    d² Dura Quickspan®

    The World's Lowest Carbon Decking Components for Balcony Projects

    A2‑fire rated, low‑carbon aluminium components for safer, faster balcony delivery

    Balcony projects today demand more than compliant products. They require components that help fabricators, developers, architects and remedial teams deliver certainty — certainty in fire performance, programme, cost, and carbon. d² Dura Quickspan brings that confidence. It is a suite of A2‑rated, low‑carbon aluminium components designed to integrate seamlessly with steel balcony fabricators and support both new‑build and remediation projects with evidence-backed performance.

    The challenge: stricter safety, faster programmes, lower carbon. Across the industry, teams are being asked to deliver balconies that are:

    • Fully compliant with BS EN 13501-1 A2-s1,d0 and A2fl-s1 fire classifications.
    • Lighter, leaner, and easier to fabricate, ship and install.
    • Proven to reduce embodied carbon with independent EPD data.
    • Able to minimise or remove programme delays linked to interfaces, crane lifts or late-stage changes.

    d² Dura Quickspan exists to make these pressures easier to manage — not harder.

    d² Dura Quickspan Component Range

    Every component is designed to drop directly into your balcony design, fabrication process and installation sequence. Supported by UKAS fire test reports, Span and loading verification, Independently verified EPD, Slip-resistance data for wet & dry conditions, 10‑year warranty and 60‑year design life.

    d² Dura Quickspan Decking

    • A2-fire rated, classified to A2‑s1,d0 in UKAS‑accredited labs.
    • 18mm & 27mm Dual‑skin profile delivering spans up to 1300 mm; meaning fewer supports & lighter steel frames.
    • Centre‑fix hidden channel for clean lines and post‑crane installation, ideal for OSM and bolt‑on balconies.

    Stronger.

    Engineered performance that reduces cost and complexity.
    • The dual‑skin aluminium profile delivers clear spans of up to 1300 mm, backed by L/200 deflection testing.
    • Longer spans mean fewer steel bearers and pedestals, helping to – Reduce substructure steel, Lower total balcony weight, Cut fabrication and material costs.
    • Structural efficiency is achieved without compromising rigidity, safety, or lifespan.

    Greener.

    Carbon-engineered from the outset.
    • Manufactured using 68% recycled aluminium and 24% less material than many comparable systems.
