AliDeck: Complete Non-Combustible Solutions for Every Balcony
Balconies are a critical element of modern building design, demanding the highest standards of safety, compliance, durability, and aesthetics. AliDeck provides a comprehensive suite of 100% aluminium, non-combustible systems designed to meet every requirement for today’s balcony projects, from new builds to remediation.
Following recent building regulation changes, it is mandatory for all materials used in the external envelope of a building at height to be non-combustible. This is a major change for the industry and property owners to adapt to but wholly necessary in light of the tragedy at Grenfell Tower. The ramifications for balcony construction are clear. AliDeck offers fully compliant, integrated solutions to navigate these requirements with confidence.
Our systems are engineered to work together, providing architects, specifiers, developers, and contractors with a cohesive and reliable “one-stop shop” for all balcony component needs.
AliDeck Aluminium Decking for Balconies
Non-combustible, slip-resistant, and durable AliDeck Aluminium Decking is the perfect, fully-compliant choice for your balcony decking needs. As detailed in the government’s Advice Note on Balconies on Residential Buildings, balconies are definitively included in the stringent regulations banning combustible materials in the external walls of high-rise residential buildings above 18 metres.
AliDeck provides an off-the-shelf, fully-compliant balcony decking solution. Our system is a fully-certified and regulation-compliant range of products, suitable for any steel or concrete balcony application, including:
With a host of 20mm and 30mm decking boards available in flat or ridged specifications, along with various support joists and pedestals, the AliDeck System is appropriate for any balcony scenario. All elements achieve Euroclass Classifications of A2-s1, d0 and A2fl-s1, satisfying legal requirements. Our boards are also certified for “Low Risk” slip resistance in wet and dry conditions and have passed Accelerated Wear testing, showing “no observable wear” after 100,000 steps.
AliDrain Balcony Drainage Systems
Effective water management is crucial for the longevity and safety of any balcony. AliDrain Balcony Drainage Systems provide a compliant solution to manage rainwater, preventing pooling, water damage to the building fabric, and issues associated with free-draining balconies, in line with BS8579:2020 guidance.
Our range includes piped deck-level drainage, piped soffit drainage, and edge drainage solutions, ensuring effective water runoff for various balcony designs.
AliClad Aluminium Soffit Systems
For a complete and compliant balcony construction, the underside (soffit) requires a fire-rated and aesthetically pleasing finish. AliClad Aluminium Soffit Systems offer a durable, non-combustible solution for balcony soffits.
AliClad creates an imperforate layer that can limit fire spread and is available in several options, including Decor, Flow (for integrated drainage), and Lite, to suit various aesthetic and functional requirements.
