Due to its lightweight design and ease of installation, Dura Deck Aluminium is perfect for hi-rise terraces and balcony applications. Its outstanding class A2fl-s1 fire rating and compliance with EU and UK government recommendations means it’s great for buildings over 11 metres in height. Our Aluminium Decking has a 30-year warranty covering material or manufacturing defects for your peace of mind, whilst the product boasts a minimum life expectancy of 60 years.
Our clever patented ranges can meet the needs of all project specifications and give developers and contractors the ultimate peace of mind for new and replacement balcony decking. Due to its lightweight design and hard-wearing composition, Dura Deck Aluminium is perfect for a range of applications. Specifically, its outstanding fire resistance and compliance with EU and UK government recommendations mean that it’s great for terraces and balconies on buildings over 11 metres in height. Even if fire safety is not a consideration, they offer a sleek, contemporary finish to any project.
Choose from A2 fire-rated aluminium decking with an in-built drainage channel built into the profile to enable positive drainage (Dura Deck Aluminium Positive-Drain), or a free draining system suitable for terraces or balconies less than 6sqm (Dura Deck Aluminium Free-Drain). Each aluminium board has a double skin with an anti-slip surface and uniform underside to provide an attractive in-built soffit detail. All Dura Deck Aluminium products are tested by a UKAS-accredited body.

Dura Deck Aluminium is part of our d² range of enhanced performance products.
Safety is ingrained in our products’ design. Leveraging our expertise in heavy-duty structural flooring for industry, we design our d² balcony decking around just 0.5% deflection or L/200 for a higher safety factor.
Even with our greater safety factor, our products outspan competitors’ aluminium decking by up to 75%, reaching spans of up to 1050mm compared to their typical 600mm spans.
We reduce carbon footprint while maintaining peak performance. Our advanced engineering enables intricate designs using up to 25% less material, complete with a colour-matched underside that means you don’t need to order additional products to complete your project, helping you meet your sustainability goals.
The tests you really need for maximum peace of mind. Tested in exactly the way you plan to use it, in every colour – from profile to paint. All supported by our unique rapid-install two-part substructure of fire-rated aluminium bearers and pedestals, allowing as little as a 6 minute install for an 8.7sqm balcony.
Available in 3 beautiful matt-finish colours, Anthracite, Cedar and Mist, each aluminium board has a double skin with an extensively tested anti-slip surface and uniform underside to provide an attractive in-built soffit detail.
Due to its lightweight design and hard-wearing composition, Dura Deck Aluminium is perfect for a range of applications. Specifically, its outstanding fire-resistance and compliance with EU and UK government recommendations mean that it’s great for terraces and balconies on buildings over 18 metres in height.
Even if fire safety is not a consideration, they offer a sleek, contemporary finish to any project. Furthermore, with a 60 year design life and 30 year warranty with low maintenance requirements, Dura Deck Aluminium is perfect for public spaces.
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.
The decking boards feature a ribbed surface to aid rainwater dispersal. 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). When Dura Deck® Aluminium decking is combined with aluminium Dura Bearers and Dura Pedestals, a fully Class A2 fire-rated flooring system can be achieved. The patent-pending, innovative tongue-and-groove design of Dura Deck Aluminium Positive-Drain features a double skin with an attractive grooved surface and a uniform underside to prevent water egress below the deck. With a 150mm visible face, Dura Deck Aluminium Positive-Drain offers an integrated drainage system, channelling water away from your structure to create a beautiful, low-maintenance deck and a usable, dry space below, whilst simultaneously creating an attractive integrated soffit detail.
The innovative Dura Deck Aluminium Free-Drain 18mm integrates seamlessly with our aluminium joist and pedestal system to meet even the lowest of build-up heights, and our proprietary fixing clip can be used to create a free draining balcony installation.
A lightweight profile means it is ideal for new builds as well as refurbishments where the fire ratings of existing 28mm timber decking are insufficient. The unique surface keeps cool in hot weather and has low slip potential in all directions.
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.
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.
Dura Deck Aluminium is part of the Dura Deck range. Our 30 year warranty covers material or manufacturing defects for your peace of mind, whilst the product boasts a minimum life expectancy of 60 years. As with all Dura Deck products, you must install the product according to our manufacturer recommendations to preserve your warranty.
Our A2 fire-rated Dura Pedestals and Dura Bearers can be easily combined to suit all project needs. With 7 different heights of pedestals and 3 different heights of bearers, our system provides the most economical substructure combination on the market. The Dura Aluminium System is suitable for use as a decking substructure on external balconies, terraces, gardens, industrial flooring and for use as cladding battens.
