Balcony Remediation at XQ7, Manchester with Quality Fast Facades
Thousands of multi-storey residential buildings across the UK continue to require remediation as combustible balcony materials are reviewed against current fire safety regulations. Aluminium balcony component solutions from AliDeck are helping building owners, property managers, and their residents create fire-safe, futureproof outdoor spaces.
Our team recently visited XQ7, a residential development in Manchester, where a balcony remediation project has been completed by installer QFF (Quality Fast Facades).
The specification for this project was our Lite Board, an A-Rated aluminium decking board designed specifically with remediation and retrofit applications in mind. Fire-rated to A2-s1,d0 and A2fl-s1, the Lite Board is slip-resistant, low-maintenance, and comes with a 30-year manufacturer product warranty and a minimum 60-year expected lifespan, aligning with the design life of the buildings it serves.
For XQ7, the Lite Board was supplied as a custom extruded length, tailored precisely to the project. Producing boards to the exact lengths required removes on-site cutting and eliminates material waste, which is better for the environment and delivers cost savings for the project. With our aluminium boards manufactured from up to 67% recycled content and fully recyclable at end of life, this approach reflects our commitment to sustainable solutions across the remediation sector.
Product innovation is central to how AliDeck supports projects like XQ7. The Lite Board was developed as a cost-effective entry-level system for remediation, refurbishment, and value-engineering projects, and its top-fix channel design allows for fast, hassle-free installation, helping installers like QFF deliver efficiently on site.
This project adds to AliDeck's extensive experience supporting remediation works across the UK, replacing combustible balcony materials and bringing existing building stock in line with today's fire safety standards. Residents at XQ7 now benefit from safe, compliant, and attractive balcony spaces for decades to come.
