Our extensive range of aluminium decking offers architects and engineers alike, a wide range of profiles to fit an array of varying requirements such as load bearing capacity, performance and appearance. These can be purchased in standard lengths or bespoke, cut–to-size lengths. Additionally, in most cases aluminium decking can be supplied ex-stock.
ABL Grated decking is suitable for a diverse range of applications and has previously been specified for use across a spectrum of sectors such as: transport, factories, portable maintenance applications and power stations.
ABL Grated decking features a special combination of punching and embossing which ensures safe walking in all directions, excellent water drainage and easy cleaning. The small inside dimensions of the punched holes of 10.5x10.5mm prevent larger sized parts, (eg. bolts and keys etc.), from falling through the grating planks.
ABL Architectural supplies ready to install aluminium decking suitable for a wide range of applications notably for staircases, bridge deckings and flooring used in walkways and balconies. We offer a large range of sizes and load bearing profiles which can be purchased in standard lengths or bespoke cut-to-size lengths. ABL Architectural decking combines the functional possibilities of extrusion technology with the outstanding material properties of anodised aluminium. These qualities ensure that the product offers an attractive and modern aesthetic whilst strongly adhering to UK health and safety regulations.
Aside from the obvious aesthetic and technical appeal of ABL aluminium decking, the product offers many benefits thanks to both the material properties of aluminium and the specialist design features it incorporates.
Product Benefits, Why Aluminium Decking?
-
Environmentally Friendly: 100% recyclable with no downgrading of its properties and very little energy required for re-melting
-
Appearance: features the striking, modern, clean and crisp aesthetic of anodised aluminium
-
Economical: saves money over time due to its longevity and the non-diminishing cash value of scrap aluminium
-
Non-Slip: ridges or drainage holes are machined into the aluminium decking meaning the decking adheres to tight safety regulations. This also ensures effective drainage reducing surface water, which, in turn, aids longevity
-
Virtually Maintenance Free: aluminium is an extremely durable metal meaning the decking does not need replacing or on-going surface treatment as an alternative such as hardwood might
-
Durable: aluminium is an extremely hard metal making it ideal for structures that need to withstand a large amount of weight
-
Easy to Transport: Whilst being a very durable metal, aluminium is also relatively light and soft. This means it is easy to transport to site and can be cut to length with a saw once at its destination if necessary
