A recent partnership between D1 Decking Solutions and AliDeck, a market-leading manufacturer of aluminium decking and balcony components, breathed new life into the balconies and terraces at Beacon Rise Residential Complex in Cambridge.
Unfortunately, the existing balconies and terraces at Beacon Rise did not meet current fire safety standards. Residents were concerned about safety and were looking for a solution that provided an outdoor space that was not only safe, but durable and aesthetically pleasing. The property owner was proactive in addressing this concern and AliDeck was the solution.
The pre-existing timber decking required remediation with a suitable and direct replacement, bringing the balcony and terrace deck areas in line with current regulations. In accordance with BS 8579:2020, timber and composite materials have no longer been deemed suitable for use, with aluminium decking widely regarded as the new standard across the industry.
When powder-coated, our products achieve fire ratings of A2-s1, d0 and A2-fI-s1 the second highest Euro-Class rating and therefore adheres to current regulations outlined in BS 8578:2020. Residents can now feel safe in their own homes without fear of being unable to sell or re-mortgage, a struggle recently faced by thousands of leaseholders following EWS1 & FRAEW Surveys.
AliDeck supplied a full system solution that includes:
- 20mm Junior Flat Decking Board
- Low Joist
- Adjustable Pedestal Brackets
- Providing a Cost-Effective and Hassle-Free solution.
To begin the replacement process, the aged timber decking was removed to expose the steel sub-frame. To achieve the required build-up heights, our 20mm Junior Board, 50mm Low Joist, and 90mm Adjustable Pedestal Brackets were combined to create a variety of required heights to ensure smooth and flat surfaces to avoid any potential safety risks.
The boards and joists were supplied in our popular RAL 7030, Stone Grey powder-coated on our Qualicoat accredited powder-coated line, which is available as one of our 15 standard colours, with further RAL colour options also available for bespoke project specifications. Only the top sides of the boards have been powder-coated to save on costs, without any visual impact on the overall aesthetic of the installation.
Aluminium Decking is not only a futureproof solution for fire safety, but it also offers supreme slip-resistance and wear resistance. Residents of Beacon Rise will have the assurance that they will not only be safe during times of the heavy rainfall but that their decking surfaces will remain aesthetically pleasing for decades to come. As a result, the property will maintain a higher level of value, and our customers will benefit from a minimum 60-year life expectancy and 30-year manufacturer warranty.
