AliDeck: Safe, Durable, and Compliant Aluminium Walkway Systems

Walkways are vital for safe and efficient movement, whether at ground-level, elevated to link different areas of a building, or as standalone connecting structures. AliDeck provides a complete suite of non-combustible aluminium systems designed to create robust and long-lasting walkway solutions for commercial, residential, and public sector projects. Our systems ensure safety, durability, and visual appeal, as demonstrated in applications like the Hammersmith Walkway project where AliDeck solutions were utilised to connect building sections.

Our fire-resistant, slip-resistant, and exceptionally durable decking, combined with our drainage, balustrade, and fencing systems, ensures that your walkway projects meet all necessary regulations and user expectations. AliDeck systems are engineered for versatility and ease of installation.

AliDeck Non-Combustible Aluminium Metal Decking for Walkway and Rampway Projects

AliDeck Aluminium Decking for Walkways

AliDeck aluminium decking is the foundation of a safe and durable walkway. Our decking boards are specifically designed for high-traffic areas, offering superior performance and peace of mind.

Uncompromised Fire Safety

All AliDeck decking components achieve an A-Rating for fire safety (A2-s1, d0 and A2fl-s1), meaning they are certified non-combustible and provide no contribution to the spread of fire. This is crucial for compliance and future-proofing against evolving legislation.

Excellent Slip Resistance

Safety underfoot is paramount with our decking boards undergoing rigorous slip-resistance testing to achieve “Low Risk” certification in both wet and dry conditions. This ensures reliable pedestrian safety across all weather conditions and usage scenarios.

Superior Durability

Designed for longevity, AliDeck boards have passed accelerated wear testing with “no observable wear” after 100,000 steps. The robust aluminium construction, always finished to Qualicoat standard, ensures minimal maintenance and a long-lasting appearance.

Versatile System

The AliDeck System includes various board profiles (20mm and 30mm options in flat or ridged specifications), support joists, adjustable pedestals, and essential accessories like nosing profiles. This comprehensive range allows adaptation to diverse walkway designs and project requirements.

Ease of Installation

Contractors appreciate the increased spanning capabilities of our boards, which can save up to 50% on installation time due to reduced framework requirements. The streamlined installation process reduces labor costs while maintaining structural integrity and professional finish quality.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly

AliDeck aluminium decking is 100% recyclable at end of life, contributing to circular economy principles and sustainable construction practices. The long lifespan reduces replacement frequency, minimising environmental impact over time while supporting green building certifications and corporate sustainability goals.

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 Drainage Systems for Walkways

Effective water management is essential for maintaining the safety and integrity of any walkway. AliDrain systems ensure that surface water is efficiently managed, reducing slip hazards and preventing water accumulation that could lead to damage or user discomfort.

Our drainage solutions, including piped deck-level drainage and edge drainage options, can be seamlessly integrated with AliDeck decking to provide a comprehensive water management strategy for walkways.

Key Benefits of AliDrain for Walkways:

  • Integrated Solution: Designed to work seamlessly with AliDeck decking systems.

  • Enhanced Safety: Minimises standing water, reducing the risk of slips and falls.

  • Protects Structure: Prevents water damage to the walkway structure and surrounding areas.
  • Compliance: Helps meet requirements for effective water runoff.

AliRail Balustrade Systems for Walkway Safety

For many walkways, particularly those that are elevated, linking building sections, or alongside hazards, robust safety railings are a mandatory requirement. AliRail Aluminium Balustrade Systems provide compliant, durable, and aesthetically pleasing safety barriers.

Engineered for strength and longevity, AliRail systems ensure user safety without compromising on design. They are low maintenance and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for external walkway environments.
