Dura Deck® Aluminium Positive-Drain decking is engineered for superior performance and safety, making it the ideal choice for balconies and elevated spaces. Available in 18mm and 27mm thicknesses, its innovative patented profile (Patent No. GB 2 615 096) offers positive drainage, ensuring efficient water management by guiding rainwater to a gutter across areas exceeding 6m².
With a 150mm visible face, the Positive-Drain planks combine exceptional fire safety with modern functionality, achieving a Class A2 fl-s1 fire rating, essential for mid and high-rise buildings. The robust double-skin construction features an anti-slip surface for added safety and a smooth underside that creates an integrated, attractive soffit detail.
Our aluminium decking is designed for durability and sustainability, being 100% recyclable at the end of its life to support a circular economy. Advanced engineering reduces material use by up to 25%, lowering our carbon footprint without compromising performance.
When paired with Dura Bearers and Dura Pedestals, this system offers a fully Class A2 fire-rated, low-maintenance flooring solution. All Dura Deck Aluminium products are UKAS accredited, delivering reliable performance and peace of mind.
Compliant with EU and UK government recommendations, perfect for buildings over 11 metres in height.
Anti-slip tested, achieving low Pendulum Test Values (PTV) in both wet and dry conditions.
Efficient water management to gutters for areas over 6m² and reeded deck surface for rainwater dispersal.
