Balcony Decking Replacement

Non-Combustible Decking

Non-combustible, slip-resistant and durable aluminium decking is the ideal material for high-rise tower blocks. Designed for ease of installation our decking can replace existing non-compliant timber or composite decking.

Decking Replacement by the Balcony Experts

Following recent building regulation changes, it is now mandatory for all materials used in the external envelope of a building (including balconies) at height to be non-combustible.

The new regulations require an immediate shift away from combustible materials like wooden balconies on new-build, high-rise projects.

Balguard are experts in balcony design and installation and can supply and fit new non-combustible, slip-resistant and durable balcony decking to replace old non-compliant materials that are no longer fit for purpose.

Factory controlled quality testing
Easy to install aluminium decking
Fire-safety tested materials
Legally compliant
Slip-resistant

Safety is our primary concern and ensuring that our products are fit for purpose is at the forefront of our design and installation process.

All decking materials we use are fire-safety tested to EN 13823, EN 13501 and EN ISO 1716 which satisfy legal requirements for new build and retrofit projects.

Our aluminium decking is the perfect solution for new-build or for replacing existing decking that no longer meets the health and safety requirements of your building.

Our commitment to maintaining high manufacturing standards means that stringent quality control checks are made on all our fabricated components and finished products.

Fairbanks Court – Case Study

Balguard were commissioned to replace the existing timber decking on the balconies of 54 apartments in a 13 storey residential block that no longer complied with building regulations. The timber balconies at this block of flats were condemned due to post Grenfell EWS1 regulations.

The new aluminium decking system provided many benefits in addition to being fire rated, such as an anti-slip surface, high durability and attractive modern look. Read more about the installation here – Fairbanks Court, London

Residents were very pleased with the quality of their newly installed new aluminium decking system. We were very happy with Balguard’s performance in terms of responsiveness and time to mobilise, communication and coordination, and value for money, and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.
