How do AliDeck meet Fire Requirements

AliDeck are committed to helping our nation move towards a fire safe future. Understanding why non-combustible materials matter is essential for architects, developers, and building owners navigating modern fire safety regulations.

So why should you choose AliDeck to keep your balconies safe?

Fully Fire Tested and Compliant with UK Fire Safety Regulations:

  • AliDeck’s balcony components such as decking boards, joists and pedestals have been independently fire tested and certified to Euroclass A2-s1, d0 and A2fl-s1. Which basically means that our materials are non-combustible, contribute no fuel to fire, emit very little to no smoke and produce no flaming droplets.
  • AliDeck’s products are made from 100% aluminium. Unlike timber or many composite decking systems, which can fuel fire spread, AliDeck’s aluminium balconies will not burn and won’t assist with external fire propagation on building facades.
  • UK building regulations and guidance such as PAS 9980 and Fire Safety Act updates, increasingly require balconies to use non-combustible materials to prevent external fire spread. AliDeck’s certified fire performance helps architects, developers and housing associations specify systems that comply with these stricter safety standards.

At AliDeck, we work closely with various sectors of the construction and property management industries. We recognise the expertise these professionals bring to their projects and aim to support their efforts in creating safer living environments. We provide all the certification you need to ensure your project meets the needs of the Building Safety Regulator.

We have developed a comprehensive range of innovative products to help reduce the risk of balcony fires:

All our Balcony Components are Rated A2-s1, d0:

AliDeck is committed to manufacturing fully compliant balcony component systems to the industry. We have submitted our range of products to fire testing at Warrington Fire and have achieved EuroClass ratings of A2-s1, d0 and A2fl-s1, meaning that all our systems are fully compliant with all relevant fire regulations. 

Decking Boards (Senior, Junior, Lite, XL and Ultra Board options):

The AliDeck system is a comprehensive range of aluminium metal decking boards, designed for use on steel or concrete inset balconies but also ideal for use in any decking application, such as terraces or walkways.

Soffit Cladding (Flow, Decor and Lite options):

Our Soffit Cladding options have been designed to provide clean and striking aesthetics, as well as practical functionality, such as wastewater management or creating an imperforate layer to limit fire spread.

Balustrade Systems (Vertical Infill, Juliette and Insight Glass):

Specifying non-combustible aluminium balustrade systems ensures they do not add fuel, drip, or ignite, helping to contain fires at their point of origin. This supports compliance with modern fire regulations and reduces risk to occupants, façades, and adjacent balconies.

Aluminium Fencing and Balcony Dividers:

AliDeck’s balcony dividers are manufactured from durable aluminium with interchangeable panel options and spacing between fencing slats, allowing heat and smoke to disperse rather than become trapped.

Aluminium Drainage Systems (Deck-Level, Soffit and Edge):

AliDeck draining systems exceed NHBC requirements across all key areas, including fire performance, drainage and structural support. Balcony drainage is important for fire safety because effective water run-off prevents the build-up of combustible debris such as leaves, litter, and cigarette ends that can easily ignite.

AliDeck products are easy to clean and maintain, helping to keep balconies free from potentially flammable debris.

Versatile Solutions

Our range includes options for various build-up heights and span requirements, ensuring a suitable fire-safe solutions for any balcony configuration.
