Testing & Certification

A2 fire-rated materials are classified as non-combustible or of limited combustibility under BS EN 13501-1. For buildings above 11 metres in height, Approved Document B of the Building Regulations requires balcony decking and components to achieve A2-s1, d0 or better. This provides vital safety for residents and meets compliance obligations.

A2fl-s1 refers to the fire classification when a product is tested specifically as a flooring material.

A2-s1, d0 applies when tested as part of an external wall system (e.g. facades, balconies, soffits).

Our decking is tested to both methods, offering surety for a wide range of usage cases.

Yes. Our A2 fire-rated aluminium decking systems feature a double skin, an attractive anti-slip surface, and a uniform underside that creates a sleek, built-in soffit. Available fully finished in powder-coated colours, they provide both fire safety and visual appeal without requiring extra components that add cost to your project.

Absolutely. Our fire-rated aluminium decking is ideal for replacing combustible timber or composite balcony floors during refurbishments. Lightweight, easy to install, and compliant with modern regulations, it helps you upgrade safely.

Our products are rigorously tested at UKAS-accredited laboratories for compliance with BS EN 13501-1. Testing includes exposure to high temperatures and assessment of flame spread, smoke production (s1), and burning droplets (d0). The results are third-party certified, ensuring accuracy and credibility.

No. Our aluminium decking is lightweight yet strong, designed to reduce the need for additional supports. Its large spanning capability and up to 25% material saving help minimise structural loading while maximising safety and compliance — making it ideal for both new builds and refurbishments.

Aluminium decking is virtually maintenance-free. Unlike timber or composite alternatives, it doesn’t rot, warp, or degrade over time. The powder-coated finish maintains its appearance and performance, making it a low-maintenance, long-term solution for fire-safe balconies and terraces.

Yes. Our aluminium decking uses 25% less material thanks to its efficient structural design. It is 100% recyclable at end-of-life, contributes to reduced carbon impact, and supports compliance with both fire safety and sustainability targets in modern construction.

Definitely. Our technical team can provide Finite Element Analysis (FEA), live testing data, and loading assessments to validate designs — giving you confidence in material performance and compliance.

Absolutely. Our aluminium decking is lightweight yet structurally robust, making it perfect for refurbishments where additional structural load is a concern. The integrated soffit design also improves aesthetics without the need for extra components.
