money on your substructure.
What’s more, our metal decking boards are perfect for any retro-fitting projects, being quick and easy to install and offering a range of benefits that will improve the service life of your building. Our balcony decking has a 2 kN per metre point load, far in excess of what is required by the British Loading Standard.
