Key Benefits

Safe and Cost Effective

Dura Deck Aluminium has been developed in conjunction with leading developers, contractors and balcony manufacturers. It provides a safe and cost-effective decking solution for balconies and high-rise terraces, and for any project that requires an A2 fire rating.

Suited to Off-Site Manufacturing Techniques

Spanning up to 1050mm between supports on a 5kN distributed load, the decking boards feature a grooved surface to aid rainwater dispersal and are particularly suited for use with ‘slide-on‘ cassette balconies. The majority of the decking boards can be installed during off-site manufacture, with the remaining boards sliding in as the balcony is lifted into place, improving the speed, quality and safety of the decking installation process, and reducing labour costs on-site.

Positive-Drain

Our positive draining deck board range meet the requirement for positive drainage, particularly on balconies. Water is guided to a gutter with a floor area of over 6m2 through the clever patented design of our decking board profiles (Patent No. GB 2 615 096).

Fire Tested to the Correct Methodology

Achieving an A2fl-s1 Fire Rating, Dura Deck Aluminium’s fire testing has been conducted in conjunction with the correct flooring test and installation method on a horizontal plane, for absolute peace of mind.

Advanced Structural Performance

The lightweight nature of Dura Deck Aluminium reduces the structural load on buildings. The products have undergone stringent testing to guarantee their effectiveness and performance under both point load and crowd loading in accordance with relevant building codes. Our published data meets the requirements of the most recent 2.0kN point load @ 0.5% deflection (L/200) BS 6399-1:1996) standard, rather than the now obsolete 4kn criteria referenced by many others.

Warranty

The Dura Deck Aluminium range has a powder coated finish and comes with a 25 year warranty. Please refer to our supporting Technical Manual for full warranty conditions. You can activate your warranty within 30 day.
