Why choose Dura Aluminium Decking?

Strong, long-lasting and cost-effective, Dura Aluminium Decking is made from high-grade T6 aluminium and is ideal for any application that requires an A2 Fire Rating in accordance with BS EN 13501, such as residential and mixed-use developments, schools, universities, hospitals and libraries, and much more.

The innovative, patent-pending tongue-and-groove design of this Aluminium Decking features a double skin with an attractive grooved surface and a uniform underside to prevent water forming below the decking area.

With a 150mm visible face, the decking board boasts an integrated gutter system, channelling water away from your structure to create a beautiful, low maintenance deck and a usable, dry space below, whilst simultaneously creating an attractive integrated soffit detail.

The beautiful plank-look surface features the latest technology and can be installed rapidly as no clips are required. The boards span up to 1m (based on stringent 2019 2kN load criteria according to BS 6399-1:1996).

The lightweight 27mm profile means it is ideal for new builds as well as refurbishments where the fire ratings of existing 28mm timber decking are insufficient. The unique surface keeps cool in hot weather and has low slip potential in all directions.
