Excellent installation of AliDeck aluminium decking to balcony refurbishment project in Lewisham

Seeing our aluminium decking projects installed is always a good experience but when the installation is part of a refurbishment project to replace combustible timber decking for improved fire safety, it’s even better.

AliDeck approved installer Alu-Installations has been working hard on this timber replacement project in Lewisham, London. With multiple balconies of different sizes and shapes around the buildings, this is a good sized project that is an excellent demonstration of the utility of our non-combustible aluminium decking.

Timber decking on existing high-rise buildings is a major issue. Following the Grenfell tragedy, a much greater scrutiny has been placed on fire safety and regulations and legislation continue to shift towards a more fire safe future. In short, combustible materials in the external envelope of a building, such as timber or composite decking, must be replaced.

This project in Lewisham is doing just that; replacing the non-compliant timber decking with our A1 Rated non-combustible aluminium decking. Using our 20mm Junior Flat Board and 50mm Low Joist, the existing balcony decking and beams are able to be directly replaced. Also, due to the utilisation of our Drainage Channel between the boards, controlled drainage is achieved for an even better balcony experience for the residents.

Alu-Installations are an AliDeck Approved Installer and have completed our Training Academy programme. We deliver the Training Academy at our Rochester HQ and it is intended to help our customers get to grips with all aspects of the AliDeck System to ensure hassle-free and excellent installations.
