WALLBARN PAVES THE WAY TO SUCCESSFUL SUSPENDED DECKING

Not only are suspended decks quick and clean to install, they even-out height differences across site, make flush fitting with doors etc a breeze, deliver built-in drainage and provide a void for services such as power and hvac. What’ s more, well designed and installed paving / decking can be removed for access to the void, facilitating maintenance and futureproofing projects. projects include the ground-breaking outdoor critical care unit at King’ s College Hospital, London, and the newly renovated Harrods Helideck event space, as well as public paving schemes and solutions for restaurants, offices, hotels etc.
The Croydon-based company is confident that it has a solution for most installations. And, because it holds industry-leading stock levels at its London base, can get materials to site quickly.
