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).
Our aluminium decking is built to last and designed with sustainability in mind, fully recyclable at the end of its lifespan to promote a circular economy. Through advanced engineering, we reduce material usage by up to 25%, helping lower the carbon footprint without sacrificing performance.

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 three beautiful matt-finish colours, our Dura Deck Aluminium products (Patent No. GB 2584725) feature a double-skin, anti-slip surface with a seamless soffit finish. Independently tested by a UKAS-accredited body, these A2 fire-rated planks deliver outstanding performance and compliance.
