Aluminium Decking
Why Choose Aluminium?
Aluminium is exceptionally lightweight, making it easy to install and repair when needed. Despite its low weight, it is nearly twice as strong as many other decking materials and offers excellent fire resistance—perfect for households that enjoy BBQs on their decking.
An environmentally friendly choice, aluminium decking can be produced from recycled materials and is fully recyclable at the end of its lifespan. It can be designed to mimic the appearance of wood or finished with paint or a powder coating to suit individual preferences.
Another major advantage is that, once installed, aluminium decking requires no maintenance, making it a far superior alternative to traditional timber decking.
Cleaning & Maintaining You Decking
Aluminium decking offers another significant advantage—it can be designed with an integral gutter system, improving drainage and preventing leaks or damage to balconies below. To keep it looking its best and ensure the gutter system functions properly, regular cleaning is recommended.
Maintaining aluminium decking is simple and cost-effective, requiring no specialised cleaning products. Warm, soapy water is all that’s needed to clean the surface, followed by a rinse with clean water. Routine cleaning helps preserve its appearance and longevity.
It’s essential to avoid using steel wool, scrapers, or sandpaper, as these can permanently damage the aluminium. Harsh solvents and strong cleaning chemicals should also be avoided. For best results, clean the decking when it’s not in direct sunlight to prevent potential markings. If you encounter stubborn stains, we’re happy to advise on the best removal methods.
