DECKING
DURA COMPOSITES COMPLETES DECKING PROJECT FOR THE LOCK , GREENFORD QUAY
The decking areas were originally specified with artificial grass but due to the increased need for fire safety on projects of this nature , the Dura Deck system was chosen by the architect as a more suitable option .
Wanting to create a natural look and feel that enhanced the attractive waterside setting , but which met stringent safety protocols , Valley Provincial chose Dura Deck Flip in the Weathered Cedar and Pebble Grey colour pairing .
Dura Deck Flip comes in lengths of 3.66m and is easy to install thanks to its subsurface fixing system , meaning no screws or nails are needed fix the boards in place – leaving a perfect , clean , barefoot friendly deck - perfect for the yoga sessions which are already running for new residents on the roof terrace .
Dura Composites ’ reversible decking boards were installed on the terrace within the communal garden of The Lock at Greenford Quay in West London to enhance the area ’ s natural beauty , whilst meeting strict safety standards .
The Lock at Greenford Quay is a development of 194 waterfront apartments , located in the London Borough of Ealing in West London , featuring a beautifully landscaped garden with innovative seating areas and a stunning rooftop terrace with panoramic views .
Landscape Architects and Environmental Planners , Standerwick Land Design , worked with landscape services specialists , Valley Provincial , to bring the new areas to life . With over 45 years ’ experience , Valley Provincial has won multiple awards for its high-end commercial and residential projects .
The company was responsible for the installation of Dura Composites ’ Class Bfl fire-rated Dura Deck Flip decking and A2 fire-rated substructure system on the terrace and within the communal garden .
The deck is supported by aluminium Dura Pedestal and Dura Bearers with an anti-glare anthracite coloured powder-coated finish which achieves a Class A2 fire rating in accordance with EN13501-1 and can be combined in 42 different ways to create a precise height , which can be as small as a 10mm adjustment when installing any bearer option in combination with the 25.5mm pedestal .
