FAQs
Aluminium balcony boards are non-combustible extruded aluminium decking profiles designed specifically for outdoor balconies, walkways, and roof terraces. Manufactured from structural 6063 T6 aluminium, they provide fire safety compliance, rot resistance, and long-term durability.
Yes. Synergised® aluminium balcony boards achieve Euroclass A1 and A2-s1,d0 / A2fl-s1 fire ratings when tested to EN 13501, EN 13823, and EN ISO 1716 standards. This meets UK legal requirements restricting combustible materials on residential high-rise balconies.
Synergised® balcony boards feature a specialized 100-micron Qualicoat™ powder coating that keeps surface temperatures underfoot noticeably cooler than traditional dark composite or timber deck boards during warm weather.
The 25mm Synergised® balcony board system features inter-board drainage channels that collect surface rainwater. The water flows into a 30mm perimeter gutter section with sealed end caps, which directs water directly into the building’s drainage outlet.
The system utilizes pre-engineered aluminium joists (20mm, 70mm, 120mm height options) with snap-fit cradles and self-spacing board connectors. This reduces measuring, cutting, and fastening labor on-site compared to timber or steel substructures.
