Remediation
What is the guidance on replacing combustible decking and substructure on existing balconies?
Following Grenfell Tower Fire in June 2017, the Government updated the Approved Document B which states that ‘Relevant Buildings’ (residential or institutional buildings above 18m in height) as defined in Regulation 7(4) must achieve Euroclass A2-s1,d0 fire rating.
In compliance with Approved Document B (Reg 38) of UK Building Regulations, the use of combustible materials in the external walls and specified wall attachments (such as balconies) of new buildings of 18 metres or more in height has been banned. Furthermore, Requirement B4 states that building owners should remove combustible materials from balconies if they are found.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government released a number of advice notes alongside this, providing further guidance on making our buildings safer. The most recent of these came in January 2020, in which they stated that external walls of buildings, of any height, should not assist the spread of fire, in accordance with the functional Requirement B4 of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations.
Balconies made with combustible materials are a potential source of rapid-fire spread on the external wall of residential buildings. It is the view of the MGCLG Expert Panel that as a result, the design of balconies should not assist fire spread along the external wall. Furthermore, they suggest that it is the removal and replacement of any combustible material used in balcony construction is the clearest way to prevent external fire spread from balconies.
We've helped to make thousands of balconies safe by replacing outdated composite and timber deck boards with Ryno aluminium decking systems. Enquire to learn more

FAQs
How can I be certain that the powder coating on aluminium decking won't wear through in highly trafficked areas?
Interpon D1036 Textura powder coating is specially designed to be scratch and knock-resistant in high-traffic areas. We've tested this claim by having the powdercoating on RynoAluTerrace deck boards tested for wear with what is known as 'Footfall testing' which simulates crowds walking on a floor covering replicating both walking in a straight line and turning corners. Tested up to 100,000 footfalls, there was no wearing observed whatsoever.
Do you offer cut to length boards?
Absolutely. We want to minimise the amount of on-site work for contractors. Cutting boards to length is no problem at all.
Which colours are your aluminium deck boards available in?
Because we have a complete 'Colour Range Assesment' Reaction to Fire Test, AluTerrace deck boards are available in any standard RAL colour. Review the chart of classic RAL colours here: https://www.ral-farben.de/content/anwendung-hilfe/all-ral-colours-names/overview-ral-classic-colours.html
Do you offer a design service?
Yes we do! Our design team are always on hand to help bring life to your project plans.
What does A1 fire rating mean?
The European Reaction to Fire classification system is the EU common standard for understanding a products fire performance. A Euroclass A1 fire rating is - by definition - 'non-combustible' meaning it will not burn under normal conditions.
The European Commission decision of 4th October 1996 lists the products which are classified as having 'no contribution to fire' and can therefore classify as A1 fire rated. Some examples fo the materials listed include steel, copper, aluminium, glass, ceramics, concrete and natural stone.
